I like my Ford. It's relatively fuel efficient and has plenty of room for activities.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:I'm quite happy with my Ford Fiesta which was developed and refined for years in Europe before being ported back to Detroit I'm quite happy with my near 20 year old work truck with 200k on the clock. It's a compliment different market and it makes no sense to sell there. Not a lot of people own cars in Japan and the cars that they do own are tiny and have very very short lives. For reference, the last time I was in Japan my "mid size" rental was a Mazda 3 demio. Which is an ever smaller version of a Mazda 3. It also cost me 40$ a night to park in a vending machine and more than 100$ us in tolls just leaving Tokyo. That article has its head up it's rear end.

Pander posted:When I hear "don't buy american" I mostly just interpret it as "don't buy GM". I'm personally done with them after having one die and one melt down on me like a runaway nuclear reactor. GM seems to have really gone downhill since they got bailed out... I wonder if it's related.

enraged_camel posted:Also, the fact that Trump hasn't Tweeted or said anything about Stormy so far means one thing: it has to be bad enough that even he understands that he should keep his loving mouth shut. LOL if you don't think that McMasters(?) is tricking him with a pretend first strike to make him feel like a big boy in the war nuke room.

The demio actually fits things pretty well - four seats, with space in the back for two luggages. And it feels better constructed than the American counterpart Mazda 3 tbh, (which I suspect they purposely increase the size of).

It DID hold all the equipment I needed to do my field work, so yeah it's not that bad. Although I don't know that it's better constructed than a Mazda 3, my 3 is now 3 years old and still feels brand new in handling and all that.

Aves Maria! posted:wtf are you doing, colorado A little late on this but I grew up in CO. Up until recently (very recently), Colorado was straight red. Until 2008, Colorado voted voted for every republican presidential candidate except for three since 1940. Now's a great time to get corporal punishment off the books. The other side of that is, Colorado's got a really good history of shooting themselves in the foot for lack of future thinking. See also Sam Bee's new segment about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp4LUMl2994
