I was just yesterday thinking about how great the breeze would be with a roll-down rear-hatch-window like the GM B Body wagons from the generation prior to the Roadmaster you have shown.

I did a double take thinking it was a minidisc player at first. I still can’t tell what use they’d have.

In the same vein, the Japanese Garden (the Garden of the Phoenix) in Jackson Park is generally not very crowded.

I’m resurrecting the dead by replying to this post, but it’s likely they put it in as a Camry, since the Solara was officially referred to as the ‘Toyota Camry Solara,’ though it’s very rarely actually called that. Of course, it should have never been approved once they showed up to the inspection with it, so hard to…

Everything after the firewall is first gen Mazda CX-5. Or maybe he Tuscon.

This idea has some legs. He could trailer it from city to city fixing something in each spot with his newly developed network of enablers. Would make for a pretty good 'Wrenching Across America' series of posts.

I think the official color name is ‘Swedish Racing Green’

So sad after it took so long to recover from the Fred Durst era red-cap-black-balling.

Since you mentioned it I was curious, and you have to add up (in descending order by votes) some of Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, Utah, Nebraska, West Virginia, Idaho, Montana, both Dakotas, Maine’s 2nd District, Wyoming and Alaska to equal the votes Trump got in California which are all states (or electoral…

I submit the G8 and Solstice as too-little-too-late as a non-BS offerings, but yeah otherwise you’re spot on (I still think the Saturn Sky was worlds ahead of the Solstice in looks, and has certainly aged far better.)

That explains why I was always back there in our B-Body Pontiac Parisienne as a child.

Ironically interior specs are within about an inch or so of eachother. Except the Fiesta gets 37 MPG on the highway, and the Ecosport gets 29, so yeah in size they’re not far (minus the 6 inches taller) but in practicality, the Fiesta is better.

I always think the same thing about the Sonic hatch/sedan. The Sonic sedan is supremely ungainly, and has 14.90 cu ft of trunk space, vs the 19 cu ft for the hatch with the seats up, and 47.70 cu ft with the seats down. Even if the seats fold down on the sedan, the space is much less usable since it isn’t just a huge…

I haven’t shopped at either of those stores (neither are in my area) but in my experience you can have the tare weight on your items measured, then deducted from the overall weight. For my produce bags I don’t bother because they weigh like an ounce each, but the glass containers can get hefty, and if I’m buying…

Let’s take this opportunity to remember the fastest sounding slow bike.

It’s all fun and games until you're detained 18 hours waiting for an open receiving dock.

I’m partial to ‘My other vehicle is a 401k’

Looks like it’s mostly a result of their methodology. They removed anything that was kept less than five years, so the average is naturally going to be north of five. That coupled with removing any models with two standard errors outside of a single month of the mean would give us a fairly narrow set of data.

I’ll be waiting for the Lou Malnati’s-inspired Deep Dish flavor, thanks.

“Raising the standard deduction” was their way of simplifying the tax process for most Americans. The unwritten footnote to their press releases was that you still need to actually go through the process of calculating all of your deductions and credits to figure out if the standard deduction is your best bet.
