The gp was comparing to luxury performance cars, which typically eat through brakes, tires and suspension equipment 2 - 4x as quickly as a non-lux/performance car like your Toyota. They also typically require premium fuel and have uni

Yeah, as a Michigan resident, the gp's criticism sounds like something that would have been said 10 - 12 years ago. Sours, lighter styles (session ales), spiced ales and other interesting variants are typically a lot more prominent on

Here's a long list, along with a list of carseats that have been tested "3 across" in those cars. A minivan or SUV would undoubtedly be easier to load kids in and out of, of course. https://www.thecarcrashdetectiv

I disagree - the last 2 years of the legal US marijuana market were arguably dominated by vape carts, which are generally considered lightweight and weak for the connoisseurs of high-THC flower/concentrates. With the lung disease outb

And yet we're having an eerily identical discussion to the one that happened 10 - 12 years ago. Among the Porsche faithful, it was patently absurd, if not offensive. The press treated it as a marketing stunt. One is a make and one

Leaving it at "Explorer buyers" understates it. It's almost impossible to buy an Expedition, which sells well, under $50,000. F-series trucks are the most widely owned vehicles by millionaires and cost in the range of a we

FWIW, I got my wife's engagement ring at www.moissaniteco.com about five years ago. She's been thrilled with the quality and we got nothing but befuddled wows at the 1.5 carat stone.

My grandmother grew up in Detroit in the 1920's/30's and speaks fondly of the neighborhood numbers man, as if he was an upstanding member of the Italian-American community.

In a country this big, there are massive areas just a little bit off of the beaten path where millions of people live where the suffering these numbers speak to is largely taking place - areas where people have few employment or higher educ

Funny, having young kids is what has sent me back to hotels (at least for the time being), simply because they are mostly designed with accessibility and some level of child-proofing. Also, the long corridors, lobbies and elevators in hote

I wonder if anyone will try to disrupt the wedding space. As things stand, it's very, very difficult to have a 200 - 300 person wedding under 10K. We rented a VFW Hall in an unsexy corner of town, did our own flower arrangements, got

Healthy meal kits have been great "training wheels" for my wife and I to make less processed meals. Specifically, Hello Fresh meals typically have a major veggie/whole food emphasis. The biggest revelation is that roasting

I struggled with self-esteem and shyness in my 20's and therapy changed my life. Even if you have a supportive circle of friends, a good therapist can be a wonderful, transformative presence in your life. They can give you refreshing

1 and 2 are signature Toyota characteristics, and I'd expect them to be apparent on a big vehicle with little performance emphasis like the Venza. There are a lot of good Japanese cars that have lots of available torque and road-feel.

From what I've seen, this has nothing to do with medical advice - it's lifestyle advertising driven by the fact that these are popular/attractive/respected 24-year oldswith a big built-in social network of other high ach

An Audi SUV's price isn't justifiable given almost every use case for a consumer automobile, but a lot of people enjoy the experience and find it worth paying tens of thousands dollars more than a Camry. By comparison, if you wor

If you're in a major city, this is probably a safe assumption, but there are plenty of areas where an extra bedroom is a pretty modest expense. A few years ago I had a nice 2 bedroom apartment right off the campus of a major midwest c
