Might going electric solve some of their reliability woes? Like, get the shitty ICEs out and drop in some much simpler electric motors in the hopes of less recalls and maybe even beating Mitsubishi in reliability rankings? OTA updates could also help fix their shitty infotainment systems.

...Hey, you’re finally awake...

I guess small is relative, but I work at Driftwood. Was at Phillips for 5 years delivering before that. Phillips is easily the biggest on the island, maybe the biggest craft brewery in the province, we’re still small potatoes compared to them. 

The short-bus would do the trick for room, weight limit, and quirkiness. It could probably hold more but I like the Astro for its size. Being so short it can still fit in a regular parking spot and easily get down the back alleys where you’ll need to be delivering to.

I run the warehouse for a small brewery in Victoria, BC and what you want is an Chevy Astro Van. The thing about delivering kegs is that you run out of weight before you run out of space and as a growing business you’re always going to need to move a little more. An Astro can fit 12 keg comfortable with room for more…

Sounds like BMW is continuing their trend of building the Compromised Ultimate Driving Machine

Apparently 40% of Sportwagens sold in Canada came with a stick. I feel like these sell better in Canada but we’re losing them too because of poor US sales. 

I’ve been considering this, still cheaper than a new BMW/Merc/Volvo wagon

Aw man, tying for the record was all Williams had, now what will they do?

But, but, just last April they were teasing us in the other direction.

I drive a 5 ton truck for a small brewery moving finished good from our brewery to our warehouse. The distances are very short, I might do 30km on a busy day.  A big electric truck would be great for this kind of work. Very short hauls but with tons of torque to move those heavy loads around. 

Funny enough I gave the same reasons for my divorce. I did find it a little odd that “PC attitude” was an option on the paperwork though. 

I don’t get why they’re not selling these in Canada. If Buick is having such a tough time getting them off of lots then send them to the natural home of the Outback and Alltrack. I bet a lot of people are hitting their golden years and would really like to upgrade their old Matrixes(Matrises?) to better haul the…

You know what else looks stellar, an E46 wagon with a tent mounted to the top. I posted this last week but I won’t say no to another excuse since the tent is still new. Plus with the wagon closer to the ground it’s way easier to get in and out of.

They usually have some sort of aluminum floor that the mattress rests on and the whole thing mounts to the roof rack. Thus the roof is protected.

I want to love it but it is way overpriced. In my neverending searches for a wagon I’m not allowed to buy this one has been popping up on my local Craigslist feed for months.  CP

One RWD with manual coming up! (I’ll be honest, it’s AWD but when you see one for sale with a stick you take what you can get)

More so when you can get a better equipped GTI for less. 

I almost bought an 02 Legacy GT for $7000 CAD.  They’re asking waayyyyy too much. CP

I agree, once I could switch the display between my dials to show my speed I never look at my speedometer anymore.
