What weird demographic is cross shopping one of these with any EV?

Yeah it does 0-60 in 7.3 seconds. That’s certainly not fast but it’s more than adequate for the car’s intended use. We’re absolutely spoiled these days. When I was younger the idea that we could get 40+ mpg with a sub 8 second 0-60 time was ridiculous. Depending on what my finances look like I...

That’s a good option if I can find a clean one.

Yeah it’s slow, but the power is adequate; 170 hp in a 3000 lb car is fine. I’m not going to use it all very often anyway as the car will mostly get used to take kids to school and medical appointments (the thing my GTI has screwed me on a few times now). I had a V-6 Camry before we decided we...

Yeah I’m going back and forth between a Corolla and a Civic for my “will never die” appliance. The Civic is objectively nicer but I was surprised by the Corolla… it’s pretty fun to chuck around.

Yeah I’m debating what to do. I need a car I can rely on so I need something else… thinking about getting a Corolla hatch. After that I can just treat the GTI like a toy; if I don’t need it to run I can do big projects on it and leave it on stands for as long as necessary. Right now if it’s the...

I’d love to do that as well but unfortunately my free time is basically restricted to weekday office hours. :(

I wouldn’t sit on it without a thorough sanitization.

I got a CSL DD last week and started up with rookie Mazdas again. I’m painfully slow but I’m having fun. Looking forward to Okayama this week because I can lap close to what I should be able to at my sub 2k iRating. If I keep at this for a while maybe I’ll buy a proper rig, load cell pedals...

Car is leaking oil all over my garage floor now, I think it’s the rear main seal. I’m out of patience with this car as it’s something new every few months.

Just top it off with some distilled water.

I’m not much of a drinker but I love a good hefeweizen. Other than that I’d rather not have the headache that comes with alcohol.

Coke syrup… I had no idea that was a thing. I’ll look into it. The kiddo saw a new neurologist today and based on testing and everything that’s happened it’s likely that at some point in the next year or two he’ll move past the vomiting episodes and end up with bad headaches instead. Not that I...

Wow yeah that does sound like him. He’ll eat and hours later, long after it should be digested, there’s chicken fingers on the floor (or toilet, hopefully). At this point we don’t mess around, if his anti-nausea meds don’t work we just take him to the ER in hopes that the dehydration can be...

This last time they did an upper gi xray with contrast and it all showed normal. All the labs related to the vomiting seem normal. On one hand it’s good to know that there’s nothing big that stands out, on the other it’s frustrating to not know wtf is happening.

Yeah, he’s sick in general though. This is the third time in three months that he’s been hospitalized for vomiting. This one was a virus because we all got it… the other two were not. So far nobody has been able to explain why he just starts vomiting for seemingly no reason, causing him to get...

Had an experience recently… Kid gets sick, has an infection, go to the ER. Kid is bad enough that he’s admitted. The next evening (still in hospital with kiddo) I get sick and dehydrated to the point that I feel faint when standing so I’m wheeled down to the ER by a tech. Because this is a...

Tater tots are basically shredded potatoes while fries are potato sticks. Both great but the texture is so different it’s hard to think of them as the same.

wtf I knew it wasn’t great but didn’t think it was that bad

Those wheels look great. What are they?
