I will admit, when the first mentions of it came out, and it was going to be this cheap, capable, all-electric futuremachine, I was tempted to put down a deposit. At first I thought the design was functional, to keep manufacturing cheap and have a durable, Midwest-proof vehicle between the stainless and aluminum.
It turned out to be 100% the opposite of what I had imagined, so thankfully figured I’d wait. Decided keep my 10 year old car until it NEEDS replacement (which it does not).
Nothing is wrong with reverse parking, just like nothing is wrong with front parking.
Personally I front park because I feel it’s safer pulling in, so I can ensure I have the space I need to back out. It’s the routine I have, that works for me. I know lots of people who have their backing in routine and it works for them.
We’re all wired differently, we might get there on a different path, but we’re all headed in the same direction.
Just watched SLC Punk last night, as a 90’s kid, was a real nostalgia gut punch. One of the characters, Eddie, took me back to my 90’s teenage growing up when they threw metrosexual at me.. I always took it as a compliment, never helped me with the ladies though.
Right, I’m sure my company did an exhaustive search and just so happened to be a coincidence that all the most qualified talent has the same last name. Weird.
See, the problem with this line of thinking is that it took thought, and reasoning and intelligence. You are supposed to just listen to what the teevee and the real important people, the influencers, tell you. That’s the only way to get to the real truthiness of these situations.
good point. It still makes me smile how that one went down. imagine if we were all on f’ing itanium instead.
I’m on year 9 of my 10 year car plan. Current vehicle is supposed to become the kidmobile and I planned on a new one.
I won’t buy a new car though. If I do replace mine, it will be a used, unconnected car. I am so tired of iPads on wheels.
