(But seriously I think the first gen was better looking than this new smiling blobfish)

Am I a day late? God dammit.

I so don’t understand how that is better than this.

Don’t recline your damn seat.

This is my favorite crack pipe ever.

Ooh, nice splice.

Yeah... you can’t anymore :(

I’d bet a TA/KO 2 or a Grabber ATX is available in a workable size. Might rub a little at lock, but wouldn’t be the end of the world.

I’m definitely going to price out laser cutting some tinted Lexan and 3d printing some adapters for the factory visor hardware in, hm, all of my vehicles.

REI has an exclusive Yakima that’s a bit more palatable at $1000-1500 (the 3-person is on sale for 1000 - down from 1500 - at the moment), but yeah they’re still crazy expensive. Also, if you take your rugged off-road vehicle camping and want to go explore, but have a rooftop tent, it means BREAKING CAMP every morning…

Did the nice folks at BMW offer to sell you a piece of branded luggage to haul that huge-ass key around in?

Good point. I was more just noting that VW is now in the 7-passenger space.

I feel like we can’t be far from a 7-passenger Cayenne. (See: VW Atlas)

They called it the wrong thing and also shaped it the wrong way.

Oh yeah I love that he seems to be having fun. That’s all I want for him. If he wants to run it back next year, do it. If he wants to call it quits, do it. You’re right that he’s absolutely earned the right to do whatever he wants.

Oh I know he’s creakier than the Texas Giant (if you’ll permit me a DFW-centric point of reference), but I just want to see him play again before he retires. I went to several games a year when I lived in Dallas but since moving back to Austin it’s hard to make it to many. Gotta catch him one last time if this is…

I’ve got tickets to the season finale in San Antonio (juuuust in case it’s Dirk’s last game) and I’m going to be indescribably upset if Dirk doesn’t suit up.

Yeah, it seemed dumb to me. The Mavs have quite possibly the best medical staff in the NBA, though, so maybe he had responded well to treatment and they’d determined there was no risk of further injury.

He strained his knee in the previous game against Houston. Can’t help but wonder if he maybe should have taken the night off for rest.

A coworker of mine had one of these and cut bait when he had to get the manual gearbox replaced for the second time. And as a fellow tall person who has ridden in one of them, surely you also remember the obscenely low roofline–I had to duck to see traffic lights from across the intersection and the top of the windows…
