This is a pretty great article tbh. Plainly spells out major economic issues and wider ranging impacts on an entire generation and does so by using proportions of income to different expenses. Also notes male / female income disparities and student debt pressures new to recent generations. Also lmao since it was written the avg home price has gone up another $91,000.

Please allow me a pass on a palate cleanser with something beautiful Did a lot of driving yesterday, and saw a late 70s/early 80s 911sc out in the wild. It was noticed and it was beautiful. I'm sure I passed by a dozen Cayennes as well. Didn't notice a single one. If one views cars as status objects, then Porsches will be identified as Cayennes. If one views cars as beautiful objects that one engages with in a symphony of human and mechanical interaction, then Porsches will be identified as 911s/their successors.

what kind of "press drive" is allowed to go 100 mph on an open public road, pray tell?kastein posted:I just can't get past the look of bustlebacks. They look like a pooping dog. i agree. i think they're ugly as poo poo. like i think the rear end is bad enough on its own, but its forms and angles are different from the front end that it ends up looking like one of those hackjobs where they weld two crashed cars into one.

When you have a nice car with some power, it's every man's god-given right to occasionally take it out on a rural highway or back road and let it stretch its legs. As long as you don't cause a crash the Five O should look the other way.

Darchangel posted:So, like crabs, or gonorrhea? I got thinking, since Olds big blocks and small blocks are usually pretty interchangeable, has anyone ever replaced the 350 diesel in one of those with a gas 455. I couldn’t find a Seville but I did find an 80 Eldorado that had that done.  From a thread on Classic Oldsmobile, owner was told the swap was done by a dealer in the 80s, block is from 68. https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/general-discussion-33/bought-cadillac-olds-455-a-130725/

As long as you don't cause a crash the Five O should look the other way. Safely. With caution. At 0200. One run and done. On roads you know. Maybe. If a McLaren crashes in the woods, and there's no one to hear it, does it make a sound?
