  • Toyota does a special color every year for their TRD lineup.

    If you’re willing to count the black roof combo option the Corolla has 15 color options or 8 full color options. Red and blue are offered. Just no yellow or orange.

    People just don’t want to wait for a special car and want whatever is on the dealer lot. So they make as many of those in boring colors.


  • Toyota is famous for their wildly colorful cars in the TRD lineup. Magma Orange, nori green, and that like Smurf blue color.

    Ford has a vibrant blue as well. GM doesn’t deviate from bare colors much, but Ram/dodge will as well. Patriot blue, fire engine red, delmonico red, and plum crazy.

    Porsche has full paint to sample.

    Mercedes is basically famous for black cars so…

    Anyways, cars have colorful variants, just the consumer base either isn’t willing to wait for the order, or they don’t want to pay the extra 500-900 dollars most non-standard paint color costs.

    Also, a lot of manufacturers offer up tri coat white metallic which obviously looks boring from afar, but up close is very vibrant.


  • Happy to help! If you ever want to be irrationally angry at either the worlds dumbest engineer, or finance people somehow having a say in design; go look up oil changes on Ram trucks. They’re hilariously awful. Filters are placed facing down over things like steering gear boxes or right over the front differential. So it just gets over everything. In the case of the 2500 you have to go through the front bumper on the power wagons to get the oil filter out.

    But their trans are solid. It’s also the only good part in Rams, BMWs and Audi. A real miracle.






  • Not to mention that AirBnB doesn’t give me “points” to stay nights for free. So if you travel for work especially you basically squander your money away. AirBnB only makes sense if you’re a group of people and even then my last trip with them ended up being one where I regretted just not paying for me and my friends to stay in individual hotel rooms because it would have been cheaper and more convenient for parking and amenities.







  • Never said those other things aren’t what helped get us here. That’s why I gave the broader number of trillions and not just billions.

    Also, you’re calling me a MAGA when you’re the one actively defending a trump policy and decision… I’ve got two years of profile history that shows I’m not MAGA, you’ve been on here 5 days.

    When you give out “free” money whether to people or to corporations and you don’t continue it and only do it as a one time you effectively create inflation. Lots of people NEEDED money during the pandemic, and I’m not against that. It’s the culmination of multiple government hand outs to people and corporations with no active thought put into what they’re trying to do that creates a loaded system.

    It’s a fucking comment thread my dude. I’m not diving in with whole ass articles and a research paper just to make some fucking thread noob happy because he think I’m someone I’m not.






  • It HAD to go before a vote in Cali. We didn’t have a choice politically since our independent election map commission is enshrined into the state constitution. In Texas they don’t have anything remotely enshrined into their constitution so for us here in Cali we had to put it to the people and even then it’s sorta weak since it has an exact end date in 2030. It’s only here for one cycle before it falls off and goes back. Which could be dangerous if the other states don’t stop gerrymandering.

    That or we’ll just leave next time.
