I like working on Subarus for that reason, but they are still statistically more expensive for maintenance and repairs than Toyotas on average. (Not for me though, I do everything but bodywork on my cars).

That said, the new Prius and GR cars from Toyota (who also has a big stake in Subaru) are really attractive. Also, the E-CVTs in Toyota and Subaru hybrids are really nice and low wear designs. The non-e Subaru CVTs haunt my nightmares. I have a crosstrek CVT with 133k miles on it and tightly crossed fingers…

Roller blades had four wheels though.

I vote for Threelies.

For people outside CA it’s almost always Southern California. Occasionally SoCal is used, but usually in really informal settings only.

But as someone from Detroit. South Detroit is said all the time, in that fucking Journey song. Even though all that’s south of Downtown Detroit is river (and then Windsor Canada).

I agree that size needs to come down. But in many parts of the US, the commute is a little too long for the small EVs with the current battery and charging technology.

I hope we get there though. Grew up in the 80s and miss the small, efficient, hot hatch world we had then.

Unless it’s tin whiskers from the early lead free solder…

I fear that shit way more than I was ever worried about y2k bugs.

It’s 5 years before the Fit came out, so I guess. It was ahead of its time a little…

The problem is he only thinks about himself for EVERYTHING.

And he also knew he had stacked the courts. Which probably made him feel more confident. And it so far is working out.

Fuck I hate this country sometimes.

Humans made this for the auto shows. It got drastically revised before production, but was still a pretty rad looking van at the time.

And the Previa mimicked a lot of this design later too!

They would have, but he was booked in a porno that week.

And until I moved away and had a kid (not that we can’t still do date night, but I lived on the red and green lines for 14 years and walked home so many goddamn times.

He doesn’t have to declare anything. It just has to be an official duty, have Seal Team 6 deliver the loan forgiveness letters in bulk. Since the Department of Education is under the executive branch, do it’s fine according to the morons on the Supreme Court.

I’m a straight white married dad and I’m not afraid for me. But I have LGBT relatives who I absolutely fear would be at the very least more discriminated against, not by trump directly, but by the fucking douchbag Christian right who think they’ll be running the place.

The problem with Cheeto Mussolini is that he’s only worried about his own outcome, and if it doesn’t affect him, he’ll let whichever group he owes the most do whatever they want. And they have a plan this time since last time he wasn’t supposed to win either.
