“Obviously, letting kids drive a bus filled with students isn’t a smart move…”

No, we didn’t. The majority of voters chose his opponent. It’s how the Electoral College works.

“The Crosstrek isn’t a race car and treating it like so is sorta silly.

I am not a dog person. I’ve never owned one, and probably never will.

Anecdotal, I admit, but based on my experience with Renaults, it’s not a bad idea. The ones I drove had a tendency to shed bits at random. The windshield falling out while driving it wouldn’t surprise me.

My parents’ ’61 VW Beetle. They bought it used for a second car in about ’65, I think. I was in grade school and thought it was the coolest thing ever. It looked funny and sounded funny. I don’t mean “odd” funny, but fun funny. Engine in the back, heater control on the floor between the front seats, the fuel reserve…

But it looks better than the rock chips and scrapes that will show up after driving it for a year or so.

At the risk of jumping on the “always the answer” bandwagon:

1st gen ’Cuda is best ’Cuda.

iPhones are fuel injected?

I don’t golf. I want a cheeseburger droned to me when I’m stuck in traffic. Gimme something I can use.

I didn’t know that. I know little about off-roading, but just looking at the photo of the forward-facing snorkel seemed kinda wrong to me. I feel vindicated, even if I was “right” only by accident. 

Danke für das Teilen dieser wundervollen Geschichte!

Me, too. When my parents bought a Beetle in ‘65, one of the first things I did was climb back there. I loved that car.
