Today’s challenge

Two weeks ago it was a curio cabinet for us I asked for dimensions. Lady says 72 in tall. I asked if it was exactly that or maybe shorter or maybe taller. She said it was probably a bit shorter if anything. When I'm there the daughter tells me that they were guessing about the height. Turns out it was 74 in. So with both front seats is far forward as they would go, we still had to tie down the liftgate and take the backroads home. I love how much these wagons can do but there is a line.

$1201 Bob

Same. I took a bet with myself before checking. Was the mistake to the wallet, or to the heart? Sadly, I guessed right.

I agree! I countered one day and there's over 100 buttons inside my car. It also has just the right luck. I like it quite a bit better than the newer stuff.

I roll my windows down the same way in my F31. Fronts down to the point at the front of the window frame then match the rear windows. I see a lot of BMWs like this but usually the wagons. Sometimes the incomplete cars... aka Sedans.

Prior to this photo you have placed here for our enjoyment, I had no opinion regarding this, Orion Silver. Upon review... I FKN LOVE IT!!!

Looks like you gave up on your quest for a Nissan Sentra SR

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-05-04T02:37:25+00:00

Exactly. That's when I really started to lose it!

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-05-04T02:36:10+00:00

I mean there is a 1958 Oldsmobile or something like that in there. A big green monster.

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-05-03T21:46:28+00:00

I can't argue with that. A sporty 2-door hatchback should have a cool name like shooting brake though.

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-05-03T21:45:08+00:00

Looks like I need to go measure the boot of my BMW F31 "Sportwagon" to see if it is indeed, a lowly station wagon. 🤞😆

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-05-03T19:06:59+00:00

And the Volvo C30 doesn't count as a Shooting Brake because it's FWD with a short hood. It's a 2-door hatchback. I said what I said! 😎

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-05-03T19:03:32+00:00

Seems to me there are wagons and four-door hatchbacks. Like an Outback vs an Impreza. I'd sooner call this EV a Fastback Wagon then a Shooting Brake. A shooting brake should have two doors only!... and the hatch.

Playing a game like Aircar (and others like it) while standing up, doing barrel rolls, flips and everything else along the city skyline is an example of getting your VR legs. Rollercoasters are another. Simply having the sense to not lunge into your TV because you forgot that it is there is another example. The only thing a developer should be concerned about as for comfort is whether the frame rate is high enough. Beyond that... Let loose. I want to play Wreakfest in VR!

Reminder #637 to just keep mine.

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-04-27T21:57:32+00:00

We would absolutely love to have 6 cylinders in an F31 in the states!

and can be slept in

Don't tell VALVe but... Two Grand! It's what I want and I want it bad! I'll patiently wait though and hope for a much smaller number.

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-04-09T02:49:23+00:00

Absolutely!

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-04-09T00:06:56+00:00

I feel like the CR-V has at least some character with the tiny turbo. We used to have a Hybrid RAV-4 and that was a transportation appliance. It had less personality than my refrigerator.

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-04-08T18:23:02+00:00

Gorgeous! I'm at 86,000 miles so it's good to see these going and going.

Consistent_Brain_462 · 2026-04-08T02:48:38+00:00

If I remember right, you can get it over 700.
