I can clearly remember when 0-60 in 6.6 seconds was a sporty car. Now, your average Honda Accord can do that.

When the secondary purpose of playing a tape was to drown out the sounds of my rattling car, the quality of the tape was fairly irrelevant. I just needed it to be loud.

Maybe even faster: Tested: 2017 Ford Explorer Platinum (caranddriver.com)
You didn't know you are so sporty!
You didn't know you are so sporty!
The article - comparing a '16 Explorer Sport to a '17 Explorer Platinum - is kind of dumb. The '17 model year got an upgrade to the info-tainment system, but they are mechanically identical vehicles. The Platinum is the luxury-trimmed version of the Sport.
The newer Explorers are surprisingly agile for a big box. My '17 is a big step up from my previous '06.

And, like my Dodge, go 80,000 miles on nothing but oil changes every 10,000 miles. A car with 80,000 miles on it used to be considered almost ready to junk.

Our Acura has 130k miles and has only needed tires, brakes and timing. My VW has 85k and has just needed tires and brakes

Not a good thing to wake up to. 48" main. Looks like a total of 3 square blocks got flooded.

My '17 Explorer has 89k. The only thing significant it has needed was a new water pump (a known weakness of the Explorer).

Maybe 6 years ago I was working with the city to replace a storm sewer across my employer's property. The thing was so old it was made out of wood.

That's Steve - an old industry friend of mine. He worked at Singer in the early days, before I did. We chatted a lot and played with all of the new toys whenever he popped in to the shop and I'm pretty sure that our conversations made it in to a least of couple of his articles for Stereophile.
