A few points on this..
1. That first analysis is flawed according to your own, later, point. The analogy is more like this: Bob, VW - killed 10 people, sells bread. Joe, GM / Toyota / Ford -...
My parents had a VW Eurovan. Fantastic vehicle from the perspective of an 11 year old. But the stories about it's reliability from the perspective of a car owner? They had to replace the engine...
I have a higher opinion of some companies than others. Companies are like people - and not just legally. You can have some companies that are far more willing to bend the rules to benefit themselves...
Yeah - it kinda sucks - but we just don't have a space for one anymore. When we get an actual house, and there's a spot for a third car, I can definitely see myself getting a little used Miata, or...
Poked around for a used one for a while - but they're pretty rare up here. Especially with a stick shift - which is what I would have wanted since it was available with one.
Not a chance. They lied to my face about what the car did, they sold it on merits that didn't exist, and the emissions were not slightly worse, they were significantly worse. it's a huge issue for...
VW lost me forever with the TDI issue. And I'm digging the newest Volvos. Though I'll always prefer a boxy Volvo design to the newer swoop looks. Part of why my wife's appeals to me. I can't speak...
Yeah - but I don't think that extends to letting them kill them. It's like this in my mind - they could have worked the story in any number of ways to both give Han the emotional attempt at saving...
Yeah, this XC70 is surprisingly quick. It's the T6 with something like 285 hp. And with AWD - it's quick if you want it to be. When i eventually get rid of my 3, I think a new V70 T6 will be on my...
I do have a long list of grievances and complaints that I'd like someone to deal with.
And khakis are quickly becoming my pant of choice. Though I've not yet begun to hike them up.
But...
I don't know... I mean maybe. I've heard that perspective before, too. And I guess I kind of get it. But this is Han Solo man. I know it's his son and everything, but I still would have wanted to...
Also - I have no idea why this is happening to me - but I'm really beginning to love Volvos. We bought my wife a preowned XC70 a while back. And I find it just a fantastic car. To the point where...
Yeah - I meant 7. I liked it. But... at the risk of divulging too much. I didn't like the ending. At all.
I'm not saying that it wasn't a necessary conclusion. But for that particular exit, I...
This is my favorite depiction of Edmonton Roads. Just about right, to be honest. Though this year should be a bit better since it never really got all that cold over the winter...
...
I'm really looking forward to this one. Especially after Episode 8 which... I have a hard time with.
I don't know... I mean I get the thinking behind what Glenn did - but... wow. It's a big directional change for the group.
We've had this long standing distinction in TWD between killing...
The Carol breakdown thing didn't really bother me. in fact I kinda find it one of the more interesting plot twists to the show. And I'm not entirely unsure that it's unreasonable either - she's...
I've never understood the backlash against 'aged lume'. No one is pretending it's a vintage watch. This isn't the "Fender-custom-shop-ization" of watches - face scratches and wear and dings. ...
That is one beautiful watch. I've seen a couple versions of this model on display - and it never ceases to amaze me. Clean design, but interesting design. A tough combination to pull off. But...
That Oris is one of my favourites now. Very, very tempted. I've wanted a bronze dive watch for some time now. That one, I think, is a bit out of what I'd want to spend just yet... Still.... looks...
Well, Tech divers are the badasses of the underwater world...
But seriously, i can see the benefit of AI - I'm just not sure I could ever dive without an analog air pressure gauge. So AI would be...
I'm actually kind of curious that they don't. They market them as being the watch for technical and rebreather divers.
Although come to think of it, that might actually be why they don't offer...
For the Shearwater Perdix. Could get the Petrel 2 for the same price - but I'm inclined towards the Perdix. Smaller, lighter, less intrusive. Though not as easily used with rebreathers...
Hmnnn looks like my decision may have been made for me. The discount my friend can get is $275 off sale price. So just over $800. Fantastic price for this, I think, since they retail for $1075 up...
Interestingly, I may have a line on being part of a bulk purchase of Shearwater Perdix in the near future. one of my former instructors, and current dive buddies, no longer has his dive shop - but...
