2012 prius-c, physical air-conditioning temp knob, physical buttons for everything. Added CarPlay receiver, and it's the perfect vehicle. No electronic "syncing" to be done. Just works.

So weird because as a kid, I would rent these video games day 1 from the local library… free of charge.

What is the issue now that they are retro. Shame.

Thankful to have all mine.. back… up… and running.

anything worth value, is 3 > 4 years old, and all those users are "deleted".

if google and duck duck go stop indexing old.redd, I'll probably never see it again.

I said this above, and more needs to be said. Insurance companies have raised the rates of basic, liability only, for a salvage title car, by more than 70% increase in the last 3 years. $440/6mo > $770/6mo.

This is an attack on all motorists in a way I’ve never seen, and a further attack on new car owners who are unwittingly being sold these cars by car dealerships.

Financially attacking everyone for two car models that have been designed to be targets of “model”, and to allow children to make a mess of their futures. What leverage can we possibly have against this exploitation?

Was going to say, it seems as though people in Japan, just use tech differently.

all the people that imagine their home prices are as high as they are, will fight tooth and nail to prevent this. the empty house market is crazy, just look on a "social home sharing site". houses are hotels for the few.
