I too, would eagerly welcome the return of the Subaru Baja, because I've long thought (especially nowadays) the brand could use a compact lifestyle pickup truck in its lineup...but I highly doubt that will ever happen here on our shores.

On test this week, Subaru's 2025 BRZ tS! This is actually my second go in the more athletic tS, which I first evaluated in late November of 2024. I adored this car then and I'm sure I'll adore it again now. And! Subaru outfitted this tS for the winter with Bridgestone Blizzaks and rubber mats inside

We were a bit surprised to see in our latest Future Attribute Demand Study that EV intenders (those who will not just consider, but actually intend to buy one) are actually now more likely to be Republican than Democrat. Specifically, 43% of EV intenders are Republican while 36% are Democrats.

What was I doing in Bellingham? Why, picking up this 1980 #Cadillac Coupe DeVille, which replaces the sadly departed Skoda. The flat light doesn't do this color justice, but I was in a hurry yesterday. It ticked over 64,000 original miles on the way home.

During 1969 the 2.5PI adopted the attractive facelift penned by Michelotti to update his earlier design, with this brochure also showing the estate car version. British Leyland allowed the troubled 2.5PI to continue until 1975, before it was replaced by the more conventional 2500S.

So I'm a trained medical first responder and ski patroller. It is insane how when we're working on a patient...oftentimes they're more concerned about finding which hospital will or will not accept their insurance, or how much an ambulance will cost them, than the injury itself.
That's America.

Trump: "Construction jobs are way up, right? Well, they're up because they're building all these factories all over the country. You have car plants under construction. I spoke to Mr. Toyota in Japan. I said, 'What's you name?' 'Toy-ota!' I said, 'If your name is Toyota you're a very rich guy.'"
