He’s probably pushed all of them away, too.

I've said it time and time again but, you choose to ignore...time and time again. It isn't nearly as bad as the internet will have you believing. Gullible people, like yourself, will easily cling to flashy headlines that suit your fancy. Cool, you found a picture on the internet! You don't have the balls to do this yourself and record it.

Do you think the world revolves around you or something? You think everything you blabber requires a response? Literally nobody here *wants* to read your non-stop crybaby bullsht. Yeah, the world isn't perfect. Is this new to you? Did you just wake up in 2025 and realize the world is $h! or something? People, like yourself, who obsess over politics are the most insufferable people. All you do is complain, complain, and complain some more. You're turned into such a miserable human being.

What does @oldshurst442 and Donald Trump have in common? They both know how to drive a business into the ground.

Just another day in America, whooping those "elbows up" canadians. Maybe get your elbows a little higher next time.

I love how much Olds hates everything America (including all of the people), yet speaks exclusively to Americans on this forum.

The rear is homage to the original FJ Cruiser.

Really?!? I think it looks awesome for a small CUV. It looks like a modern, mini FJ Cruiser. Considering (nearly) everything else this size is a rounded mini bubble, I think this box looks pretty dang cool.

You know it's going to go on sale in the US, right? Every major publication is saying it'll be here in early 2026.

My response was to David, not Horse. It was specifically to the line "... the real world is doom and gloom if you go into any major city with Federal buildings." They're all real alright. REALly good at scamming people into giving them their money for the promise of hopes and dreams. Let's just overlook the "real" religions that absolutely certainly do not have issues molesting children.

News flash, buddy. They're all fake.

No argument from me there.

That's kind of my point though. "any major city with federal buildings" and it certainly isn't the case. Again, I'm sure it is the case in some cities, but it isn't a blanket statement that's true.

Maybe they're going to the Firestone in the background to fix...everything... 🤣

Thank you for all of this and I'll have to do some digging when I get home tonight to said laptop. All I really know is it's a Microsoft OS and probably about 6-8 years old at this point. Believe it or not, I used to actually kind of pay attention to computers and the specifications that mattered. I used to game some..

Again, not true. I literally work directly across from a federal building in STL and that is not the case. I'm sure the one in Seattle is that way, but you can't just blanketly cover every Fed building as the same.

Get off the internet for awhile. The real world isn't nearly as doom as gloom as scary headlines make it out to be. The internet does a good job of making the real world look a lot worse than it actually is. Just live your life and control what you can control.

Oh i completely agree with buying quality once and "be done" with it, but I have to be able to justify buying a $1200 laptop for using Microsoft Office Suite and the internet. Neither of those things really necessitate much hardware requirements. How do I go about wiping it clean and starting from scratch? I know how to save things externally so I don't lose certain documents. I just don't want to lose the Office Suite if I don't have the right stuff to reinstall it. I don't know how or when, but there is so much BS running in the background and it's only ever been used for college classes things and Office Suite items.

I do really need a new laptop (or somebody to clear it and start fresh), but I don't use it enough to justify anything close to this price.

I can't imagine this will last. They HAVE to revert back. This is such an idiotic decision.

Were you expecting 50's/60's pricing to come back or something? I don't understand your comment. Also, I do believe it was said that it will get worse before getting better.

Sub 60db really is pretty dang quiet. I guess when you spend a grand on a unit, it ought to be quiet, too.

Exactly. It completely contradicts the whole "EVs are simpler" idea. And now you'd have another ICE to maintain, hahaha.

One of my better friends and his wife wanted a Transit Connect for the same exact reasons you just listed. He hasn't gotten one yet, but the hold up was the prices of used ones. apparently they hold their value pretty well and you'd be buying a fleet one from somebody with a ton of miles. He said it just didn't really seem to make sense, at least yet. If I'm camping, give me the CO2 of the F150 hybrid over the noise of a generator. There's little worse than ruining the quiet of nature with a generator running for hours.

I think it is safe to assume that @A Horse With No Name is not looking to spend millions on an RV... That's a pretty silly comparison. I thought a major point of going EV was not to have yet another ICE to maintain and carry gas around for..? If you're worried about going places that don't have a charging infrastructure, why not just save the thousands of dollars up front and just buy an ICE/hybrid and then just not worry about this situation? Get an F150 hybrid and you have a 36 gallon generator that will last you so much longer than a portable generator on top of being near silent, compared to any of the loud generators you listed.
