Now focus on that..

What has Grifty done to facilitate your car purchase?
I bought my car primarily to celebrate Trump deporting mexicans back to their various and sundry home countries, and secondarily to celebrate the beaten and dilapidated state of my previous ride.

Great car, but why the **** were you driving sports cars? 

Let me guess - you love tickets and backaches?
 
The sportiest car I ever drove - briefly - was a Ford Maverick. 

My goal was always to be the invisible man - the guy the cops didn't even see. My favorite cars back in the day were a 72 Ford Custom with police package that I got second hand in 77 from the Water Department, and a 76 Ford Gran Torino I bought second hand in 1980. It had muscle, but the cops definitely looked past it as a family car. I drove that thing all over the country - loved the ride.

AI OverviewYes, tariffs will affect cars built in the USA due to the global nature of the auto industry; even vehicles made in the U.S. will see higher costs from imported parts and will likely face price increases, potentially impacting their affordability
. The 25% tariff on imported auto parts is especially impactful, raising production costs for all vehicles assembled in the U.S., regardless of the brand's origin
In a rare turn of events, AI is correct. 

Glad I bought when I did - damn near stole the thing at less than 26 k.

Subaru has always been good.

We have had good success with KIA.

Getting a 2025 for 26k$ is amazing.  Kudos
 
Car and home ownership are out of reach for the peasants.  China put electrics in reach of their people, but it doesn't  seem to help their economy  grow.

Transport is a critical feature of an economy.

Amazing an unpaid ATC hasn't  collided any jets in a shutdown. But the number of planes in the air may be decreasing  in a depressed economy  and the upgrade to virtual work brought on by COVID

I mean, I’m barely surviving out here… Yesterday, I had no choice but to buy my wife a brand-new car. 😩 Yes, a new car. With heated seats. And wireless Apple CarPlay. And a panoramic sunroof so she can gaze at the stars while I cry myself to sleep over the economic devastation.

Thanks to these tariffs, I had to endure:

A complimentary espresso at the dealership loungeA sales rep who called me “boss” 14 times
A 0.9% APR that felt like a slap in the face of fiscal responsibilityAnd worst of all… she picked the premium color. The one that costs $595 extra. I begged her to choose “dealer white.” She chose “Midnight Sapphire.” 😭

I’m not saying tariffs are ruining marriages, but I am saying I now have to park next to her car and feel inadequate.
Anyway, just wanted to warn the rest of you. If you’re thinking of buying a car, beware: Tariffs will force you to upgrade to the trim with the massage seats.

Stay strong out there.
Did you at least get a bj?

I gotta look into that lock mode thing. I hadn't heard about that - and snow is coming at some point this winter.
Subaru doesn’t have a traditional “AWD Lock” button like some SUVs (e.g., Hyundai Palisade), but they’ve got something even more strategic: X-MODE.What X-MODE Does
  • Enhances the Symmetrical AWD system by locking torque distribution and optimizing throttle, transmission, and braking.
  • Designed for low-speed traction in snow, mud, sand, and steep terrain.
  • Acts like a temporary AWD lock by maximizing grip and stability.
🚙 Available On:
  • Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, Ascent, Solterra
  • Dual-mode X-MODE on higher trims lets you choose between Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud
 
So, let's recap the Ignorance here...shall we.

Subaru Forester has "oops" bumps for the liftgate hinges.
Look at the roof panel rear edge and the liftgate. The hinges look like an afterthought.
Japs **** up **** too. :wave:
