I don't really understand the value of Consumer Reports or other agencies reporting on new vehicles. They all seem nice when they just left the factory. I want to know how it is at 50 and 100k.

What does it mean? Wiki gave no explanation.
Welcome to downtown Crumstown...

In its defense, there is one nice chapel on a side street, a nice bar and grill, and a nice conservation club. And some nice homes. However, until recently, many of those vacant lots had abandoned buildings, a car on jacks that split wood, and that red Expedition hadn't moved in 10 years, until a few months ago. Code enforcement made them mow.

you know how when you want to read something at night, and you have to get closer to the table lamp? Yeah. That's due to your cataracts

I don't have cataracts (yet), but I'm so far resisting the notion of bifocals. In brighter light I don't have trouble reading, but in dim light I don't get to take advantage of the pinhole camera effect of contracted pupils (obviously not entirely a pinhole but focusing is considerably easier with contracted iris than expanded) and so can't read so well.

I have bifocals but don't really need them for closeup so it's easier to take the darned things off.
That's how I crunched my bumper last year; trying to go back and forth between the mirrors and backup camera.

I dunno. The place looks pretty crummy to me! 😁

Headlights are certainly bright and many people are clueless about high beams.
The bigger issue is how bright ..and quanta of ..lights the cops use on patrol cars. Its blinding in many cases and causes "Moth Syndrome" where cars crash into something..in many cases the patrol car itself , because they are blinded by the lights.
