Yeah! For years Toyota's design was hugely misguided and produced the most terrible looking designs. They got it right just recently.
Not sure whether to put this here or somewhere else…
Last week we rented a transporter to do half of our moving house early - basically anything we could do without. On a Saturday. Only place left who has anything was enterprise, so there we were and we even got a free upgrade to a bigger transporter (with a box and lift). Price was reasonable.
Tried booking same again for next Saturday. 2.5x the price despite the fact that everyone still has transporters available. Ended up booking with sixt, because they were only like 1.7x the price of last week. Wtf? Is that Just their algo going “last weekend of the month, transporter price go up” regardless of actual demand? Seems stupid.
Blame landlords and their 'rent is due on the first of the month' bullshitNot sure whether to put this here or somewhere else…

While hilarious and I'm sure the kids had fun, they are terrible with their timing.NSFW language.
This is how we do it in Michigan!
Dude posts a dashcam video of his driving through a specific interchange on the local Reddit sub telling people to slow down because merging at at his interchange is dangerous because people are "speeding".
1) His video was taken at 1AM on a nearly empty highway and he still managed to almost change lanes into someone. Locals are like, "Ha, dude, you should pass through here at 6PM sometimes if you're looking for a deathwish.
2) He lane-changed across multiple lanes without pausing, nearly side-swiping someone who was passing him on the left.
3) he complains about there not being any speed limit signs and that everyone should slow down because of it because everyone it "speeding". The law is that the unposted speed limit of this type of road is 65. Based on the timing of how many road line dashes he passes, he's trying to merge at 45mph.
4) Thankfully there were about 100 comments telling him he needs to take a highway driving refresher course.
