Part of me thinks “That’s one ugly car..”

I have a 2013 Titanium hatch 5spd. Hard to scoff at heated leather seats (a first for me). And because the auto transmission gave it such a bad rep, it’s affordable. On the other hand, I’m told a coolant exchange is a PITA, which is coming this summer..

Recently picked up a 2013 Focus Titanium hatch (5-spd) for similar purposes. It’s a great car and nice to drive (heated leather seats help). Great on fuel, right at the limit on your length requirements, roof rack compatible, and mine has a hitch installed. It’s not as great in cargo hauling as we’d hoped though; the…

At 6'3, I’ve slept in a small Ford Transit in Iceland in ~April for ~10 days, alternating between chilly & stormy and chilly & clear. I would recommend avoiding the cold and the stormy. But if it’s cold out, I found my head (with a hat) at the tail and the feet in the middle made a HUGE improvement over this instagram…

We ended up buying a Focus recently, but tested a ~2010 Subaru Outback wagon with a 6-speed. That was a very pleasant place to be.

If we swapped Warren & Biden, wouldn’t we be arguing that Biden was avoiding top-tier challengers and getting off easy?

Well that’s an exciting list of models...

Neutral: Yes please, along with a 3rd pedal. 

Ah, I mean something like this, where the driver is able to see ‘through’ the a-pillar using camera/screen, mirrors, or similar.

Considering the wealth of LCD instrument clusters, I’m surprised we haven’t used LCDs to create ‘transparent’ pillars yet.. 

Beware the driver’s side A-pillar; it’s wider than you might think from their perspective..

Love it. I support the second item in particular (but strongly approve of all). Saving up 50% shows the lender you have discipline, but it also shows yourself. It’s easy to figure everything out on paper, but I personally don’t trust myself anymore until I’ve walked the walk for a substantial amount of time.

You can do any of these things and probably be fine. You probably can’t do all of these things and be fine. ($189 a month on lattes is legit crazy...)

Will they be offering a NO TIRES mode as well?

I’d be fine with her as prez, and would vote for her if she gets the nomination (though I prefer Warren today). But I do love her tenacity and knowledge (and many other positive descriptors) as a Dem senator investigating people. We need that in all Congress..

I’ll agree with the masses, the car deserves more love. But something needs to change. Fuel mileage wasn’t impressive, and it was expensive. I’ve no idea how flexible those numbers are while keeping the safety factor, but maybe once EVs are more established, this will help at least fuel economy side of things.

I imagine we’ve lost one Einstein and one Dorsey via these scooters. So maybe it balances out..

I don’t much care for the buzzwords; it’s an immediate red flag. And I don’t see the specialty of an un-tucked shirt over a tucked shirt when they’re properly sized. But hell if I know what is properly sized. I have an idea, but I also enjoy my cargo shorts (much to the gf’s dismay, until I need to carry her charging…

I have zero problems with chalking tires or red light cameras, but I can see the ‘slippery slope’ argument. Ehh..
