Near the start of COVID lockdowns, I got married, after dating a Canadian for 10 years. Consequently, until our application to import her completes, I’ve been driving up to Canada about every other month. I have many border crossing stories.

Regardless of the comments ripping on pricing, other CUV ish insults, or whatever - I’ve seen about a dozen of these in my midwestern neighborhood already. They’re selling.

I console myself knowing my 4Runner is worth about 6k USD more at the moment than I bought it for new, with 16,000 mi on it.

Also... when am I…

The initial article is about expected from the author. Your reply is excellent. Thank you.

Is Japonik just reddit now? But a few days late?

I wish they had a slightly higher top speed - maybe 100 and 30-40% more range. That would fit into an amazing commuter but right now it’s nothing but a 12k toy that you can’t even use for that long before it needs recharging.

Like 35 mi, I would guess, based on other Zero FXs.

Has no one used a Thermocell before? They’re expensive with all the mats, but they work. Eg. camping a couple times already and with them on, nothing hits except for some common house flies. With them off, we get no seeums, mosquitos, other little flying things.... its a dramatic and obvious difference. Camping right…

Did not read or click through slide show. End slide show articles - they’re useless and kinda fucking irritating.

loved to hate*

And the fucking slide shows. I’m inclined to adamantly disagree with the usage of slideshow blog posts more than any other issues.

That is correct.

It definitely was. in university, we photoshopped the most desired parking lot permits and used them for 4 years without issues. boom, free parking. just use fight club rules.

Depends on the game being played on the console. I’ve adopted back to using a 27in 4k monitor instead of my 72in TV because it makes it easier to game. When you’re playing FPS or competitive multi-player games, it’s worth it. When you’re playing single player or co-op games... couch life is the best.

The base of my current GTI was around 24k and 33k loaded. Golf R was only 37-28k in 2013 brand new MSRP. 60k... I think I’ll buy an M4 or get a used RS3 for 50k ish. You’re right... thats a lot of money.

I’ve had 3 different hatchbacks over the last 10 years and it has been such a comfortable relief to daily my Tacoma and relegate the GTI to track-only status. More space, easier to drive, and much less hassle than the GTI here in the midwest. Yes, hatchbacks hold a lot of things. This holds more, more easily and with…

Living in Ohio and traveling frequently to Montreal to visit my now-wife, I hit occasional inclement weather during the 9-10 hour drive. One winter that really sticks out I was driving a 2003 Camry with winter tires in white out conditions in northern NY, toward the border thats past Fort Drum in the 10,000 Island…

4Runner is mostly a soccer mom vehicle. I say this owning a lifted one, and having nothing but middle aged women love my cute car.

I disagree with you whole heartedly. But look into the convertible G-Wagons since that seems to be up your alley...

The reason I hate the new layout is because it destroys the blog format and makes it into something you have to:

This whole article is pearl clutching.
