Try 99, there are at least a few more places to stop and look at all the signs bitching about water use restrictions.

Interstate 80, Nebraska to Wyoming. Fuuuuuuuuck that noise. The only thing worse than that is any *other* route across the plains states.

It took me almost 43 years to realize that my own mother wasn’t what I kept trying to tell myself she was. She wasn’t exactly toxic, but she genuinely never seemed interested in offering me any kind of security or support. She was there for a period of time to get me through a couple years of college, but every time…

Depression *can* actually be fatal, it leads to stresses on the heart and other things that can shorten a lifespan.

This case? Yeah. I don’t think it’s something to necessarily be “celebrated” like this though. But a lot of the others taking place right now? They’re terrible.

No, I’m saying he’s one of the few I know of that’s pro-deportation, and that most people I know are against it in these recent cases. (All for deporting people who commit other crimes, but not for otherwise law-abiding people) I could have worded that more clearly, sorry. Considering the racist once told me he didn’t…

Serious depression and a lack of credentials that look good on a flyer. Sadly.

I’m an American, and I can’t say I support this. Few of the Americans I know support it either, and at least one of them is outright racist. (like, one Bed Bath and Beyond trip away from white sheet racist)

My first car was the NA model of this, and I miss it to this day even though it had already been thoroughly beater-ized before I got my hands on it.

I’m one of those mutant “An automatic is just fine” people, but I definitely agree with everything you just said. You can have fun with just about any car that at least *attempts* to let you and even some that really, really don’t want you to. I have more fun in my ‘84 Dodge Van than I think most people do with…

This is something I think a lot of people here just don’t realize, you can have fun driving all sorts of different cars. There are just different types of fun to be had. Me, I’m a “Give me four doors with a bunch of weight and throw some horses at the rear axle.” kind of guy sometimes.

I had a 2013 Lacrosse for a year (needed a crossover so sold it at a loss) and really liked it, even with the anemic eAssist four banger. It felt like it was put together every bit as well as my (very old) Infiniti and had enough space for an NBA team in the back seats.

I shudder to imagine which cheeks.

But would you still have friends after foisting Elios on them? Ewww.

Apparently, Hyundai is using the Mitsubishi TD04 twin-scroll turbo, which is what it looks like Subaru is using as well. From what little I’ve seen, it’s pretty much a universal “base but reliable” model. That does make me wonder just how much boost it’s pushing, hmm. Might be time for some ODB action.

The two big things that screw me on gas mileage are that I have a lead foot and love to put it in sport mode which gives the turbos more of a workout at the low end, and that I live someplace with a base altitude of 4,500 feet with a fairly significant hill between me and literally anything else.

I’ve never felt limited by the handling in my SFS. If I really want to have fun, I throw it in sport mode and that really does change things up, but more in terms of shifting and off the line performance. It does tighten up the wheel a little, too.

Hyundai is weird about that. It’s sometimes listed as a different trim level and sometimes as a whole other model. It made research rough last year. But really, the two cars are about 90% identical so it didn’t matter. Just change the looks a little and add 8 inches.

Your Volvo is also lower to the ground, 25% lighter and tuned completely differently.

On trips like that, I can get around 28 out of the turbo model of the Santa Fe Sport with the AWD. Around town, I get around 20-21.
