For us rural folks, places like Costco and Sam's clubs are too far away to make economic sense. Would you be a member if you had to drive 87 miles one way to arrive at your nearest Costco? At what distance does becoming a member become viable?

That pic is really awful, btw. I mean, the pink armrest on the orange chair totally ruins the entire Feng shui, otherwise, ...ok.

Well, Mike, there is only so much purple paint to go around 😉 Which reminds me, did you know when the crew was filming that Barbie movie, they searched High and Low for enough Pink paint -- they were running out of that particular shade.

GM's Oldsmobile concept did it -- look on the right side of the yoke, two rocker switches for temperature and fan. I suppose that would work, but I think climate controls probably should be on the dash so your passenger can fight you because they are too cold. (then again, with those rocker...

In defense of silver, it is the best color for hiding dirt. But I agree this generation loves monochrome. When we redid the kitchen, guess what colors were by far the most popular. Grays are the new beige. Then again, I lived through the entire decade of the 1970s, and I ask you, do we...

So there has been some discussion about car makers starting to add physical buttons back into their vehicles - for lots of reasons, such as customer demand and less driver distraction compared to screen menus. Which got me thinking about where Rivian might put these buttons. I think buttons...

Wonder if they are counting shades of Tan as Brown -- if so, then I still see lots of tan/pewter vehicles around. Someone on here really wants copper for some reason. That would also be a brown, I am guessing.

Thanks for your post, Mike. I know it's difficult to change viewpoints past a certain point. Like the monkeys we are, sometimes we hold our fists tight around the sugar we love, even as we see death approaching to club us to oblivion, refusing to let go and escape. I gather the root cause of...

What I know is that scientists for decades have been figuratively shouting, and sounding the alarm about climate change and the need to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Among uncounted news articles about how Big Oil launched an unprecedented PR blitz, Frontline reported that Exxon ignored it's...

It could be the R5-D4 color scheme as seen in the original Star Wars Or, more likely, I'm guessing the R2-D1 as seen in the Phantom Menance

My garage floor is 70 years old and had some cracks that I sealed. What I assume is the original paint is well worn in places, and the concrete under the area where vehicles are parked is showing signs of weathering from where water and salt have dripped from winter parking. Luckily, there are...

This evening I completed Rivian's survey to new owners and there was a set of questions regarding the Voice Assistant feature. I wrote that I avoided using it due to privacy concerns. That seems to be a common concern based on the fact that the next page of questions dealt with privacy...

And here I was using the term ironically; should have put it in "quotes." But then, I read the referenced article, and lo and behold, there seems there is an element of virtue signaling in using the Rivian, along with a bit of advocacy and soft influence to encourage adoption in the ambulance...

I think what I find upsetting about all this is how it points to Big Oil (and other fat cats in general) manipulating and controlling our allegedly democratic government. I am not saying (necessarily) that Big Oil or Russia is in control of our fiscal, domestic or foreign policy, but it turns...

Hmmmm. Wonder what's behind this? Product placement? Virtue Signaling? It's obviously not reflecting reality. Wonder if they are going to do some dramatic story about running out of charge in an emergency. Also, where is the cool flashing light bar on top?!?

I have a 2026 R1T dual max, picked it up early August, and really have not had any real issues so far. Here is a thread I wrote shortly after I got it. Some of my concerns were answered in the thread. This is a pretty good community and lots of folks here can answer your questions. I have...

I was looking at the tiles that allow water and dirt to fall through, but was wondering how well tool chests and other smaller wheeled cabinets and things would roll across them. Not sure how big the gaps and ridges are on those types of tiles.

Been thinking about installing some of those polypro garage tiles in my garage, but thought I'd check the community to see if anyone else had done so and what their experience was like. How do they hold up under the weight of an EV? Any regrets or things you'd do differently next time? Thanks!

Blume has a position HR folks call a "widow maker." If they oust Blume, who is going to do better? Also, has any western company, after selling its soul to the CCP, suddenly found itself awash in riches and success? More often, it seems the Chinese insist on technology transfer, local...

I can understand how, being software focused, it might make sense to denote the hardware/software configurations in generations, as those are significant developments. But in the larger context of the automotive world, generations of models take into account the body styling, suspension...
