I like your guys’ mindset. Come to my house and relieve me of somr of my shit. lmao

Indeed. I do try to at least have a reason, even if it’s a bit silly-feeling.

Once every couple weeks or so.

We don’t blame you, we blame the system as a whole and the politics and lobbyists that keep us here.

Oh, very rigorous automotive engineering standards.

I agree with you that it’s a morally conplex situation and this was likely not the right move, but at the same time… This is what art is. Art isn’t just cheap laughs as memes. Some of my favorite comics are the deeply personal ones that convey pain, depression, suffering, even loss.
However i will add that Loss never really landed for me. I thought it was odd and the art style didn’t do it any favors.

For a 350 to get 7mpg it would have to be a race built engine or simply run like garbage. I don’t even know how you could get a 305 to get that poor mileage but 🤷‍♂️

Oh wow. The one my friend had got almost 20. He gave me a hard time because it got better mileage than my Jeep XJ of the time.

A friend of mine had a Caprice Classic. Such a good car. It was soft and smooth and the economical 305 V8 made good torque while still getting good mpg!

Yes, slow by modern (and my) standards but compared to older cars it’s quite good.
And while peak power is low it makes decent torque in the midrange and is tuned well for daily driving.

My 2014 Kia Rio has crank windows, no cruise control, 6-spd manual trans. No touchscreens–only buttons.
Car is very slow (1.6L non-turbo) but gets ~36mpg average. I’ve gotten as much as 40 when actually driving for mpg.

I do agree that if people weren’t morons there would be less necessity for regulation. However, that is not the case.

It’s common sense to drive slowly in a populated area and yet people need to be told to drive slower in a school zone. We only have ourselves to blame.

Took me a while to figure out what to feel, too, but fret not- i gotchu fam 👌

That doesn’t actually change anything, though.

$99 for a couple of squirts, you say? 🤔
Go on…

My comment was not about you specifically. I thought i wrapped it up with general terms clearly enough to show that but maybe not.

If your optimism is lost by considering other aspects of the situation then i would argue you aren’t optimistic, you’re distracted or deluded.

An optimist would see the other aspects and remain positive, because that’s optimism – just how the opposite would go for a pessimist.

Someone purposefully ignoring or avoiding other aspects ofnthe situation is seeking distraction or delusion, imo, and wouldn’t be considered optimistic.

You do not speak for me.

I’m pointing out that people only care about things when it applies to them.
You’re weirdly defensive.
