Although it may imperil my citizenship, I have to tell everyone that I have never owned a pickup truck. Not even a trusty little Ranger, which is so small these days to practically be a compact economy hatchback. Sure, I've thought about it. Everyone loves the image of the truck-drivin' person, going back and forth to Home Depot in order to place one (1) length of 2x4 in the bed at a time.

Thing is, I've never really missed having a truck. Vans and wagons are where it's at, because I can get the aforementioned 2x4, and then make an ill-advised stop at the local diner without worrying about it raining on my wood. Or fear of wood thieves, which are rampant in my part of town. Or anxieties regarding the exposure of the wood to too much sun, which will cause it to warp. Basically, the plank is safer with a roof over its head.

In recent weeks, however, I have found one (1) thing that I want a truck for. No, it's not hauling livestock, or picking up spare engines from the junkyard, or even having an extra place to park tiny British cars. What I'm missing is the carwash experience.

When you collect as much worthless junk as I do, sometimes that junk is very dirty. The last thing I want to do is spend time cleaning that junk, because that uses up valuable time I could otherwise be spending acquiring more junk. With a truck, you can simply leave that shit in the bed, and drive through a carwash with it. The carwash washes the truck (probably needed to be done anyway) and the junk at the same time.

The only problem with this is that trucks cost actual money. To avoid this, I've decided to make do with my van. I've started just opening the door to my van whenever I visit the car wash around midnight and spend an hour guessing the door code. "Touchless" it isn't, but you can't deny that the seats and carpet are also super clean and smell much better than before.

Mercedes-Benz 190E Stadtwagen, 1980. During the development of the W201 series Mercedes experimented with a short wheelbase (222cm) version for use in the WRC to compete in rally championships alongside the 190E saloon. It was felt that the compact hatchback would be more successful on tougher courses that demanded greater agility than the saloon was capable of. However Mercedes withdrew from the WRC in late 1980 and the project went no further.

Re: Subaru

This is good to know. i've always thought regular suvs seemed cartoonishly large so perhaps a subaru would be a goldilocks situation. it could also add to the butch vibe. i appreciate your car knowledge greatly

Basic guide to Subaru SUV-like things:

Forester: basically a normal compact SUV

Ascent: basically a normal full size (or rather, way too fucking big) SUV

Outback: SUV guts in a station wagon's body at first, but has become more SUV like over time. Basically a long and low compact SUV now, excellent cargo space without being an unwieldy car, excellent AWD, and enough space to sleep in the back.

Crosstrek: Outback with a bunch of trunk space sawed off to make it completely sedan sized.

Impreza: crosstrek when it fully metamorphasizes into a hatchback sedan, but still keeps AWD and some stuff like that

I think there was some news of them fucking up the lineup completely for coming years, so be wary. I think the rumor was that they're discontinuing the Ascent, but then sizing up the Outback to basically be the Ascent in the next gen. The logic is that full size SUVs sell well in the US, moreso than the fucked up chimera (said with love) that the outback is, but the Subaru Outback is like their flagship SUV model with brand recognition so they want to keep that as the name instead.

Idk. I could be wrong. I'm wine drunk. It's a local Cab Sauv, nice stuff. Yet another advantage of being a Cali girl, there's a scrap of wine country everywhere.

Linked Universe Monopoly - Intro

Edit Because I forgot to add it: Part 2 Here

(Doing a round of Monopoly with some Computer players for New Years tonight, so I decided to name them all after the boys lol. Figured it'd be a good time to get some writing practice while I daydream about the interactions!) (Will try to update in real-ish time over/after how long it takes to fully play as fast as I can write it all out lol. Apologies for the resulting rushed/poor grammar)

Legend grumbled as he hurried his car down the main stretch of road, grabbing a handful of fries as he did. He was thankful that the gang had invited him to their New Year's party after all that had been happening, but a bit malcontent with the when and where. It was already dark out at 4:30, and there was too much traffic for what otherwise would have been just a regular Tuesday, and of course it had to be all the way out at the Ranch. He was primarily lucky that he was able to get out of work in time, knowing that traffic to the countryside on a night like this would have just gotten worse, and that any restaurant he wanted to hit might have been closed, though the latter appeared to be accounted for.

Now past most of the congested commercial part of the suburbs, Legend signaled right onto one of the residential side streets, muttering to himself about one of the minivans in the left lane that he felt was boxing him in. He sped himself down the narrow residential streets, occasionally making note of some of the Christmas displays that lit up the sidewalks as the Suburbs likewise began to pass. Reaching empty fields and tree lines, he came to a stop at a T intersection, and after a brief dejection about the oncoming traffic, he turned left and flipped his brights on. The road continued straight for a while before it began to curve uphill to the right, further isolating him from the well-lit city he had just driven through. Illuminated with nothing but reflectors and barricaded highway chevrons, It came to an end about a mile or two up, right at the Ranch's mailbox and gate to the gravel road, which had been freely left open for him.

He slowly proceeded up the hill as the house and stable came into view. From there he could see everyone else's cars already parked by the front door, as the porch lights illuminated the completely black abyss that was the Ranch at this hour. But yep, they were all here. Wars' Sedan, Four's Compact, Wild's mechanical hodge-podge that barely resembled the "Jeep" it was supposed to be, and one of the guy's trucks, either Twilights' or Time's, He couldn't tell. He didn't see Hyrule's Hatchback yet, but he suspected that Sky, and most certainly Wind, had car-pooled. Pulling his coupe up behind the truck, he killed his lights and engine, grabbing his two bags and two drinks of dinner between his arms.

He opened his door to the blistering darkness; and Fuck, it was cold. While the snow and rain that fell before Christmas had all melted, the cold remained. It was supposed to fall below freezing that night, but the wind hadn't picked up, which was good news for tomorrow, aside from the anticipated flurries. Elbowing the door shut, he walked with the bags under his arms up the front step and to the front door. Once again assuming his welcome, he grabbed hold of the handle with his right hand and opened it to a blast of forced air heating and warm yellow lights.

Wild and Four were on the couch directly in his line of sight, but it was Wind who peeked his head up from the front sofa on his left and welcomed Legend with a smile.

"HEYYY! Legend's here!" He chirped enthusiastically. Legend responded with only a huff, as his cold and tired body yearned only for the food he had bought.

The other two looked up at him; Four first, and with a look of disapproval. Warriors now also reared his mug from around the stairwell.

"-Did you stop for food BEFORE coming to a New Year's Party?" Four oh so warmly welcomed.

"You guys didn't exactly tell me what your plans were, and I didn't feel like driving 20 minutes after work in the dark without at least SOMETHING to eat!"

"After all our Champion has done to prepare this meal for us, you've decided to be ungrateful before you even showed?" Wars snarked, which he then complimented with a pat to the shoulder. "That's a new low even for you!"

"Oh, Shut up, you twit. As if you ALSO didn't grab lunch out today!"

Knowing he had already won, or that perhaps he was also guilty, he lowered his left from Legend's back and simply smirked.

"Hey Malon! Legend's Here!" Wind called.

Her head also peeked out from the half-wall in the kitchen, as she too offered a smile.

"Well, Hey there! We were wonderin' when you'd show! I heard ya had work today?"

Legend sighed.

"Yeah, and let's not talk about it." he dejected, dropping himself onto the couch next to Wild. He wrapped his bag of food up and set it on the end table, in defeat. With the real food prepared, his sandwich was to be reheated later, and the fries were likely to be sacrificed to a lukewarm fate. He retrieved his phone and began loading his weather app as the others continued their small-talk, primarily Twilight talking to what must have been Sky in the kitchen with the dishes, and Wind who was shifting his attention back and forth between Wild and peering out the window.

"Food should be ready soon 'nuff! Hope you boys worked up an appetite!" Malon said in earnest.

The other four heroes shot Legend another judging glare, which he again ignored. Checking the temperature, he saw it was an even 32 outside. Typical; Now it was time to check socials. This was about when Wind began to peek out once more, this time in response to the glare of approaching lights.

"Is that Him…? YEP, ITS A HATCHBACK! HYRULE'S HERE!!!!!!" he nearly squealed. What a shrill little child, Legend thought, but now at least someone he could appreciate was here.

The Young teen eventually made his way into the foyer, his large and furry winter coat rivaling that of Twilight's daily tunic, and conveying a snowy wonderland that didn't presently exist. Wind went up to greet him, and likely 'award' him.

"I hope I'm not too late!"

"You're the last one here, congratulations." Leg sneered, with Wind also quipping something snide.

"You're perfectly on time." The old man remarked as he came into view of the living room guests, with his descendant in tow. "Dinner is just about ready, and the table is set, so make your way over."

Wind dashed around the quickest, followed by Wild and eventually Hyrule. Four sat up and followed behind, as Wars also began his slow approach.

"…. You really going to commit to that couch, and not a home-cooked meal?"

"I'll make it there on my own time. Buzz off." He snarled, refusing to look up from his guilty catharsis of reading Ravio's sappy fluff on social media.

"Well, that 'Time' is now, so if you want something worthwhile, you better get yourself up. Unless YOU want congratulations for being last." He grinned before exiting.

With another mopey groan, he got himself up and finally shed off his coat; "Staying a while" as Malon remarked. Making his way to the dining room, most everyone had already assembled behind a chair. The dark wood table, ornately decorated with blue and white china, lit up the similarly well-kept and immaculate dining room. Dare Legend say that this arrangement was better than the Christmas dinner last week?

Everyone besides Sky, who had already taken his seat apparently, now began to take their own. Malon and Wild paired up to bring the serving dishes out, while the boys in turn settled them on the table. With a prayer of Thanksgiving and well-wishing from Time, the boys all began to dig in. The food was all passed around for serving, then again for seconds, and for some even thirds, until most everything in the serving dishes had been depleted in less than a half hour. And as it was Wild who prepared it, believe me, It was good food. But in all due honesty, Legend felt it was nice to just have the 9 of them (plus Malon) sharing in fellowship together. Telling their stories, freeing up some pleasant secrets, and revealing certain other, more embarrassing ones. Of course jokes about the rabbit and his hair came up, as did his deflections to either Hyrule's cooking or Wild's more reckless antics, but the enjoyment remained shared.

Pleasantries and conversation continued well after the food was finished, as nobody excused themselves except to briefly retrieve another drink from the fridge or wash up their hands. Dessert was going to be a good hour or so away, so nobody really had anything else to do aside from socializing.

That was until one portion of their banter manifested. Wind, who had at some point followed Malon away from the table, returned back carrying a big box in his hand.

No- Rather- THE big box.

He and Malon had found the Monopoly.

EP82 Toyota STARLET

[NEW model introduction]

With 3-part mesh grill

Evolving into "Super Spicy GT"!

Announced and released on May 9th

text: Yasuyuki Morino

There's a saying that seeing is believing, and the shock of the new Starlet GT's mask is certainly indicative of this.

Its appearance, consisting of four round projector lamps and a three-part mesh grille, is so striking that it could pass for a new compact car from BMW.

It would not be surprising if the moment you open this page you exclaim, "Wow, so this is a starlet!" or "Seriously? This is a minor!" and receive cold looks from those around you.

The previous GT was sporty enough, with a special grille and bumper, bonnet power bulge, and roof spoiler as standard equipment, but the new model's impact is on a whole different level.

For that reason alone, expectations are high for the evolution of the internals as well. However, the performance of the 1.3-liter high-mechanical twin-cam turbo remains unchanged at 135 horsepower/16.0 kgm (125 horsepower/15.50 kgm in L0 mode), and there are no changes to the chassis specifications.

You might be disappointed and think, "Oh, no!"

However, since the weight of the car remains the same at 860kg (MT), the power and torque weight ratio is 6.37kg/ps & 53.8kg/kgm. This is a figure that surpasses its big brother, the Corolla FX-GT, and rivals the Civic 3-door SiR-II (6.18kg/ps & 65.6kg/kgm), so there is no room for complaint. The chassis is also the same as the previous minor

55 tires are standard, and LSD and triangle performance rods are available as options. It's a suspension that can stand up to turbo power, so there's no problem. In other words, the looks have finally caught up with the extreme contents, making it a truly "super hot hatchback." For those who value cool over speed, here is the inside and outside of the GT.

The Gi version, which combines the same equipment and a naturally aspirated engine, is also available as before.

We won't allow March to run away with the lead!!

The normal type, centered on the Soleil, also had its headlights and grille redesigned at the same time, giving it a cuter look. This has made it possible to distinguish between the sports and normal types of characters.

The design of the car has become clearer, but to be honest, I was surprised at how much they made in a minor change after four years. They even changed the tailgate brace to achieve a cleaner rear view, so the cost was not cheap.

Having come this far, it is unlikely that the next-generation model will be released within a year or so. It can be thought of as a measure to extend the life of the model for another two years.

For that reason, the new model also appeals in terms of color, with four new body colors and new seat and trim materials being adopted. Improvements have also been made to some of the mechanisms, such as improved performance on low-mu roads for the 4WD and improved vibration resistance for the diesel engine.

Furthermore, the lineup and equipment have been strengthened with the introduction of the Soleil Extra Package and S Sports Selection, and air conditioning has been made standard on the Gi, S, etc. (however, the canvas top has been discontinued).

Moreover, the boasted low price remains unchanged. The Soleil Extra Package is priced at 974,000 yen (3-door AT), which is about 50,000 yen cheaper than the 1-liter March i Z-F with almost the same equipment!

PIC CAPTIONS

●The 4 round headlights and 3-part mesh grille create a GT look reminiscent of BMW compact cars.
