1999 Oldsmobile Alero bought new. It needed new brake pads, rotors and calipers every 6k miles. Traded after the 3rd major brake job. Dealer told me new cars are designed to be driven in the City. Then said my wife didn't know how to drive.  Informed the dealer our old Accord drove the same route for years on the same…

Electric subsidies for vehicles under $35k. The subsidies should sunset at some point. Current subsidies mostly benefit people that don't need the price break. 

The Police should do absolutely nothing just like Portland. Rapid increase in crime. 

Our local Police encourage deals to be completed at any local Police precinct.  This Also avoids the problem of the other party knowing your home address. 

Older Ford Ranger rear jump seats. They faced inboard. Not big enough for kids. No crash protection.

Student debt should be fully paid for by the student. Why should the debt be waived? A college degree allows upward mobility. Why should blue collar non college graduates pay for the debt? There are plenty of trades and trade schools that allow minimal to zero debt. Same trades need workers now. 

Anything held together with duct tape and/or drywall screws. 

The Lexus is already an established world vehicle. Parts are available for the Lexus around the world. If an XJ breaks down repair parts might not be readily available. 

Bail reform has gone too far. He was released on $1k bail for trying to run over his girlfriend. Lets try thoughtful bail reform. Some people need to be jailed.

It's harmless fun. Doesn't scratch the paint. Don't see the problem. My Wrangler is a trailer queen. Rarely sees blacktop. Never been ducked. 

Ram TRX or Ford Raptor 

Locally car theft is on a dramatic rise. Mailing a ticket to the registered owner of a stolen car seems like a waste of time. 

There's only so many Longshorman. If they start loading empty containers they are no longer offloading full containers. 

I see large lines of trucks waiting to access the Port. The bottleneck problem includes Port workers/longshorman. Not saying they are causing the problem. Load and unload of trucks done by Port workers needs to speed up or done more efficiently.

I get what your saying. Agree the thief will choose an easier target. However, there’s always a way.

Washington State enacted ID laws to combat metal theft. Thieves now rent/steal a UHAUL for transport to Oregon.

I know someone with an earlier Prius. Stolen cat totaled the car. 

I don’t get AWD with CVT transmission. CVT prevents most wheel slip situations. Sometimes wheel slip is necessary to start motion in a low traction environment. Old school auto transmission and manual transmission allows wheel slip to get start forward motion. Secndary problem with AWD is tire maintenance cost. Some…
