I got this with Bus Flipper and while it has some issues, boy am I glad I sprung for that bundle. The (very basic) story is you've arrived in your friend's(?, I think, not really established) town where he owns a dilapidated used car dealership. He wants you to run it for him. Go take the truck with the car trailer and get to work.

Our almost new car was delivered (from Goulburn) a couple of hours ago. Husband is sitting in it working out how everything in newfangled cars work.
Our old car, an almost 18 year old Getz, was a very basic manual. This one is a hybrid and has screens and cameras and such like. Husband has been YouTubing in preparation for its arrival.
It's been quite interesting looking for a new car for the past few months. I wanted an EV, husband definitely didn't, so we compromised o…

Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back.

We just drive home by train from visiting friends. During the first hour in the train we were just SO glad that we took the train instead of the car. We were just so tired! Driving by car would have simply been dangerous.
So we just took a nap in the train. - wouldn't have been so cool to do that in the car 😉
As U.S. immigration officials seek to arrest more than a million people this year,
an army of plainclothes law enforcement agents has dispersed across the country.
They arrive in unmarked vehicles while only their eyes peek out from a balaclava.
Their bulletproof vests may identify them as “police” or a “federal agent” -- but often offer no hint as to their agency or division.
They arrest workers atgrocery stores and car washes and detain people near churches.

1/2 "Le sentiment d'être élu est présent, par exemple, dans toute relation amoureuse. Car l'amour, par définition, est un cadeau non mérité ; être aimé sans mérite, c'est même la preuve d'un vrai amour. Si une femme me dit : je t'aime parce que tu es intelligent, parce que tu es honnête, parce que tu m'achètes des cadeaux, parce que tu ne dragues pas, parce que tu fais la vaisselle, je suis déçu ; cet amour a l'air de quelque chose d'intéressé."

Lo! in the orient when the gracious light
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
Serving with looks his sacred majesty;
And having climbed the steep-up heavenly hill,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
Attending on his golden pilgrimage:
But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,
Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day,

I had this one GPX file that passed my cleaner code (which separates bike rides from walks based on speed.) I popped it into a text editor and I realized I must have started a walk and then got in a car and drove for a bit before I stopped the walk.

Before earlier this year, I had a Ford Ranger sitting in my driveway that I used three or four times per year. I ordered collector plates for it (since I don't drive it in the winter anyways and I don't want to have to pay to renew plates) and then my sister's car broke down (while she's still owed money on it) so I gave the truck to her. I hadn't even received the collector plates yet. I found out today that she's driving around with the collector plates on it.
3 years after car-free JFK/Overlook/Middle/MLK was made permanent, the signage for the non-JFK parts of the route is still so bad. No one but us nerds knows a car-free path to the beach even exists!
There should be a big banner on this overpass telling you to turn left then right. Instead there’s a tiny sign no one will see and even if you do it’s unclear (this isn’t “slow streets,” it’s car-free!)

So apparently a very successful, popular entertainer has announced a new thing and it’s somehow going to be pumpkin-related, as in orange. I’m mildly bummed about this only because my car is orange. I like my orange car. It’s easy to see in parking lots, for instance. It stands out amongst all the white and silver and ugly gray cars on the road. But now, against my will, I’ll be assumed to be a fan of this person. I’m not not a fan, but still.

Nothing like trying to rent a car and having the website certificate be expired by two days… When do you think they’ll notice?
Talking to carbrains always be like:
"Train tickets are more expensive than driving a car."
"Because you aren't counting the costs of buying and maintaining a car."
"But everyone has to have a car!"
So from now on, I arbitrarily decree that everyone, obligatorily and without exceptions, has to have an unlimited railway pass. Therefore, traveling by train is free and driving a car is infinitely many times more expensive. Thank you for your attention.

Even at a great “value,” I just can’t trust Tesla not to screw over consumers with bait and switch and last-minute subscription fees.
