Agreed, the only things I hate about it are non-defeatable parking sensors unless you put it in park [absolutely sucks in a drive thru] and that the climate controls are inexplicably buried 2 menus deep on a fucking touchscreen.  There is also a bright green “P>>>” and “BSM” for parking sensors and blind spot monitor…

Crosstreks in Colorado... woof.

If I can get up to highway speed by the end of a slightly uphill entrance ramp, it’s ok. If I’m sweating getting in front of the semi about to flatten me, it’s underpowered. Everything else is perception.

Yeah, but us Americans won’t fall for that again.

I sat in the back seat of one when we went river tubing.

More likely this has already happened and one of the reasons, though unstated, for dropping the charges. If victims are already compensated probably much bigger fish to fry than this clown. Risk is always that someone will eventually get severely injured or die. 

It’s even more complicated. The $600 per week ended many, many months ago for most people. The replacement was $300 a week which not every is getting even if qualified and only started back after a long gap.

Exactly. Upgrade things to make safer/more reliable, and keep the originals to go back to stock if the next owner wants it. I put seatbelts, radial tires, electronic ignition, and an alternator in my 60 Impala so I can drive it reliably and a bit more safely but it can all be put back to stock.

I agree it’s not a true cab over, but if you look at the Canoo passenger van thing, it doesn’t really have a dashboard... not in the traditional sense at least. We’ll see it they go a similar route with the pickup and if either car makes it to production that way (or at all). There is, at least, the intention to make…

Here’s Papyrus for ya! TBH it’s actually not bad - it has a rough around the edges look

“You underestimate how many people live here and how little I care for their lives” - Josef Stalin, 1942

This certainly looks cool.. but (as someone already mentioned) it looks like it’s less of a cabover and more of a 3' dashboard greenhouse for some reason.

I’m in the first set now. The only time I’ve ever used a charger other than my 120v home one was to get the primo parking spot at the farmer’s market.

Cell phone tether would be the best and I hope one day car manufacturers allow that instead of charging for their own service.

I’ve got what I think was pretty good insurance. They offered me about $3,600, less my $500 deductible. By all accounts this seems like a fair valuation given the milage, even though comparable vehicles with similar milage are going for about twice that. But they told me that’s not really how valuation is…

Exactly - basically, Hertz had spent a ton of money on buying DTAG, consolidating myriad systems, and updating the fleet, leading up to the pandemic. Some of it was correcting for the questionable decisions of prior regimes, but a lot of the problem was just bad timing as opposed to being doomed to fail.

Not obviously.  It is quite common in California for farmers and farm labor companies to use as few vehicles as possible to move as many bodies as possible to the fields, regardless of the legal status of those in the cars.  Not for themselves, mind you.  Just the day laborers.  This could just as easily be that.

I have no problems getting in and out of regular cars like Toyota Corollas and the like (Miatas? not so much). But I’d rather just step in like SUVs (well, compact SUVs) allow. It’s much more natural and comfortable.

I’m 46 years old, I have an E46 and E90, both manuals and one is a wagon. My daily driver is a company provided 2020 Toyota Camry, a freaking spaceship compared to my old bimmers.
