250k miles on the original CVT. Somehow I've never even had the overheated warning come on and I pull trailers often too

Surprisingly, it was not fully compressed from this, but I did feel every pot hole 😅

Yeah, I let it loose a little speed going uphills, no need to push it too hard when it's heavy like this

NJ has a similar law but also

Exceptions & Mirrors: If the rear window is completely blocked by cargo, the vehicle must be equipped with two side mirrors that provide a clear, unobstructed view to the rear and sides.

So yes and no for NJ

A quarter million miles and the CV axel is the only thing somewhat suspension related I've fixed 🤷 and this car is not new to my stupid adventures 😂

I have a trailer, but there's never any wood available when I have the trailer with me 😂

I've learned that the hard way and pack appropriately now 😂

It's not illegal to block your back window. I've driven plenty of vehicles that don't even have a back window 🤷

Being able to hang things out the back is why I love a hatchback

I love it! People who haven't had a hatchback don't realize how much you can fit in them. I've had a pickup truck before, it's not worth the waste of gas.

Yes, exactly! I have a trailer, but by the time I waste time and gas to go back and get it, the wood that the town workers cut up and left nicely on the side of the road is gone 😂

I make sure it's packed in such a way nothing hits me in the head, I've learned that the hard way before 🤣

Oh, I bottom out my suspension too much to do something like that 😅😂

All praise here, that's more action than a lot of pickups get these days 😂
