Amen. Using an economic critique for these programs is morally repugnant.

And when you are done there, come to Minnesota.

Thanks, thanks a lot. I choke up every time I see this damn commercial because it’s very personal.

A new Crosstrek is perfect for someone wanting a new vehicle with a warranty. However, if used is okay, a Forester XT is near perfect. The turbo engine has a extra power with sport driving modes at the push of a button. Ours is rock solid and perfect for Minnesota winters (when we actually have snow).

My wife drove two different GTIs through multiple winters here in Minnesota, and not with winter tires. Both cars were rock solid in winter. She only had one time where driving out of the alley was impossible in 14 years.

I know that my car has this. Sounds like an opportunity to make mischief for my wife when we swap cars.

My son LOVES this song.

Trip computers are a funny thing. My ‘07 A4 is very accurate for fuel economy, but my wife’s ‘14 Forester XT is not. The Subie will consistently over-estimate the mpg, typically 2-3 mpg.

Ha! My dad’s old pickup had the tire jack in there, but not the tire. Granted, the engine bay was big enough to stand inside of it while working on the engine.

Hmm. This is an actually useful quirk for me when I need to change what I’ve been listening to on my drive.

So, that was you behind me.

Oh God. This happens with my wife’s phone in the Subaru. “A-Punk” queues up every time she plugs it into the charging port, and she never ever deletes the damn song.

Ah, good old VW electrical issues. I’ve spent many a day screaming obscenities at my wife’s old GTI. Good times.

That made me laugh out loud and everyone is looking at me. Thanks!

Minnesota has some of the same shitheads. We were looking at homes last year in a small town on the west side of the MSP metro. A shithead in a lifted truck with a gigantic confederate flag drove by, and my wife looked at me and said “Nope, not here.”

Ha! Your story reminded me of this fun time.

Ha, I resemble that remark.

Come to Minnesota where schools are strong, the museums plentiful, and the breweries outstanding.

Amen to the reinforced door beams and the better builds of today. I was t-boned about 2 years ago and walked away with only a ringing in my left ear from the side airbag.

Thanks, thanks a lot. This was on the radio when I got up yesterday and I had it stuck in my head ALL DAY.
