This is one I use frequently on facebook when people are being dumb and I'm about to explain it to them.

trippy!

give it another try?

didn't it work for you?

It will be so much fun! But be careful because Judge Judy is still watching

I've seen them many times from a distance and they are quite beautiful. But to really get the full effect, go down to the end of the runway at O'Hare, you can drive there, and watch as one of these ( An Air China in my case) takes off practically over your head. Not only do you get to appreciate the beauty... but you end up in awe of the size. My brain said "My god, that's a big ship!"

If someone else was paying and the cruise went some place I was specifically interested in, I might do it. I would never seek one out though. With one exception... I think the River cruises they offer in Europe look really cool. I would be interested in one of them. Substantially smaller boats.

That wasn't directed at anyone in particular. We can still chat about these cars. Just new ones go into May

If I had the room and found a final year Town Car that wasn't beat to hell in livery service, I'd probably snatch it. That or a '97. BTW, it's May, so new spots need a new thread.

Wut?

Moved to lounge.

A Land Rover CR-V Freelander would be the bees-knees for the brand reputation.

In a famous meetup, the Eyesore of the Seas, the Ungainly of the Seas, and the Tacky of the Seas.

Also the difference between a cruise and a crossing. You'll never find me on a cruise, but I would love to do a crossing.

Two possibilities - 1. The battery is toast, you just haven't hit totally dead yet, and the alternator is working overtime to try and keep it charged. Drive this way too long (a couple weeks to a month) and you'll toast the alternator too. 2. The voltage regulator is toast (this means you'll need a new alternator) and will eventually kill the battery too if driven for even just a week of normal usage. You can potentially fry other electronics in the car as well. Easiest step is to take the battery to be tested somewhere. If it tests good, schedule an electrical system check somewhere and be prepared (or warn your parents in this case) for an alternator replacement that could be coming. The graphics being wonky are probably just a symptom of abnormal electrical system operation.

I'm guessing we don't see it here. If this is indeed a stretched Cherokee, it is unlikely it would meet US side-impact standards.

I have to say, this is kind of growing on me over time. It would never be a replacement for the Grand Cherokee, but I think it still might have a place in the Jeep lineup to let the JGC move up market.

How easy would it be for Toyota to build a 4Runner EXT?

There's a lot more wealth in NJ also. It comes from being the bedroom state for NYC and Philly. Out in the middle of Pennsyltucky or even here in the smoldering ruins of former steel towns, there's not much revenue to collect on a dilapidated mobile home.

The new Explorer platform is apparently flexible enough. Hopefully they can use that for some Lincoln sedans as well as the Aviator.

Another one going 48 volt and probably getting there before Mercedes... Liters per 100 KM feels weird to us Americans. For reference, 10 liters per 100km = 28 mpg.... lower liters is better. Dropping the fuel usage 0.3 liters / 100km in the range the Golf would be playing in is roughly an increase of 2 mpg. Because of the nature of how MPG works, the conversion rate is not consistent.

I thought the next generations Continental was getting suicide doors.

I don't understand why Genesis would not offer Apple Car Play or Android Auto when Kia UVO and Hyundai BlueLink both come with it. I've been seeing a lot of G80s and G90s around here. The do catch the eye... they have presence on the road.

New ways to make an old technology viable for the future is not "living in the past". Keeping the old technology around just because and ignoring the consequences of that technology would be living in the past.

I may be behind a bit, I thought he wasn't governor anymore.
