Also, why are F-150's so expensive? MSRP on a base model of one of those is $29,000. Yikes.
4 and half years later the MSRP a new F-150 base model is $37,000.

f150s have years you're supposed to buy and years you're supposed to avoid. i mean other mfgs too, but wtf is ford doing? it's supposed to be like the 'murica flagship.

I don't know how you even fuck up producing a car in the year 2025. We nailed the basics of how cars work over a century ago.

the one thing cars no longer need are cigarette lighters.

fuck smoking. the biggest mutual rollings of eyes from fellow drivers at stop lights isn't at the guy with enough speakers to be classified as driving a sonic weapon. it's the dickhead hanging their cigarette out the window because they don't want to stink up the insides of their car or whatever. up goes everybody else's windows, and off go the fans. can be a 95F day, but nobody wants to breathe that shit.

how do you make a product designed for people to inhale smell more noxious than literal car exhaust? it's mind-boggling. it's a relief i don't live in an apartment next to a smoker. trashy, low-class habit.

i'm seeing a lot more EVs lately. is it weird that they sound more badass than a gaudy muscle car? like a starfighter pulling into the stall next to me. how quiet would roads be, i wonder, if all motorists had these?

aye that's what you'll get when you spend as little as possible on replacements then hammer them everywhere, they warp and need replaced. this latest set I sprung for a set of Bosch ones with nice pads so hoping they withstand a bit more punishment, but realistically the i20's probably had its last MOT.

you're stinking up the inside of your car either way, hanging your hand out the window is probably more to do with the fact it's 95f. and it smells worse because it doesn't have a complicated exhaust system with a catalytic converter attached to it.

New cars have ports for cigarette lighters but don't come with the actual lighter anymore.

When I quit smoking I used to be able to smell cigarette smoke from a car across the intersection.

I don't really mind if people smoke, but I always go crazy when I see someone smoking in their cars with the windows up. Disgusting on every level.

fair commentaries but:

@fin if it's hot and you need to crank the window down, put your cigarette out instead of hanging it outside. not everyone in traffic wants to smell it. also, i knew people who hang out their house/apartment windows to smoke so "their kids don't get it." they do the same in the car. i've got some bad news …

@ken maybe just don't smoke in your car.

infuriating stuff. you can go to the corner of a car lot to smoke and people will still smell your stench from the storefront. in line with a chain smoker near by and it's like standing in a chemical factory. blegh.
