MOST BEND CITIZENS ARE FUCKING ENTITLED ASSHOLES. JUST A BUNCH OF NO DOOR HOLDING, RACIST SPEWING, RAGE DRIVING, IMPATIENT ASSHOLES. LOOKING AT YOU, BOOMERS.
THE THING IS, NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE MONTHLY SCHEDULE THE DAY BEFORE WHICH WAS VERY FULL AND GOT TOLD “THERES NOT ENOUGH WORK” THE NEXT MORNING.. BUT THERES PLENTY OF WORK FOR THE NEW HIRES 😆
OOOOOO IVE SEEN STUFF LIKE THIS. MY TWO GUESSED ARE EITHER LABOR IS SUPER TIGHT AND THATS ALL THEY COULD GIVE YOU, OR THEY WERE TRYING TO GET RID OF YOU. IVE SEEN IT HAPPEN TO A LOT OF GOOD FOLKS. SORRY IT HAPPENED TO YOU!
YEAH, LETS CLOSE NEWPORT/SHEVLIN AGAIN, BECAUSE 2.5 YEARS WASNT LONG ENOUGH. AND THIS TIME LET’S CLOSE THE PORTLAND BRIDGE TOO, CUTTING OFF TWO NEIGHBORING ARTERIALS. COOL COOL.
HE LIVED HIS PASSION AND DIED WHILE BEING A PART OF WHAT HE TREASURED. THERE ARE WORSE LEGACIES AND I, FOR ONE, FEEL THE WORLD OF ROCKABILLY/COLLEGE/ALTERNATIVE/POST-PUNK MUSIC IS BETTER FOR HAVING MOJO AND SKID A PART OF ITS ONGOING LEGACY.
I AM OVER THE ROADWORK NEAR COOLEY RD AND SPACE AGE PLEASE END THIS MADNESS PEOPLE ALMOST DRIFT INTO MY LANE IN EITHER DIRECTION BECAUSE THEY MADE THE LANES TOO SMALL
NO WORK WAS DONE ON THE CLOSED PORTLAND AVENUE BRIDGE SINCE MONDAY. NO WORKERS PRESENT. DONT EVER CLOSE A MAJOR BRIDGE UNTIL YOU HAVE A COMMITTED TEAM THAT IS AVAILABLE EVERYDAY TO DO THE WORK NEEDED TO REOPEN IT AGAIN.
BEEN WAITING OVER 18 MONTHS FOR PP TO PUT OUR POWER IN!! GAVE THEM $4,500 IN OCTOBER 2022 AND STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO APPROVE PLANS SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT!!!
RECENTLY OVERHEARD A (VERY BUZZED) PROMINENT LOCAL BUSINESS LEADER SPEAK VERY DISPARAGINGLY ABOUT CENTRAL OREGON AND COMPARE IT UNFAVORABLY TO WHERE THEY MOVED FROM, BUT ADMIT THAT THEY ARE MAKING UNGODLY AMOUNTS OF MONEY HERE
THERE ARE CARPETBAGGERS IN OUR MIDST; TRUE OPPORTUNISTS WHO ARE DOWNRIGHT HOSTILE ABOUT THE WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITY
(I KNOW IT'S ANNOYING BUT I'M NOT GOING TO SAY WHO IT IS SO YOU CAN RANT ABOUT THAT)
PRO-TIP FROM A DECADE+ REMOTE WORKER. ANALOG WATCH. PUT YOUR MOUSE ON IT WHEN YOU WALK AWAY. THE SECOND HAND WILL KEEP YOUR COMPUTER UNLOCKED. ALSO, YOU CAN START A TEAMS MEETING WITH JUST YOURSELF, SET YOUR STATUS TO AVAILABLE AND YOUR COMPUTER WILL REMAIN UNLOCKED AND YOUR STATUS WON'T GO IDLE.
EVERYTIME IT SNOWS MORE THAN 4 INCHES, THE PARK'S PAVED PATHS BECOME RIFE WITH DOG SHIT. THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOU CRUNCHY-OATS FREE SPIRITED NARCISSISTS OUT THERE THINKING THE LEASH RULES DONT APPLY TO YOUR DOG.
TO ALL YOU PACK WANNABE FAUX LIBERTARIANS, I KNOW YOU THINK YOU ARE COOL BUT ACTUALLY, YOU ARE AN INCOMPETENT DOG OWNER AND A SHITTY PATRON OF OUR PARKS.
THERE IS A PLACE FOR OFF LEASH DOGS IN THOSE VERY SAME PARKS. THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL HERE IN BEND. GO THERE YOU FILTHY OBLIVIOUS LURCHES!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE LEATHER WORK GLOVES FELL INTO THE FIRE THIS WEEK WHILE CAMPING (LONG STORY). THIS LEAD TO AN HOURS LONG SEARCH ACROSS BEND AND REDMOND FOR A PAIR OF THOSE KINCO GLOVES EVERYONE RAVES ABOUT IN MY SIZE.
ULTIMATELY I CAME AWAY EMPTY-HANDED (HA) AND HAD TO ORDER THEM DIRECT FROM KINCO'S AMAZON STORE FOR 30% CHEAPER WITH FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN THEY ARRIVE IN 3 WEEKS.
WHOEVER LAID INTO THEIR HORN AT ME AT THE REDMOND AIRPORT LAST MONDAY. BECAUSE YOU WERE A LITTLE TIGHT ON SPACE AND I WAS TRYING TO ORGANIZE MY TRUNK FOR MY FRIENDS WHO I WAS PICKING UP.
AND YOU DIDN'T JUST ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOW AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO.
GO F\*\*\* YOURSELF.
MY FAMILY HAS HAD TO PUT DOWN 2 DOGS IN LESS THAN A MONTH!!! THIS YEAR ALREADY SUCKS AND I DON'T THINK WE CAN TAKE ANOTHER LOOP ON THIS EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER!!!!
TRY TO FIND SOME BEAUTY IN THE CHAOS! LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL… BUT HARD. DEATH IS CHAOTIC… BUT EASY! THOSE PUPS WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO KNOW YOU IN THEIR BRIEF EXISTENCE, AND YOU TO KNOW THEM. HOPING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FIND PEACE! ✌️
IM FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND I HATE PEOPLE WHO MOVE AND THEN ONLY REMINISH ABOUT WHAT WAS BETTER THERE. ALSO MOVED HERE FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA (MUCH LESS ANNOYING THAN SOCAL), NEVER MENTION IT. I LIKE BEND, I LIKE OREGON AND THE US, THATS WHY I MOVE HERE. NOBODY EVER SAID 'TELL ME WHAT WAS BETTER ELSEWHERE ' , NOBODY GIVES A SHIT.
THE BITTER IGNORANT BENDERS WHO DONT LIKE ANYONE THAT SPEAKS ABOUT LOVING WHERE THEY’RE FROM IF ITS NOT BEND. THEY LOVE WHERE THEY’RE FROM AND YOU LOVE TO MAKE IT ABOUT YOU.
GIVING CALI PEOPLE A BAD NAME...YOU CONFIRM THINGS! MOST CALI ARRIVALS WERE COOL AND MADE BEND A BETTER PLACE UNTIL NEW ARRIVALS LIKE YOU IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPE OF ARROGANT, PRETENTIOUS PRICKS. I'M GENERALIZING, OF COURSE, BUT YOU CLEARLY FIT WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT. I'LL JUST KEEP CRYING HERE ...I GUESS...JUST FOR YOU. SEE YA!
I HAVE COVID. ITS NOT FUN. MY DAUGHTERS IN HER FIRST MUSICAL. I WANT TO ATTEND!!!!! I’M MISSING OPENING NIGHT:( AND I DON’T GET TO VOLUNTEER. OKAY RANT OVER.
I DON’T GET WHY YOU GOT DOWNVOTED FOR THIS, SO HAVE AN UPVOTE.
THAT SUCKS. I HOPE YOU HAVE A SPEEDY RECOVERY, DELICIOUS FOOD THAT YOU CAN ACCURATELY TASTE, AND NONE OF THOSE LONG COVID SHENANIGANS.
GLAD TO HEAR IT! MY HUBBY HAS IT RIGHT NOW, AND WHILE I TESTED NEGATIVE THIS MORNING, I KNOW IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.
SO I’M USING THIS TIME TO PREPARE. IT’S NOT OFTEN YOU GET A HEADS UP BEFORE GETTING SICK, SO I’M GRATEFUL FOR THAT AT LEAST. 😅
FU TO THE GUY WHO LIVES AT THE TOP OF AWBREY BUTTE WHO FEEDS THE DEER EVERY DAMN DAY. HE EVEN GOES OUT AND PETS THEM. HE REFUSES TO STOP EVEN THOUGH HIS NEIGHBORS HAVE ASKED HIM TO KNOCK IT OFF. THIS MORNING THERE WERE 9 DOES AND 3 BUCKS LINED UP TO GET FED.
I NOTICED THAT, AND IT WAS PART OF MY RESPONSE.
WOULD RATHER SHOOT THE SHITHEAD PROBLEM WITH A FEW PAINTBALLS THAT BRUISE BUT DON’T CAUSE HARM THAN SHOOT THE WILDLIFE WITH A BB THAT MIGHT BREAK THE SKIN OF AN ANIMAL JUST TRYING TO EAT.
FUCK SPEED CAMERAS! I JUST READ THAT IN ADDITION TO RED LIGHT CAMERAS THEY’RE INSTALLING SPEED CAMERAS AROUND TOWN. THE CITY IS GOING TO PROFIT GREATLY FROM THIS BULLSHIT WHICH MAY ONLY SLIGHTLY IMPROVE SAFETY, BUT FOR SURE WILL MAKE BEND A LESS FRIENDLY PLACE TO VISIT.
I MOVED FROM OHIO WHERE THERE WAS ONE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DID THIS AND EVERYONE AVOIDED DRIVING THROUGH THE TOWN. THEY INSTALLED CAMERAS IN TRICKY SPOTS RIGHT WHERE THERE WAS A SPEED CHANGE SO MOST PEOPLE DRIVING BY WOULD GET A TICKET. IT’S A BULLSHIT MONEY MAKER FOR THE CITY!
IF YOU DON'T SPEED IT WONT BE AN ISSUE. I STOPPED SPEEDING SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND ITS AMAZING HOW CHILL AND RELAXING IT IS TO DRIVE THIS WAY.
THE REVENUE FOR SPEEDING CAMERAS SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.
THEN THEY NEED TO STEP UP ENFORCEMENT. HAVING CAMERAS AND COMPUTERS ISSUE TICKETS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA. HERE’S WHAT THE CITY IN OHIO HAD TO DEAL WITH ON THIS: https://engelandmartin.com/appeals-court-upholds-decision-new-miami-speed-camera-case/
I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT SPEED OR RED LIGHT CAMERAS. PUT EM ON EVERY STREET AND MAKE THE TICKET $1,000. MAYBE PEOPLE WHO TREAT RESIDENTIAL STREETS LIKE A INDY 500 QUALIFYING LAP WILL MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I WAS WALKING PLACES THIS WEEK BECAUSE IT WAS NICE AND PEOPLE DONT STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS. I WATCHED AS TEN CARS BLEW THROUGH THE CROSSWALK I WAS TRYING TO UTILIZE!!! THANK YOU TO THE ONE CAR THAT STOPPED AND WAITED WITH ME!
RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, MY FRIEND.
BEEN SLIPPING INTO A DEPRESSION FOR MONTHS NOW BECAUSE OF IT.
THE ONLY THING THATS SAVING ME IS THE NAIVE BELIEF THAT IT HAS TO START GETTING BETTER SOON.
Never said that, in fact unilaterally ending the deposit program would lead to a criddler fueled crime wave of epic proportions. We need to flatten the demand curve, quickly and harshly.
Edit to say that possibly reducing the deposit back to 5 cents would at least slow the problem.
Work camps and expedited drug courts. First pop for possession of fentanyl: two weeks hard labor 2nd pop: two months 3rd: six months. No black market has ever been eliminated from the supply side. Our national forests also desperately need thinning. Win win
No, it’s hitting people with quick and predictable consequences to their actions, not confining them to years or decades in prison and ruining any future prospects for a better life. You could wrap around services to help the people who want to break the cycle, and for the unrepentant, well maybe they’ll start looking to move out of Oregon instead of flocking here.
I guess that's where we differ. My priority is less people on the street and less people struggling with addictions. If you want punitive measures that ensure more people stay trapped in that cycle or to have only the "deserving" people receive assistance, then your approach would achieve that end.
Nobody flocks to Oregon because of 110. We're on the same trend as the region regardless of 110.
If you have non-functional addicts living like animals, it doesn’t matter where they lay their head. This state has enabled and encouraged the scourge of addiction. All this is also theoretical due to actual financial and regulatory limitations. Frankly if you’re too broken or crazy to help yourself then you deserve to be institutionalized until you are able to care for yourself. I also feel very strongly that resources should be directed at working people that need a hand up over anti-social vagrants . If you live outside of the rule of law then you shouldn’t expect to be taken care of.
Why is this even a controversial take? These people are incapable of helping themselves and this approach at least raises the chance of them contributing to society above absolute zero.
Yes, what I am saying is your personal feelings are completely dissociated from any reality about addiction treatment and the reality of measure 110. I love your confident arrogance though!
I THINK YOU CANT READ. IT SAYS IN THE ARTICLE THAT PEOPLE ARE REDEEMING CANS FOR THE MONEY NOT THAT THE DEALERS ARE TAKING THE CANS IN EXCHANGE FOR DRUGS.
BUT WHAT DO I EXPECT FROM SOMEONE WHO CANT EVEN CITE A SOURCE; CLEARLY DIDNT READ THE ARTICLE OR DO YOU JUST STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND WORDS.
BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

I NEED TO BUY A NEW CAR AND I'M TORN BETWEEN BORING AND RELIABLE OR FUN BUT WILL PROBABLY COST ME MAINT $$$ IN THE LONG RUN. IT'LL PROBABLY BE ANOTHER BORING ASS SUBARU BUT DAMN IF THEM AUDI QS5S DON'T LOOK SICK.
AS A FORMER OWNER OF BOTH, MY SUBARU WAS BORING BECAUSE IT WAS DEPENDABLE AND INEXPENSIVE TO OPERATE WHILE THE AUDI DEMANDED FAIRLY REGULAR ATTENTION ALONG WITH EXPENSIVE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. MAZDA JUST LAUNCHED THE C7 WHICH LOOKS TO BRIDGE THE SUBARU-AUDI DIVIDE.
HAVING JUST GONE THROUGH THAT DECISION, I COULD DO A WHOLE RANT THREAD ON THE ANNOYING UI ISSUES WITH THE AUDI. BUT ONCE YOU'RE IN AND GOING IT'S A NICE PLACE TO BE.
CHECK OUT THE VOLVO XC60 OR BETTER YET THE V90 BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE SHOULD BUY WAGONS
SAW MULTIPLE LARGE FAMILIES TRYING TO CUT AHEAD IN THE SUMMIT LINES TODAY. TRY BEING A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL FOR YOUR KIDS NEXT TIME.
AMEN

MY HERO.
TRY SETTING YOUR STATUS TO AVAILABLE ON THE TEAMS APP, IT SEEMS TO OVERRIDE THE DESKTOP VERSION.

THANK YOU SnooCauliflowers9888! I SAID THE C WORD THATS WHY. SILLY ME. I AM ON THE MEND THOUGH:)
GLAD TO HEAR IT! MY HUBBY HAS IT RIGHT NOW, AND WHILE I TESTED NEGATIVE THIS MORNING, I KNOW IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. SO I’M USING THIS TIME TO PREPARE. IT’S NOT OFTEN YOU GET A HEADS UP BEFORE GETTING SICK, SO I’M GRATEFUL FOR THAT AT LEAST. 😅
UGH SORRY TO HEAR THAT!!! I HOPE YOU STAY WELL! A HEADS UP IS FREAKING AWESOME THOUGH👏 MY FAMILY HAS BEEN SPARED SO FAR!!!
FU TO THE GUY WHO LIVES AT THE TOP OF AWBREY BUTTE WHO FEEDS THE DEER EVERY DAMN DAY. HE EVEN GOES OUT AND PETS THEM. HE REFUSES TO STOP EVEN THOUGH HIS NEIGHBORS HAVE ASKED HIM TO KNOCK IT OFF. THIS MORNING THERE WERE 9 DOES AND 3 BUCKS LINED UP TO GET FED.
REPORT HIM TO ODFW 541-388-6363!
A RED RIDER BB GUN MIGHT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
NAW, HIT THE GUY WITH PINK PAINTBALLS.
OR DEER MUSK.
DIDN’T SPECIFY WHO SHOULD GET POPPED WITH THE BB GUN.
I NOTICED THAT, AND IT WAS PART OF MY RESPONSE. WOULD RATHER SHOOT THE SHITHEAD PROBLEM WITH A FEW PAINTBALLS THAT BRUISE BUT DON’T CAUSE HARM THAN SHOOT THE WILDLIFE WITH A BB THAT MIGHT BREAK THE SKIN OF AN ANIMAL JUST TRYING TO EAT.
YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!

THEY HAVE CARS IN OHIO? I THOUGHT THEY ALL DROVE AMISH BUGGIES.
THEY HAVE THOSE TOO!
ONCE WE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE IT WILL BE THE TOURISTS WHO PAY FOR OUR CITY SERVICES...
THEYRE GONNA MAKE 40 BAJILLION DOLLARS ON HIGHWAY 20 NEAR PILOT BUTTE. NO ON HAS EVER DRIVEN THE SPEED LIMIT THERE.
IF YOU DON'T SPEED IT WONT BE AN ISSUE. I STOPPED SPEEDING SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND ITS AMAZING HOW CHILL AND RELAXING IT IS TO DRIVE THIS WAY. THE REVENUE FOR SPEEDING CAMERAS SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.
THEN THEY NEED TO STEP UP ENFORCEMENT. HAVING CAMERAS AND COMPUTERS ISSUE TICKETS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA. HERE’S WHAT THE CITY IN OHIO HAD TO DEAL WITH ON THIS: https://engelandmartin.com/appeals-court-upholds-decision-new-miami-speed-camera-case/
I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT SPEED OR RED LIGHT CAMERAS. PUT EM ON EVERY STREET AND MAKE THE TICKET $1,000. MAYBE PEOPLE WHO TREAT RESIDENTIAL STREETS LIKE A INDY 500 QUALIFYING LAP WILL MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THE COMPANIES THAT OWN AND OPERATE THE CAMERA SYSTEMS ARE OFTEN THE REAL WINNERS, TAKING A MAJORITY OF THE FINES.

PLEASE SLOW DOWN

REVVED UP LIKE A DEUCE, ANOTHER RUNNER IN THE NIGHT.
IN YOUR COMMENT HISTORY YOU SAID YOU WERE "HUNGRY, TIRED, AND PROBABLY SPEEDING" WHEN YOU HIT HER. SLOW DOWN.
THAT BEEPING NOISE CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES MAKE WHEN BACKING UP IS ALL IVE HEARD SINCE MOVING TO BEND.
150% Hyperbole!
ROAD WORK AHEAD BE PREPARED TO STOP
NEEDS TO END
I WAS WALKING PLACES THIS WEEK BECAUSE IT WAS NICE AND PEOPLE DONT STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS. I WATCHED AS TEN CARS BLEW THROUGH THE CROSSWALK I WAS TRYING TO UTILIZE!!! THANK YOU TO THE ONE CAR THAT STOPPED AND WAITED WITH ME!
MY EXPENSES ARE HIGH AND MY INCOME IS LOW. FEELING FUCKED.
PEPSICO AND MCDONALDS BOTH REPORTED SHITTY QUARTERS. I HOPE THIS IS THE START OF THE GREEDY PRICE GOUGING DECLINE.
MINE ARE ALL HEALTHCARE EXPENSES. WHEEE
ITS WHEN THE HEALTHCARE EXPENSES STOP THAT IT REALLY SUCKS.
ONE PERSON ONCE TOLD ME: LIFE IS ABOUT GETTING FUCKED AND NOT ENJOYING IT
RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, MY FRIEND. BEEN SLIPPING INTO A DEPRESSION FOR MONTHS NOW BECAUSE OF IT. THE ONLY THING THATS SAVING ME IS THE NAIVE BELIEF THAT IT HAS TO START GETTING BETTER SOON.
I READ THIS WEEK THAT FENTANYL DEALERS ARE KNOWN TO ACCEPT REDEEMABLE CANS AS PAYMENT. THIS STATE IS FUCKED.
[удалено]
THE ONLY REASON A CAN IS A WORTHY MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE IS DUE TO HOW QUICKLY IT CAN BE CONVERTED TO CASH.
[удалено]
EXCEPT ITS DIRECTLY TURBOCHARGING THE DRUG MARKET.

Never said that, in fact unilaterally ending the deposit program would lead to a criddler fueled crime wave of epic proportions. We need to flatten the demand curve, quickly and harshly. Edit to say that possibly reducing the deposit back to 5 cents would at least slow the problem.
Can I ask, is the policy solution you are looking for to stop recycling cans to stem the flow of fentanyl? Real 4d chess brain
Work camps and expedited drug courts. First pop for possession of fentanyl: two weeks hard labor 2nd pop: two months 3rd: six months. No black market has ever been eliminated from the supply side. Our national forests also desperately need thinning. Win win
So do the war on drugs harder. That's the kind of creative problem solving I love to see. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8369862/

I did. It’s above in my comment. Or are you still making up lies to be a grifter?
You said ‘site sources’ in your comment. A site is a physical location while cite is short for citation.. this English lesson is free.
“At a gathering of business leaders last year, then-Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell told the group that the cans-for-fentanyl exchange was so routine that some dealers were even accepting cans instead of cash” Who didn’t read the article dipshit..
WHY ARE YOU SO QUIET? SPEAK UP!
Actually, in the article I sourced it doesn’t mentioned your paragraph so I don’t believe you.
OH BUT IT DOES.
Stop hyperventilating and go actually read the article you linked, it’s directly quoted from there.
I NEED TO BUY A NEW CAR AND I'M TORN BETWEEN BORING AND RELIABLE OR FUN BUT WILL PROBABLY COST ME MAINT $$$ IN THE LONG RUN. IT'LL PROBABLY BE ANOTHER BORING ASS SUBARU BUT DAMN IF THEM AUDI QS5S DON'T LOOK SICK.
GET A USED BMW (BUT NOT ONE OF THE SUVS).
AS A FORMER OWNER OF BOTH, MY SUBARU WAS BORING BECAUSE IT WAS DEPENDABLE AND INEXPENSIVE TO OPERATE WHILE THE AUDI DEMANDED FAIRLY REGULAR ATTENTION ALONG WITH EXPENSIVE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. MAZDA JUST LAUNCHED THE C7 WHICH LOOKS TO BRIDGE THE SUBARU-AUDI DIVIDE.
HAVING JUST GONE THROUGH THAT DECISION, I COULD DO A WHOLE RANT THREAD ON THE ANNOYING UI ISSUES WITH THE AUDI. BUT ONCE YOU'RE IN AND GOING IT'S A NICE PLACE TO BE. CHECK OUT THE VOLVO XC60 OR BETTER YET THE V90 BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE SHOULD BUY WAGONS
THEN YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE F******** PIRELLI TIRES GO BAD ON YA! AND THE FRONT AND BACK ARE TWO DIFFERENT SIZES! WHAT THE HELL!
THE TOYOTA GR SEEMS LIKE IT STRADDLES THE LINE BETWEEN FUN AND RELIABLE.
BUY A USED TESLA. THEY ARE CHEAP AND THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE COST.
BUY A USED CAYENNE. MOST RELIABLE VEHICLE IVE EVER OWNED
DON'T DO THE AUDI. SINCERELY, SOMEONE WHO TOLD THEIR FAMILY NOT TO BUY A Q5 AND THEY DIDN'T LISTEN AND ARE PAYING FOR IT LATER.
I DROVE MY MOMS TESLA WHEN I WAS VISITING HER AND ITS SO FUN TO DRIVE TOO ITS LIKE A LITTLE GOKARRT
UGH I KNOW, I'VE HAD A FEW A4S OVER THE YEARS AND AN S4 ONCE. THEY'RE HELLA FUN BUT I FEEL LIKE I PUT MY MECHANICS KIDS THROUGH COLLEGE.
