For me - as a civil engineer working in transportation - it’s our undying need to put in a traffic signal or a 4-way stop where a roundabout is really the perfect solution. Do any amount of driving in Europe outside the main city centers, and you almost never come to a stop, you just flow from roundabout to…

The Prius absolutely excels at what it is supposed to do. It isn’t winning a drag race or carving up a curvy mountain road because it was never intended to.

My wife (who is not a lesbian) has a dark gray one with a bike rack on the hitch. Given that we live in NW Washington - well, let’s just say it’s not always easy to find it in the parking lot, given that there are a bunch of them in the same color, many of them also carrying hitch racks. The damn thing is definitely…

My friend has a second-gen Prius with over 230k on it. She isn’t kind to her cars, and has put many miles on it with the oil pressure warning light illuminated thinking it was a reminder to change the oil. I think I finally got through to her on that one. The clear coat has failed on the roof, and the dashboard…

My parents are a 2 Outback family, both in grey. They’ve used them for absolutely everything. That N/A boxer 4 is uninteresting, but they’ve been great cars.

Toyota HiLux, obviously:

not everyone has to be an extremist. it’s ok to be ambivalent about some things. simmer down.

Also I am that guy. I have the Filson (TWO!), and I drink craft coffee in Seattle while wearing them. 

Prius V:

It’s there just so you’re not scratching paint when you brush against things on Forest Service roads. It’s perfectly serviceable for that.

Is not a lot of gain but 9.2 inches is solid.

This thing will sell, although I have serious doubts about the CVT for off-road use. However, a recent video comparing off-road capabilities of the Outback Wilderness vs. a 4Runner showed that the Subaru, at least for a few minutes, could actually handle some rough business. They should put a skid plate under the gas…

The Hatchback of Honda Grom.

If only 73 drivers quit and they are 500 drivers short, then the shortage isn’t really about the mandate, is it?
