I will always love the bug-eye lights on the 2003 Subaru Impreza/WRX. So much going on under that smooth housing. Also, if you held the switch for the brights just so, you could get brights and fogs on at the same time, which was awesome on back roads.
Much like gas stations... which is mainly a problem of quantity. And since charging stations don’t need to be manned, it’s a lot easier to build more of them. Totally get what you are saying though- we are transitioning and it’s gonna take a while for everything to just work like it did. I’m just impressed at the…
Just watched Mr Regular’s review of the Hyundai Ioniq5 and I gotta say, I think EVs as just normal cars has arrived. 20 minutes to charge? for long-ass drives that’s 100% fine by me. Just make sure that charger is near an good place for lunch. My girlfriend started looking at them and started doing the math and…
Finding a place to put a 4 bike hitch rack sucks. Installing and uninstalling it sucks even worse :)
Ditto, Outback with a hitch mounted single... But honestly, I kinda get why the big hitch racks stay on- moving a 70 pound rack suuuuuuucks.
The hierarchy is
One-Up (The king of fancy racks. plus, they’re local)
Kuat
Saris (also local, also makes the best inexpensive 4 bike rack)
Yakima/Thule- usually on expensive cars,…
No real car Culture in my town per say, but there is a predilection for Subaru Crosstreks and Outbacks like there is in any liberal city where snow and ice is a given.
Every t-bucket I’ve ever seen was an attempt to build a drag racer for the street- the giant cartoonish back tires, the tiny little front tires, the shitty brakes, the big engine... It’s a vehicle that has no business at all on the street. But since they’re mainly driven by old white boomers trying to relive “American…
Yup. 100%
Hats aren’t a solution for long hair.
I’d argue that the death of the convertible is a symptom of 1: cars costing too much and 2: because cars cost so much, the cars you buy have to be extremely functional. Basically, high car prices mixed with the fact that in most of the US, you pretty much have to own a car to get around make it difficult for the…
Most of it. Or honestly, all of it.
Don’t worry- I am not implying that you, Stewbacca, secretly want to drive a Camry. But you are straying dangerously close to “methinks he doth protest too much” territory :).
The opinions of others. If you spend too much time listening to what others KNOW a car has to have, you end up just getting things you don’t really want.
You may just need to try active cruise on another car- it’s super smooth on my subaru. Also I can turn off the lane departure warnings and lane departure.
That’s a big deal for Hertz. Really big. Mega even. It’s a MegaHertz deal.
They owe Demolition Man royalties on this. Though to be fair the car they used was a GM prototype.
I have tried like 3 times to describe how much this level of excess makes me feel and so far I’ve come up with a range from “I think I’ll be happy when the eventual workers rebellion happens and puts our entitled ruling class up against a wall,” to “It’s like looking at weird european porn where everything just seems…
Yeah, she’s powerless. But what she symbolizes to a LOT of people is pretty awful. She symbolized the theft of lands and treasures, the wholesale looting of cultures, the exploitation of so many people who, because they weren’t English, didn’t count as human. You can be powerless and still be a symbol of oppression.
If she’d shot him and claimed stand your ground she could have... no, wait, that law only works for white men.
A few minutes later, a couple of dudes on four-stroke dirtbikes went tearing by, braaaping exhausts echoing off the birch trees and absolutely shattering the calm. Moments like that can make even the most ardent internal combustion fans realize that maybe it’s time for a change.
