SUVs are just slightly modified minivans. Dont deny it because its a proven fact. Everyone only likes them now because they are a trend.

Well, I have a Jeep ... if anything it's a slightly modified station wagon. But in reality, it's a Jeep.

Anyway, things to look for are miles per gallon, engine type (an inline 6 is better than a V-6, a V-8 is bigger but will usually mean worse MPG). Also, check the tires, see if they're run flats or sport tires, or if they're just stock junk. Outside of those three things, everything else should be fairly obvious.

just make sure you know about the cars you are looking into, it would be horrible to be ripped off. the car that i like most right now are the brand new Mitsubishi Eclipses...or else a 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT w/ Twin Turbo.

yeah, the VR-4 versions of the Mitsubishi 3000GT's are very good cars, i like them better than new Eclipse's by the way

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for simply fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.
