Civics Camrys corollas all are fine. Ideal is a older subaru Impreza or legacy/outback.

when you compare their "purposes" to the declaration they don't really match up. read the declaration and then read their "purposes". they're different enough that something seems off and i'd be skeptical too.

The cops in Chester cost the town 50k for racial profiling. Then there's the cops in Bennington who failed to properly investigate hate crimes.
Vermont is one of the whitest states in the nation, and it shows.

Inclusivity = more people want to come here as tourists.

If anyone starts a petition to get rid of select boards all together I'd sign it in a heartbeat

What does it say about their virtues that they don't want to make a statement...

Wow. I get gas here from time to time and never realized there was a restaurant there. Thanks for this. Going to give them a try!

Not the smartest thing I've done, but years ago I drove for nearly 3 hours in a major blizzard, 2+ inches/hour, on all kinds of roads, treated and untreated, uphill, downhill, paved and gravel, and finally managed to power through the snowbank at the bottom of my uphill, unshovelled driveway (didn't make it all the way up the hill, but it was good enough) in a Toyota Corolla. I'm sure a Civic would do just fine too.

To my knowledge it was just that one 2.5 liter 4 cyl that had HG issues. The 2.0 or whatever else they run now I haven’t heard anything bad about

Their samosas are literally the best. They have a food truck as well that goes to the live music nights in town during the summer.

yes, good awd and snows is the cream of the crop for sure, we’re just inundated with groupthink/marketing that AWD is the be-all end-all.

Me thinks you mean fwd with winter tires better than AWD with all seasons.
I live in graniteville up a mountain and with winter tires our fwd cars always spun tires, clawing for traction anything above a 7% grade.
Awd with all seqsons is worse, was caught out on the first snowfall in all seasons, got em changed the next day.
However AWD with winter tires beats both scenerios. No tire spinning, no drama, just goes in all road conditions.

What a joke. A trans woman was murdered mere months ago. Milton residents staged a blackface parade last year(edit—looking for sources—may have the town or details wrong). Adult attendees of a South Burlington High School sporting event yelled racial slurs at the kids. If these people love a state, it’s the state of denial.

Hardest part of using an older vehicle for winter is the state inspection. Minor wear and tear accumulates and depending on the inspections station, you could be in for a hefty bill to pass.
On top of that some older vehicles were built to looser specs so brand new ball joints and leaf spring bushings have too much play for some inspections stations to clear you.
I had an old beater toyota pickup with high miles that ran great and had little rust. An older station would pass me no problem, but the new owners were not accustomed to older vehicles and wouldn't pass me.
Or just run without a sticker

Is there a place like this in Rutand? I seem to remember someone saying something about something similar in that area

Most Subies in that age range will have well over 100k and the HG issue will have been addressed. There are dozens of well qualified shops in VT that know Subies inside and out. They can tell in a NY minute if the HG has been repaired or needs attention.
Good cheap reliable ride for VT four seasons. The boxer 4 engine has remained largely unchanged for 40 years. They know a little about building good motors.
