Then don’t. I’m not telling anyone to choose anything. Just saying alternatives have existed for years and electric cars are not the only solution. An “electric car future” based on current technology is a just plain stupid if that’s the only solution (sorry again Elon). I get that the feeling that part of the…

I live in a medium/large midwestern city (4 distinct seasons) Weather is a poor excuse. Proof? Los Angeles, the most idyllic weather for cycling in the U.S., weather is not their problem. Further proof? Minneapolis, a thriving cycling (as transportation) town, weather is not so great to put it mildly. Finally you…

I’m not going to disagree completely, but ground clearance and increased travel are good options to have. The Crosstrek is a great little car, and does not take the place of the Impreza hatch.

wow, I never realized dollars contain dolls and pennies contain peni...ew.

I’ve been holding my tongue for a while because enough people harp on this elsewhere. But a significant portion of the transportation solution already exists. I’m as much as a electric and petrol fan as anyone here, but also realize traffic, energy and environment are real issues:

Just pretend the star I gave you is a negative star.

Hmm, I’m not sure you want to explore all of the techniques used to explore for oil....but since you went there, puppet governments and war? Oh wait, you meant geological techniques, my bad.

The

I disagree, this was the only new vehicle I have ever bought...

Seems like a perfect fit to me.

Hmm, the electrical contractor that I worked for loved to rake the owner over the coals when a mistake was made on the plans or a simple change needed to happen. Suddenly things cost 10 times as much...that wasn’t their game exclusively...but it is the contractor that takes advantage of it.

Veal and who doesn’t like whiskey?

I always wondered why my ghost costume had only one eye hole. I just thought it was a ghost/pirate mashup. Live and learn....

Many good ovens have a Shabbat mode. Just saying’.

That is essentially what terminal velocity means. How fast something can possibly move based on the environmental factors that could slow it down. When dropping something out of a plane it will not accelerate continuously as it falls but hit a point where wind resistance will slow it down. In our case, I was being…

I’m guessing the terminal velocity of my CJ is less than a 100 mph.

Indeed, I completely misread the context. My bad.

Yes, it is.

Yeah, CR isn’t perfect. Never said they were. But in those consumer polls there is some reflection of reality.

Well at least its a specific (if not poorly worded) criticism whereas “garbage” just smacks of youtube forum-level of brand hatred. I’ve have various Jeeps for years, and that is not a hill you want to die on. Love’ em, but quality they are not.
