What we should have is elevated mass transit

What we should have is elevated mass transit only systems and compact cities with the entire groundscape both green and scaled to human life. But being that the most powerful companies on the planet are all dependent on the wasteful paradigm of sprawl, ineffecient cities/buildings, and automobiles, this is what we get. That is the problem with monopolies. Industries that do not have to compete become stagnant. And actually in a lot of ways I think you can see the same thing happening with computers and electronics.

Same thing happened to Nissan when they introduced the GT R. The GT R had to prove itself on track. and it did. Now sure, the vast majority of GT R owners go for straight line stuff. But anyone with track experience will know that a GT R in decent hands on a track will 100% walk the talk. Does everyone like the GT R? Obviously not. But it lives up to its marketing.

Has anyone encountered this problem? Both the Chicco and Headwise are relatively compact seats, but would possibly changing out the Graco for an even skinnier Diono Radian or Safety First guide 65 perhaps solve the problem? As well as switching up seat location or installation method (moving one to middle of a smaller seat works, changing up seatbelt vs. latch etc)?

There was always the option to install the base with a seat belt which is what we were planning on, but the lady on the phone told me that we wouldn’t be using the base at all and that we’d just have to strap the seat in with the belt which doesn’t seem all that safe to me.

The great recession is still in progress and till it’s gonna be there for quite sometime. It has affected each and everyone of us. But I was wondering what are the things that we learned (or are still learning) from the meltdown. I personally have learned two things;1. We all must have savings, no.

He is very impulsive and not very sensible just yet.landscapeartistposted 7 years agoin reply to thiswhere i live the kids are known for sneaking around taking people cars out of their driveway and returnin them before anyone wakes up. i lock my car and keep my keys up in my room.

Be patient. Good negotiations won end in a day or two. I manage to net thousands off the “discounted” (right. not) Internet price simply by knowing my options, reasonable prices, and remaining polite (but firm). And this is all without angering the salesperson either. Don make life miserable for salespeople. It okay to play hard ball; it not okay to be an aggressive and unreasonable asshole. There is a difference.

And then you be stuck in a mode of buying new luxury cars, which will be a major expense over your lifetime and it matter less and less.Another alternative is to save up to buy the car you want with cash. It easy to overspend when you thinking about a car in terms of payments, but the tradeoffs are more stark when you pay with cash.That said, I won be the pf stereotype of saying “no new cars or luxury cars ever”.

And to declare that only you (or other citizen) has a right to determine the validity of police suspicion is just as wrong. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen any police brutality where the police had no reason to suspect that either a crime had been or soon might be committed.

BMW’s designers draw inspiration from areas such as architecture and contemporary interior design. It is a prodigious effort of creation, relaying back to Munich every advance observed in new technology. Sometimes ideas arrive as “old tech”, sketches in a notebook from someone’s travels. All this input is refined by the design team.

Do not get me wrong, on two occasions as a youth I was whooped upon and jailed and then released without charges as a youth. I was known, due to sports, but I also wrote and distributed an underground newspaper with forbidden information back then clean needles, contraceptives, petitions for all kinds of things, family planning, locations for anti war demonstrations. And I wore my hair pretty wild for a backwater town.

With regard to the charging and range situations, it not a phenomenon unique to the Bolt, it applies to all other pure EVs. Charging and range limitations are really big negatives for a large number of car owners in this country. The USA is a huge place with a petroleum based car culture going back since almost the beginning of the automobile. While I would bet long road trips are infrequent for most car owners, their place in our psyche is larger than in real life. family vacations, emergency last minute dashes across hundreds (or even thousands) of miles, college travel (prospective college visits, move in day, spring break, et al), distant special events (concerts, sports, etc) are all disproportionately enshrined in our collective conscious compared to our daily commutes. pure EVs just can fill this need yet. they will get there with time, but until then, it is unreasonable to pretend it not a significant drawback. There is really no point in trying to convince someone to buy an EV by downplaying this fact. they are great second cars, and they are great cars for people who are fed up with big oil/climate change/high gas prices, and hence willing to adjust their lifestyle as necessary. for most everyone else, hybrids and ICE vehicles are a much safer bet, and a much easier sell.

You will have a CPO warranty for a while but things seem to start going very wrong after the first 3 4 years. My car was often at the dealer for things such as faulty electronics, leaks, broken sway bars. The repairs only costed me time but it would been expensive after the CPO warranty expires.

Hi! We just had our second baby this week and have unfortunately discovered that when our Chico keyfit 30 (behind passenger side for our newborn ) and FF Graco headwise (behind driver for 3 year old) are installed (putting any of these seats in the middle is impossible, unfortunately, both installed with latch) an adult passenger cannot fit in the middle of both our 08 Honda Civic and 06 BMW X3. We suspected that this would be the case with the civic, but very surprised with the X3 is of course a bigger car and which we use most often and take on longer trips.

Hot take: universal income is a radical strategy that may actually provide some ideas on things we can do. In that ideal society where people can become engineers, artists, teachers, or whatever they want, people bfakn.club still need means to live their life. People that are satisfied chilling out, casually meeting with friends and doing simple work should have the means to live. There should be an award for working hard and really testing yourself, but it should all be on a spectrum.

I was informed by the dealer, that due to some changes Audi made in the brake materials, squeaking was normal. It was such a common complaint, I was even given a pre printed pamphlet all about “brake noise”. I was relieved that nothing was wrong with my brakes, but the squeaking can be very annoying.

As for impact, the CV is the only class that has such a strong influence on other ships. If there are CVs in queue, other ships have to take the AA fire consumable and equip AA flags. The popularity of DDs has tanked across the board (only 15% in Asia, wow). Other ships like the Zao go from being viable picks to very weak because of permaspotting and lack of good AA defense. Concealment is much less valuable across the board, significantly reducing the disadvantages of some niche builds like legendary Henri.

Thank you for your reply Nightstorm_NoS, my budget was 1/2 off that, and I know people are going to say that if you have a low budget you should steer clear from a BMW, electric or not. Every one in my neighborhood it seems has now taken delivery of their model 3 has they are all over the place. It a cool car but it is by no mean a city car, which is what I need. We have a ICE Suv for long range, for now. I have taken delivery of the i3 REX and I can say for sure, I would have been frustrated but the Bev version. Consider it cheating but the Rex extender has proven so far to be worth the extra $$. I coded the car and I have driven with 174 miles of range, light foot and taking advantage of steep downhills with battery Soc hold. I can charge or I can pump, having flexibility is sure sweet.

The Audi TT RS is coming to the United States in limited quantities, and it’s only available with a proper manual transmission. This sportier version of the TT has plenty of grip, with its wide tires and Audi’s Quattro AWD system. Add the 360 horsepower produced by the five turbocharged cylinders to these factors, and the acceleration from this car is absolutely brutal. Unlike most of the cars on this list, which have rear wheel drive, the TT RS can get more of its power to the road on hard launches. Despite the car’s sporty performance, it isn’t a stripped out hardcore track monster. It’s got a decently sized trunk, rear seats that can fit a gym bag or small children, and a good sized driver’s seat taller individuals who might not fit in something like a Porsche Boxster can comfortably drive the TT RS. In summary, the TT RS delivers plenty of performance to keep your inner Stig happy while maintaining some semblance of practicality.

This helps address a potential conflict of interest which is called the principal agent problem. The issue is that agent (Raiola) is representing not only the financial interests of his principal (de Ligt), but also of Raiola himself. If Raiola were to get a percentage of whatever de Ligt is paid, then Raiola interests should be fully aligned with his principal, and he is incentivized to get de Ligt the best possible contract because that will get him the most compensation as well.

People like you make finding a job where you can feel relaxed about what you say, near impossible. It took me 15 years to end up at a place where people like you don exist. And it has been heaven. Now go away where I don have to deal with how excruciatingly fucking dumb you are.

To me, life is science. We are created from the most common atoms throughout existence and to think that we are somewhat special is fucking comical. Earth has been around for about 4.5 BILLION years and multi cell life only being around 600 MILLION years. I just some organism that will exist and die in a mere pinpoint on that timeline and my atoms will continue one just like they did the billions of years before I came into existence.

She can’t get guys and says it’s because they can’t afford her and then eats like a high school football team. She always bitches on Facebook that her town doesn’t have a prince worthy of rescuing her. I’m not close enough to tell her she’s fat and everyone around her enables her by telling her how beautiful she is. She looks like Jabba the Huts uglier stunt double.

My 3.5 year old is in a Roundabout, just about to outgrow it (he is just under 40 pounds and 40 inches, 15 inch torso). 18 month old is in a Comfortsport RF (rear facing) with about 3 inches(approx) left of shell above his head (24 pounds, 34 inches, 12.5 inch torso). The infant seat I have is a Peg Perego sip 22 pound limit. We just sold my Miitsubishi Endeavor today, and my husbands current car is a Ford Excursion so room is not a problem. I will most likely start driving the Excursion town with the kids he will get a smaller car (possibly a BMW or similar size) to commute to work. However we would still like the option of drviing in the car with the 3 kids if possible. Plan on having to buy a few new carseats either way. I was looking at a Frontier for my older child for the Excursion, and was going to buy him a Radian for my Endeavor but now we sold that car.

Put the Defender outboard on passenger side for the teacher to help your son in/out of the car. It’s easy to buckle/unbuckle; by the time school starts, your son may be able to even do it himself! (And if the teacher or any other school parents complain to you about the extra 30 seconds it takes to buckle a child into a 5 point harness, tell them that at his young age and size, those 30 seconds make ALL the difference to his safety in a car crash. Isn’t a child’s life and future worth 30 seconds???)

Would you drive such a showy car? If it was what I wanted and could afford, sure. Currently I drive a 07 VW New Beetle. Its my dream car. DH (dear husband) offered to let me trade it in for something “better” and I refuse. I love that thing, it works great, and my kid, carseat, gear and groceries all fit quite nicely. Not to mention its paid off. I would rather spend my money on clothes, shoes and bags then a “better” car though. Although I am sure people would find that pretentious. It’s a fundamental way that humans communicate with each other.

For full disclosure, I had a Coccoro for DD. Loved the seat, and DD (dear daughter) outgrew it RF (rear facing) at 35″ and 26 27 lbs. I think it’s the cutest baby product on the market, but it’s a niche seat and not useful for most people. It sounds like you, like me, may be the 5% for whom it’s perfect.
