Some Dater news

$3.89? Shit, where does he live? Gas prices are creeping up towards $3 in Boulder, and gas is always more expensive here because this city is full of rich yuppies who have too much money to care how much gas costs. Go to the next town over and you'll pay $2.80 or less. If you know where to go, you could be paying significantly less than that.

Maybe don't buy pizzas that cost 28 dollars then

Is that $3.89 for a US gallon? Boo f***ing hoo, we are paying more than double that in Finland. 1.97€ per litre today. Though I guess it hurts more because of the type of cars you guys have over there, big trucks with big engines.

We’re also far more reliant on cars for travel than Europeans.

I feel like this is kind of a meme. Europeans think we drive big ol lifted trucks all the time where really we drive crossovers. Where Americans think Europeans drive tiny diesel hatchbacks, where they really drive crossovers. Yeah both exist, but the largest segments are crossovers and SUVs my a good margin.

After living with an EV for 6 years and a plug in for a few prior to that… I can imagine driving a gas or diesel car daily anymore. Just such a pain. Fun cars… sure. Towing, absolutely needed still. Daily… it sounds like such a burden at this point. Filling up, maintenance, waiting for it to get warm… etc. I absolutely dread having to use my truck and my other cars barely get 2k miles a year.

Funnily enough, it would be a very accurate stereotype about Canada outside the big cities and 90% of them (without company decals) will be pavement princesses. From the amount of people driving them who can’t seem to see pedestrians (in crosswalks with walk lights) until they’re right on top of them when turning left, I’m convinced they either have terrible sight lines where people can disappear behind the pillar for way too long or there is a law that you must remove your brain the moment you step in one (like Costco)

It’s 1.83/L here and something like 1.68/L back home so even 3.89/gallon (which is about 1.40/L) would be lovely

The more rural you get in the US, the more trucks you’ll see for sure. Even where I’m at (pretty rural) you see more CRVs and RAV4 sorts of cars than F250s.

Lately my truck has gotten a workout, but in the prior 3 years, I think I put less than 1500 miles on it.

Surprisingly smart move by the league. As much as Mack absolutely should be one of the players, given how much he dislikes media attention (except from Biz), kind of hope they just leave the guy alone

 

[expatriatedtexan]

God, I hope all 10-12 players are from the Coyotes.

You’re not wrong Re crossovers, but the top 3 selling vehicles in 2023 were the F150, Silverado and Ram (in that order), all full size trucks.

I would assume the players would have to agree to do it and wouldn't just be forced into.


If Mack agreed to do it I think it'd be cool to see some behind the scenes of just how much goes into his season and being the athlete that he is.

If he agreed then yes that would be super interesting. He more or less told that podcaster from Halifax he seems to be friends with that when Quest for the Cup was filming they intentionally made sure they talked about everything they wanted and needed to in the window before the film crew entered the room. Wouldn’t put it past the NHL to not give guys the choice

Pickup trucks are so f***ing big these days, like WTF? Unless you work on a farm or something it's ridiculous to use those as a daily driver. Every time I walk past one in a parking lot I'm stunned by the size of these beasts.

99% of people who drive them don't need and will never need a car that big.

Crossovers are Americans’ favorite type of passenger vehicle.

And most of them drive like assholes.

There is no chance MacKinnon is part of this.

Now Makar? I can see the league trying to pressure the Avs to get him on board.

Sounds like he's announcing to everyone that he's gonna live in a van down by the river before someone asks him "hey, are you living in a van down by the river?"

I have never heard anyone rant about how much worse modern trucks are than the old redneck cousin who still runs his farm in his 70s. Of course this is a guy who once went on the funniest rant of my life about wanting to cut the pony tails off bikers. That man will be dead before he gives up his 90s era truck for a new one

Is it a Ford Ranger? Those things never break

It’s either that or a Tacoma. Know a few people with late 90s/early 00s trucks and they’re all Rangers and Tacomas (but I can’t keep straight who has which one) except for the one guy who will only drive Chevy’s
