Have fun, and try to not close your eyes when landing.

Good point.

We definitely should not enjoy that amusing twist on a popular story, because it differs from the officially-sanctioned fiction.

That's cuz he's probably the one who did it.

So...

I have come to the conclusion that I need a different winter car. Now that I'm having to drive through tiny neighborhood streets which don't get plowed, the NB is finally demonstrating that it's no longer up to the challenge after any sort of decent snowstorm.

So I'm gonna buy a winter car.

Criteria here are:

1: AWD / 4WD.
2: Ground clearance.
3: Small, particularly in length.
4: An absence of largeness.
5: The property of not being long.

I've been able to come up with three cars which satisfy these criteria:

1: Suzuki SX4
2: Jeep Wrangler
3: Nissan Juke

The Suzuki worries me based on relative rarity, and thus, parts and service availability.

The Jeep... is a Jeep.

So that leaves one of the ugliest things to come out of Japan since Yoko Ono.

AWD Jukes seem to be plentiful, and I'm finding lots of one-owner examples with relatively high mileage for sale, which suggests decent reliability.

In this case, I'd be paying the extra money for a late-model (2016 / 17), lower-mileage unit, on the basis that it'll hopefully be the last winter car I'll need to purchase.

Yay or Nay? And why?

Oh, god yes.

The RAV4 is longer than LongCat, and LongCat is loooooong.

It's a matter of the garage. By keeping things short, it doesn't screw up my nice arrangement and workflow vis-a-via storage, the parking of the lawnmower and snowblower, etc.

WRX or other Impreza

Or Forester (if you got them there). But I also really like the Juke (and I mean that from a styling perspective)

I've thought about it. But at the end of the day, it's still 2wd.

And, to be honest, my NB doesn't have a lot of life left in it. The rust is starting to get pretty severe.

I kinda don't want to own a Jeep. That's an emotional judgement, not one based on facts.
