That’s what I’ve heard. Unfortunately, this was a 2011(?) Jetta, so not nearly as roomy.

That’s because no one at VW has ever tried to fit a person or child in the back of any VW car-my wife called me crying 3 months after our son was born that we needed to upgrade her out of a Jetta ASAP because she was hurting her back trying to fit the carseat. In a four door sedan. The damn Jetta had such a low…

Agreed.

I once studded up a canvas jacket like that in college. My total cost was the $0.50 the jacket cost me at a dirty thrift store and the $2 I spent on a bag of studs.

Hmm...I’ve had some oddities in cars though I don’t know if they count as quirks.

I sure won’t. I’d generally prefer to buy a Honda or Toyota (mostly because I’ve had a really good experience with my current Toyota and my brother in law swears by Honda), but not for an 80 mile range. My daily commute is 50 miles round trip, so on a cold day that means I’d get....3/4 of the way home? Maybe?

GRMN is the stock symbol for Garmin, so it will forever be the Yaris Garmin in my brain.

I agree! I regret not buying an XTerra a few years ago, and I still miss my parents old mid-90s Pathfinder. I learned to drive on that car, and if Nissan made an SUV that was exactly like the Pathfinder of 20 years ago I would be first in line.

I am confused. So is Atlantic America it’s own country, but we might join the EU? That makes no sense. It would make far more sense if England came along and just offered to buy back the original 13 colonies, and we’ll just pretend the whole American Revolution thing never happened.

I guess. My parents have had a thing about Nissan and have only owned Nissans for the last 30 years or so (I guess even farther back than that, because as a small child I apparently cried when they sold their tiny yellow Datsun).

That would at least explain why the Murano exists, which is still something I puzzle over regularly.

My Ken doll took an extended vacation under the bed so Astronaut Barbie and regular Barbie could live together in the dream house alone.

I really think it depends heavily on the time of day and area. I wouldn’t blink if a guy was doing a clear workout on a playground unless he was specifically following kids or getting in the way of kids playing. But if I walked by my local playground at 7am and saw someone doing pullups I would be more impressed than…

1) I own an 8 year old Prius. Any thief dumb enough to steal parts from an old Prius is welcome to them.

Depends on the playground. My town has a path through the whole town that has workout stations peppered along it, including near a playground.

In defense of the imperials, they appeared to be the only people in the galaxy who showered regularly. I always joke that you can immediately tell rebel vs imperial because only one of them looks like he’s met a shower recently.

I had one of those as a rental while my car was in the shop. If I pushed it above 60 it made a very frightening vibration, like the whole thing might just disintegrate around me.

Spirit Air from San Salvador Island in the Bahamas to Fort Lauderdale. We had been at the Club Med through a specialty travel company, where they booked the whole Club Med for the week, so by the time we were boarding everyone was friendly with everyone else. Just a bit of background.

Amen! My handwriting often looks like I tried to write while holding the pen in my nostrils. Attaching a keyboard to my palm pilot in 2001 completely changed college for the better for me, as I could actually read my notes!

What is up with Toyota and Honda? Toyota seems intent on making cars that look like the concept art from a 1950's pulp Sci Fi story, while Honda is enamored of bubbles on wheels...either way, both are eye searingly ugly. (I have a long commute and spend a lot of time on the highway, so I spend a lot of time thinking…
