some learnings

My old old Corolla wagon vs its contemporary

Corolla All tracs (or earlier Tercel 4wd )are amazing in the snow (diff locks and granny gears) for $3,000 you can pick up one in good condition and do a RAV4 suspension lift if needed parts are plentiful and they are a great parts runner with a lot of soul and 30mpg economy.  You can also do fun upgrades and a 4age…

Corolla all-trac with RAV 4 suspension. Fairly easy to work on and parts are plentiful. Has centre diff lock. and a ton of character.

Can be Sycro’d

Plenty of love of here for Camrys, especially the earlier and latest models. Even if it is just a begrudging respect for the vehicles that just keep going and able to do the chores like parts running for your weekend car.

I see the logical conclusion of this series in the year 2030 where David has successfully driven through all 48 contiguous US states at 10mph with his extended family in the back all suffering frostbite and hypothermia after 235 hours of not sleeping since leaving his 5 acre scrap yard after forging ferrous metal…

Have noticed a big change in my AWD wagon (from 10L/100km to 8L/100km) by removing bars and crap of the roof. Heavy stuff out of the cabin thats not being used and paying attention to tyres (less aggressive tread) and pressure and driving smoothly. 

Should make things easier on themselves and benchmark somewhere between the head gaskets of a Subaru, the rolling coal bro anxiety of a Tesla and the reliability of a Discovery.

Amateur.

So, did you vote CP because it’s the sort of car that is beneath you? as I just pass on American Muscle cars and Jeep for instance because they are not my cup of tea.

Those same people who would probably never buy secondhand cars anyway. When I see cars I don’t really like or know I just won’t vote. 

That silhouette is so futuristic. Also.

Cease to VTEC, giving my goodbye
Drive my HR-V into the ocean
You’ll think I’m dead, but I rust away
On a wave of depreciation
A wave of Jalop appreciation
Wave of crossover constipation

Not answering for everyone but roads usually go to places you need to go.and bike paths stop at every road where as if i’m on the street I get the same rules as the cars.. I’m in a city a car makes no sense - nor does beautiful landscapes. Saying that I try to treat all road users with respect that I would like…
