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

    What vehicle do you drive?

    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...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    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" :

    What vehicle do you drive?

    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...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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?

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    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):

    Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches

    As you know, I like to consume media... I had to bail after episode 3- I found myself drifting and not having a clue where this was going. Alexandra D'darrio is pretty hot, but her character is kind of dopey in this. Maybe I'll try it again another time.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Coming out of the supermarket and finding a shopping cart up against your door (with a scratch) and a dozen or so carts scattered within 50 feet of the cart return. I know Aldi is low-rent (but I do kind of love the store!). They have the right idea-- put a fucking quarter in to get your...

    Evil

    I am with you-- the show gets better the more wacky it gets. And it gets really off the rails at times. Most shows (eg., "Mindhunter,") just get worse as they struggle to move forward and get crazier. Not this show. The more it pushes the boundaries the more fun it gets. Plus, Katja Herbers is...

    Wow-- brings back memories. He did this as one of his encores at the Capitol theater in Passaic... Why don't people write weird, gory, catchy songs anymore?

    House of the Dragon

    Dude -- they both took massive shits all over the original IP... They both sucked. I hate even having this argument because it is like arguing about how one would rather die by evisceration or being drawn and quartered. Let's have a big discussion on that as it we were Socrates! However (ugh...

    Underrated/Overrated Video Games

    It is a fun game, but it is just too long. It wears out it's welcome earlier than it's conclusion (although the ever-credit level was a surprise).

    House of the Dragon

    I watched them both simultaneously as they were released. I cannot disagree more. Let's face it-- these two shows probably represent MONSTERS of television with regard to production costs, etc. They both disappointed. But HoTD is just horrible trash. RoP sucked too, but it was more pathetic...

    Underrated/Overrated Video Games

    Under-rated: Blood Rayne - great game and good mechanics Under-rated: Fatal Frame - I thought it was totally unique and really creepy/scary Over-rated: Super Mario Odyssey

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    Yup-- that bugged me too. One, I thought the presence of the military was for some terra-forming new-Earth crap. But no, it was for whale brain pituitary fountain of youth juice. That's just weak. So much cool technology but no way to synthesize organic compounds, huh? Even though they can...

    OMG- still talking about it with the crew. The Cornell trained software engineer said; "what do you care about the membrane-thinly-veiled metaphors for native Americans, fossil fuels and whales?

    Wow... Why did I subject myself to that? And in 3D too. Here's the game we played after the movie-- sum up the Avatar 2 in 10 seconds or less: the winner: "Every James Cameron movie rolled into one plus Star Trek IV and kiddie porn." runner up: "The prequel to Avatar 3" honorable mention...

    His Dark Materials

    Woah-- Only got 2 more episodes released this week on HBO here. And man did they take a nose-dive. I know the source material and it was incomprehensible. I hope they don't end on 2 more shitty episodes. 5 and 6 were not good.
