Seat belts and airbags and better structural design and better emergency responses to crashes have cut fatality rates. Increased distances traveled on limited access highways have artificially reduced apparent crash rates.

For some reason, automotive journalists seem confused by the Buick Encore being a relatively successful vehicle in terms of volume.

I’ll take the fewer door dings by fewer people having long ass coupe doors if it’s all the same to you

I think the current Kia soul is the standout in the segment

Is there a problem with even one of the reasons she likes her car? We’d do well if more people bought cars that weren’t too big or too powerful.

They're not listed so they're not myths, duh.

Technically a NP, especially in the current market. But a ND for me at nearly any price. My brother owned one of these, and to the surprise of no VW customer, at around this age/mileage things started happening that had the dealer suggesting they pull the dashboard for service.

Single vehicle crashes into something unyielding are by no means always accidents though. Suicide by car is unfortunately a thing.

My guess is that these aren’t going to be worth much more after a weekend of wrenching. The ones that are broken aren’t really viable daily drivers the people who will want them most are going to need their own wrenching skills. Blending together the two Grand Cherokees especially isn’t going to create anything of…

True, but the rules do change.

They don’t want a lot of the crap that manufacturers are putting on new cars. So they are going for the devil they know: older cars they understand and trust.

1st gear: the differences are enormous. The housing bubble was driven by fuckery in the financial system, and the current car market is purely a supply/demand situation. They are, as the meme goes, not the same.

This is the overlanding equivalent to stance. 

I wish electric cars were offered with battery capacity options for the owner. If a car like this had say 3 banks of batteries that were reasonably easy to remove/replace by a mechanic, you could offer it to the public at different price points with the option of expanding or replacing capacity in the future.

Everyone…

Seems like almost all of Dune was published in serial format across 8 issues of the Analog Science Fiction periodical (https://www.manhattanrarebooks.com/pages/books/2111/frank-herbert/dune-in-analog-magazine?soldItem=true).

Armorer was union, and comes from a legacy of handling weapons. It was her second film, but her father was a mainstay over the last few decades, working as an armorer.

Mercedes, excellent review! I love to visit that part of the country. Mt Hood ftw.
