Your Neighborhood Cannabis Shop
That's what it says on an ad coupon on the back of a local supermarket receipt.? The shop is up the street from me and was controversial because it was close to the high school.? It took over a rare bookstore that quit business.? The new shop was set up by the son of Congressman George Miller.? For the record I've never thought pot should be illegal anyway even though I stopped smoking it 6 months before I started TM back in the? 1970s.

CDs? ?What are those ?My Forester has a CD player in it but it's no longer connected up. The radio it went to I replaced with one that had USB, headphone jack, sdcard slots and EQ. Friends who visited a week ago tow around a new Ford SUV hybrid which seems to be nice.? They tow it behind a big RV that they travel half the year in.? They usually drop by in the spring but last year the RV was up in Oregon for maintenance and they spend their winters in the Phoenix area.? So they had to skip their usually travel through California to get up to Oregon for the RV which was ready in June. They also drove a Forester the same vintage as mine but they they got their first RV found it couldn't be towed due to AWD so replaced it with a Honda SUV. The one problem the Forester has is the driver side floor mats wear out too easily.? The design was poor to keep them locked down so I have to replace them with (much cheaper) mats found at Walmart that stay in place better.? The maintenance manager at the dealer said that those mats were the number one complaint from Subaru owners. |

开云体育CDs? ?What are those ?Speaking of bells and whistles… The car I had for 15 years? It was an Explorer, and I loved it, it was perfect for what I needed at the time. But as I was getting ready to trade it in, I realize there were any number of features I haven’t bothered to figure out yet because I’d never needed them. For the average driver, I think they include a few too many “extras” so they can use that as an excuse to jack the price up.

Re: Motor Car News
开云体育That's one of the great features I like about my Subaru Forester.? If you have the headlights on and shut the engine off the the lights go off too.? No forgetting the lights are still on when you leave the car and return to a dead battery.? There is a switch if you want some low beams on while in the engine is off that can be use in an emergency.On 5/17/21 9:23 AM, Emily Mae via

There are several things new cars just don’t have. First, simplicity.A friend of mine bought a new Suburu Forester with all the bells and whistles.? She loves that stuff.? Her husband refuses to drive the car.? He took it to work and ran the batter dead twice, mistakenly trying to manually turn the lights off and leaving the lights on.? She and I took it on our road trip to Big Sur recently; she would yell at Siri to play different music and Siri couldn't understand her or didn't recognize the group and so would continually repeat the reject phrase.? so irritating.? We ended up mostly playing the CD's her husband had put together for us.? Thank goodness the car had a player!? Ha.? ? I need a new stereo and speakers in the Jeep.?

Thanks.? I've been looking at this as a possible affordable replacement for the Jeep—if in fact, necessary.? I drove a 2010 one years ago as a rental on a 10-day road trip through Utah and was surprisingly impressed with the way it drove and the interior layout.? It has a comparable engine size and cubic feet of cargo space.??We recently traded in our Dodge 4x4 Ram, which we needed when we actually had a farm and I had to haul a horse trailer, for a Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk.
