Is this what I am supposed to think?:

I think that is one of the absolute flaws of modern spin-offs. A narrative text is confined to its cultural and temporal context. You can re-imagine it, update it, try to view it through its own contextual lens/lenses. But when you try to turn a text into a coherent, linear, history...

It's funny how much import is being placed on canon. I am a huge TOS nerd. I also geeked out to TNG in real time. Remember back when you had to WAIT for a next episode or God forbid a next season? Think Picard in borg make-up saying "resistance is futile." I suppose Game of Thrones did bring...

I went to a wedding yesterday-- The bride and groom walked down an isle lined with flowers-- probably 20 separate small bouquets mixed with roses. After the rings were exchanged outside under a tent, then the ceremony moved inside. No more than 30 minutes later a garbage truck pulls up to the...

A couple things-- "Juneteenth" is such a shit term. I cannot imagine a more poorly named holiday. Maybe I just don't/can't get it culturally. How could ANYONE be happy with that nomenclature? Imagine if there were a day to celebrate Italian Americans mothers and it was called "Mamoni Day."...

I don' have the official estimate yet. The bumper is shot and there is misalignment between the right rear panel and the right rear door.

I was sitting at a stop sign waiting and WHAM rear-ended. Still a brand new car (purchased in April). At least the guy who did it was a gentleman and apologized and immediately got on the phone to his insurance company. He recorded a statement admitting he was at fault. Still sucks. Probably...

YES! And it is so unpredictable. The radio will go dead for about 3 seconds every 2 minutes (when it occurs). I thought it might be a bluetooth/phone connectivity issue. It's not. When it happens (rarely) it is annoying as FUCK! The other issue issue is the front assist warning light. It is...

I don't think so on her-- but evidently it IS a thing! I googled fake freckles Demi Hawks:

Jesus-- spoiler, but a legit question that I cannot figure out: Also, it's too damn long...

Especially if you have always driven a clutch... We're NOT the Tesla auto-drive generation.

The heated steering wheel comes on all by itself, but when you press the button is actually turns on and gets much warmer-- and then when you shut it off, it stays warm regardl;ess. it's like the steering wheel need to be warm for some reason. The radio cuts out every 90 seconds for some odd...

It IS a 20th anniversary edition R in standard. It drives great, but the human interface technology (touch controls everywhere- no knobs or buttons) is very stupid. and it has an "R" :

Used to drive the one on the right. Now I drive the one on the left. So far, I am missing the one on the right quite a bit...

And my radio is possessed. If it is on, it will turn off randmly (and then turn back on randomly). Makes no difference if you are listening to radio (AM/FM) or Sirius or internet radio. If the radio is completely off, it will randomly turn on.

I suppose... seems almost equally stupid. I guess turning down a dial instead is so boomer, right?

Yes. but why?

New one on the left-- old one on the right...

Because it looks and drives great. And I don't live in a climate that allows me to bicycle all year round?!? Especially when it is dark and snowy! Also, the reviews on the car were pretty stellar. But, then again, if you gave me the car to screw around with on a frozen track in Scandinavia for...

I seriously cannot understand the thought process. Don't be a distracted driver with your phone. So let's turn your car into a phone. Was this decided upon by 14 year olds? Before: After: I am so irritated.

Bought a new car. Had to look hard for a standard transmission, it's just what I prefer. The car drives fine, but the cabin technology is repugnant. It is all touchscreen-controlled without knobs. It is the single most distracting, non- intuitive design I could ever imagine for a car. I cannot...

They are lower profile than the 2018/19 but just as easy to use. And it's heated now.

No dude... I am very lucky that I have had a long and prosperous relationship with my VW peeps. And yes, it's a 20th anniversary edition. But man, there are some douchebags out there. Lots of VW dealers upping the price. Happy to out one of them below (don't ever give him/them your business):

Sounds great!
