My wife’s 2022 Kia Niro Plugin Hybrid has the backup beep, and it is insanely loud.

I hope the trunk space has improved. I ended up going with a ‘22 KIA Niro PHEV, as the overall interior spacing/room was better including a more usable trunk area. 

No one asked, but I love the arrows on my wife’s Kia Niro PHEV

In Maine, it’s all about the “beater”, or the shit box, that you pay less than $500 for

A Hondini in NH:

They have their empty Mountain Dew bottles, right? Or am I missing something here?

At the same time, the man is human and acknowledging that some things are inescapable, even our past times that we like to think of as “pure”, when they are clearly not.

Yeah, I’m not sure why they didn’t actually build it as separable - a bike and a trailer/boat. 

I love the armrests in my Ridgeline, and the center console is so much easier to get into than the giant center pad that has to lift up 90 degrees. And then worse, reaching into the giant middle console of other trucks, you have to awkwardly contort to make it happen.

The fact that we do too much of it. It’s barely enjoyable any more; most of our driving is in response to the obligatory slog of work.  

I just bought the Ridgeline, and I love it. I’ve been a Subaru guy for decades at this point, but treating my Outback like a truck and hauling stuff was getting more and more tricky. The Ridgeline rides the line between Baja and full size truck nicely with damn good gas mileage (about the same if not slightly better…

I recently  bought a Ridgeline, coming from Subaru, and was really disappointed in Honda’s conservative color selection for anything outside of their hot hatch category.
