I’ve been hearing it referred to as Busch Latte for maybe the last six months or so, both where I live (Missouri) and in Michigan where I frequently visit family. 

Steak ‘n Shake should to do away with the server model. I’m not sure what they pay servers, but there’s no way they are getting tipped well with that $4 menu.

Ask VW Golf Sportwagen/Alltrack owners with panoramic sunroof leaks about Mexico build quality. 

What’s Panera?

The only reason I’ve heard of Onaway is because of the “Brewbakers of Onaway” TV commercials that sometimes run on channels 7&4 and 9&10 in the Northern Lower Peninsula.

You know, just picking out some wine at 2:30 on a work day. Fuck this guy.

I’ve never understood why someone would buy a Maxima, when for Maxima money you can get an Infiniti with rear-or all-wheel drive and also not a CVT. Assuming said person is some sort of Nissan loyalist (why?).

Some Yooper will snatch it up and it’ll become a dedicated beer run machine for deer camp until it succumbs to a sad slow rusty death. 

VW started penny-pinching with the 2018 MY. They dropped things like the under-seat drawer, felt lining in the glove box, and on the S trim no satellite radio. I imagine there’s other things VW cut out too. I’m glad I got mine when I did (‘17 Alltrack S manual).  

VW did zero marketing and also throw in the leaking panoramic sunroof problem that they just couldn’t seem to figure out. I love my Alltrack S 6MT, but I’m glad it’s not an SE/SEL.

QuikTrip is offering a free hot dog today on the QT app. 

One thing it gets wrong - head room is shit. That’s pretty much a Toyota problem in general though. 

My first car was an ‘85 with TBI as well. Baby blue with a white vinyl roof. She was a cold-blooded bitch in the winter. Seeing one of these was how you knew it was an ‘86 or newer. I had multi-port envy, haha.

Or do that to the Corolla wagon that we don’t get here.

Reminds me of the Ozarks in Missouri. Beautiful area, but it’s chock full of morons. 

Came here to say this, beat me to it!

That would be a huge improvement around here. I’ve never seen so many creepy-ass looking old Chevy/GMC/Ford/Dodge conversion vans selling ice cream as I do in the St. Louis area.

St. Louis Bread Co. priced themselves out of my lunch rotation years ago. It’s a hard no for dinner as well. 

Universal Basic Income will have to become a thing or bring on dystopian nightmare.

Also, the bathroom situation is less than ideal. You can either try the port-a-potties maintained by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources or just crapping in the woods. Given the reputation of Michigan public services, both are equally palatable.
