Yes crossover drivers, that means you too. Not just the big bro trucks.

I still don't know anybody who gets good 5g service anywhere. It seems like total shit. I know multiple people who have tried 5g home broadband and its slow and intermittent garbage and they sent their equipment back.

I don't know where you are but I'm in Liverpool, UK, only 1.5 miles from the city centre. The centre itself has had good 5G coverage for a while now, but my residential area got it at the end of 2025. Only one network provider, and I need a device with a high gain antenna, but I'm loving it.

Based on what?

Crown Vic has always been full size. Sorry.

You mean cooling a 700lb-ft engine. Which is totally unnecessary. You don't need to do 80mph up the steepest hill in the world while towing 20,000lbs.

Not only do they not need to, they need to actively stop doing that. These are the folks who light brakes & tires on fire, which then spreads to the mountains. There are dozens of spot, brush, and outright wildfires every year from these people.


Time for all of the crossover drivers to admit that they are also part of the problem. They aren't safe just because they are somewhat better than some jacked up bro truck.

The real issue is that the hood on the Sienna is basically the same height as the one on most crossovers, because that's the nature of a vehicle with tall roof (necessary for cargo capacity). The hood/windshield has to ascend quickly to reach that height unless you want the hood to be longer, but a longer hood would negatively impact the ability of the driver to see children directly in front of the vehicle.

A lot of this is also dictated by the safety requirements for vehicle collisions, because a vehicle where the front of the hood is lower than the bumper on the other vehicle (which could be a pickup truck) causes the hood to act as a ramp instead of a crumple zone, and then the occupants get hit in the head by a truck.


Yeah it only affects a few plebs.

Yay twice as much traffic!

I just want tart. Give me a Granny Smith any day. They also make the best pies.

The best cooking apple is a Bramley, which retains both acid and firm texture when cooked. But Granny Smith is a good substitute.

Not really. The odds are way higher that an update will hose your system and data.
