. . . plus, going Crew Cab only. Some people actwant a truck that will do real truck things, and not just a four-door sedan with an open trunk.

Totally impractical for daily driving but well worth the price for vintage conversation piece.  NP

Not so much a redesign as a misappropriation of an existing nameplate - Mustang Mach-E.

One, it’s great until it breaks, then you need to pull the vehicle out of servce, likely for longer than it takes to swap out a busted mirror.

With disc brake calipers, why are some rotated toward the center of the car and some are rotated toward the bumpers? I’m guessing brake line access is the primary reason, but would location also affect performace, as well?

The primary reason for parking restrictions (including fines) is to generate turnover along the curb, so that all members of the public have a fair shot of getting access to a shared public asset (instead of, say, restaurant employees claiming all of the spots in front of a restaurant, for the duration of their shift).…

. . . . and it’s gone!  NP, obviously.

BMW’s native software in our ‘15 i3 became way less usable when 3G disappeared, earlier this year, and BMW chose notto support a transition to 4G, even for a price to us consumers. Yes, it’s an 8-year-old vehicle, but it’s also precisely why most people prefer AA or Carplay mirroring.

Most deaf people are very good at looking for visual clues, such as flashing lights . . .

Unfortunately, if you don’t have enough situational awareness to realize that the cops are try to get you to pull over, you should NOT be driving. And, while tasing is both “bad” and, given the clarity of 20/20 hindsight, unnecessary, it still beats the alternatives of bullets or a PIT maneuver.

Another metric is that it’s (almost) precisely a quarter mile long . . .

Compared to what new trucks are going for, combined with its “right-to-repair” simplicity, it seems like a fair price.  Yes, it’s a tad high, but I’m guessing that it’s also negotiable, and around $8K would be a great buy.

Meanwhile, the Denver “airport has 30 acres of parking lots with more than 44,255 public parking spaces (that’s more than 23 football fields).”  https://www.9news.com/article/travel/denver-international-airport/fun-facts-about-dia/73-26ec9915-65dd-4764-88bf-08a931add503

While the volume control placement isn’t ideal, most drivers rely on the volume controls on their steering wheel, so if it works well/better for the passenger, it’s fine by me.

It looks like there are three wipers, in front, under the open hood shot.

Counterpoint - many commutes involve stop-and-go traffic where one-handed driving is perfectly fine. I’m far more concerned with distracted, inattentive driving than where drivers are putting their hands on the wheel. Plus, while not applicable, here, manual transmissions require taking one’s hand off the wheel pretty…

The standard Crosstrek is a good choice for crappy Midwestern streets that aren’t all that much smoother than many off-road trails, plus they’re good in the snow. This may be “elevating their game”, but at that level a “real” off-roader (Wrangler) is probably a better choice.

I’m old.  I passed my driving test in 1969, and I last renewed my license a couple of months ago, and I was surprised that I didn’t even have to pass a quick vision test.

Interestingly, yesterday’s Geo Metro is now (just barely) over 50% (by 3 votes).

Alternate take - acquire a utility trailer to haul the messy stuff and focus on a fun-to-drive sedan (with a trailer hitch, naturally). Maybe a used Mustang Mach-E, maybe a used Chevy Volt or a new Chevy Bolt?
