very doable to remove the reduction boxes, nowadays.

You also still have to go to pick up the car, but Lyft offers up to $40 in ride credits to get to and from the pickup location. This is nice, though Enterprise has been providing free transportation to their locations for so long that “Pick Enterprise. We’ll Pick You Up.” was the company’s slogan way back in 1995.

bam. done. though volvo isn’t a bad idea either.

you know, i can get behind the zElectric model, as the not-easily-reversible modifications are pretty minimal (as it uses the existing transaxle).  if the setup craps out, you still have the option to throw a gas engine back in.

i think you’re right...they made it even more obvious how ‘meh’ most of the rest of Taco Bell’s menu is.

we like screwing with them with our 2015 civic....new car for the same payments we’re making now? really? cool, free car!

does anyone remember the street tacos? the beef and the chicken were pretty taco bell standard, other than an actual corn tortilla, but the carnitas was GOOD...better than literally anything else on the menu.

Kristen,

i was looking into VRBO for a trip not too long ago...looking at cabins and such for a 3 or 4 night stay, the various fees actually eclipsed the daily rates, and the total was actually steeper than hotels in the same areas.

we did something similar around July 4th; the little guy stayed with us for a week or so, and went along on a few car trips and hikes; he was actually our 3rd foster.  the first was an interim situation, until she could be transported between rescues, and the second...foster fail. we spent ~6 months working on his…

at least here, it’s near impossible to find those “base” models on the lot, especially GM, and to a lesser extent, ford...it seems like the dealers largely order them optioned up, with the vast majority stickered in the $45-50k range.

agreed..i had worse road rash when i was younger at ~5mph on a bicycle. damage/dirt in the photos doesn’t match the description either...dirt on the back of her tank top, and pretty much the whole left leg is clean despite her supposedly going down on her left side. on pavement those pre-ripped overalls would’ve…

useless side note: that photo is looking toward downtown Fresno...can’t quite place what street that is, but that street sign on the right side is for Clinton ave, and the short building just low and to the left of the tall one is the County Jail.

more like a solid hit (car) sunk by awful dealers.

so...for awhile on my beetle, i was running 165's on 4.5" steelies on the front, and 205/55's on 5.5's in the back. then i stumbled onto some 7" wide rims...ordered some 225/50's for those.

some vpns will let you decide which apps are allowed to connect outside of the vpn connection, for situations such as this.

“Darn, I was mowing my lawn and hit a cord that shouldn’t have been there, what a shame...”

$30k will get a fairly new 4runner in that range...not 100% on flat towing them though.

i will contend that “wholly unnecessary” horsepower is the BEST kind of horsepower.

the nice part is that it’s from a time when the stereo wasn’t tied into EVERYTHING else, so you can just yank it and throw your choice of aftermarket deck in.  And it’s new and common enough that you KNOW there’s a direct-fit wiring harness for it.
