Since when did playing on Americans’ insecurities ever pay off?

Having driven I-80 after the storm in Nebraska this week I’ll say just about every SUV that slides of the road ends up rolling at least once. 

A minivan is the best packaged vehicle for carrying lots of kids, or people in general. The SUV is appearance combined with less utility. Tail fins were less detrimental to automotive trends than SUVs.

Yeah, this kind of beer is like having sex in a canoe.

You also have more options for station wagons (estates) than US dwellers.

Did any Imprezas between 02 and 07 have this? I got overwhelmed once driving up the St. Lawrence to Quebec a few Decembers ago and it could be a decent retrofit.

I keep an extending brush/scraper under the passenger seat. Start with the hood, the nose and then the windshield. Brush the roof going backward then the sides and rear.

I guess "tank turn" is cooler than calling that maneuver “the Bobcat.”

To make it legal, rent a real truck and hire a driver with a CDL (or Canadian equivalent) if needed.

The same kind of innovation that says “why do I need headlights; I can see where I’m going.” It’s all in the “I,” with no thought to anyone or anything else.

“Drones and the end of dogfighting”

Including Tom Cruise since the real actor is much older.

I think in general stress and fear have been amped up over the last twenty years. From flights to identity fraud to health care. You can make a lot of money from scared people.

Can you dig it?

This has been an issue since the mid-90s when the first projectors came out, followed by no plan on what to do with the excess light produced by more efficient HID and now LED lights, along with the wavelengths and everyone’s desire to get as close to a spotlight as possible, society be damned.

That reminds me of an early episode of The Wire when some of the investigators estimate the drug trade is extracting three million dollars a month out of the impoverished neighborhood where they set up.

Which is why I think the 42% seems high. A lot of people are willing to go further afield to get a car rather than their local dealer, let alone a US maker.

I can dig it but a Volvo 240 does it better.

But consumers don’t have options; dealers do.
