Ah yes, 2018, when corporations expect us to directly pay their employees for them through tips and food stamps (Walmart).

The car I wish I still had. Have had two over the years, and even though as you pointed out, it’s not the fastest, the steering, chassis, and shifter were sublime.

Bullshit. If they both wanted better roads, they’d be better right now. I’m not absolving the corporatecrats either. But the last 8 years have been a particularly shitty time in Michigan under across-the-board Republican control. Neither party wants to spend the money because they’re both bought and paid for. But at…

Example #4,080: we need to get over the taboo attached to discussing salaries with coworkers. Talk about your salary with your coworkers. Talk about it all the time. After every raise. Our silence is their power.

Our Republican legislature and governor have turned Michigan into a third world country.

Please point me to a pristine example of this vehicle for $5000. I will buy it immediately.

I always think of this Jalopnik article when yet another crossover snark article gets published.

I’d never be able to decide which shade of blue to choose.

I subsequently read that as well. Andrew seemed to think it would be an additional trim level slotted above the Sport.

I’d be surprised if this isn’t just a replacement for the “Sport” trim. It makes sense for all performance versions to be unified under the ST badge.

The ST badge on the current Focus is higher up on the rear hatch, so perhaps it’s something different.

I would literally be at the dealership this evening if that were available.

Looks pretty similar to me.

Indeed. I have the Nordman 5's (same tread pattern as the Hakkapeliitta 5's) on our Flex and love them. My friend who lives “Up North” in Michigan swears by Nokians as well. They’ve already gotten 90+ inches this winter up where he is.

YES!

As an Ecoboost Flex owner and lover of old wagons, get the Flex first, get both if you can afford it.

I would have gone berserk and destroyed that Hudson store where you buy the magazines you would never otherwise read.

Still rather have a Cayman. Henry’s claim that he had “plenty of room” seems odd given the fact that he was clearly hunched over to see out the windscreen.

This is the first 100% correct thing on Jalopnik ever.

I thought this was fairly obvious. If it doesn’t snow where you live, don’t get winter tires. If it does, get winter tires.
