When Mother Nature has Cyclospora

I'm kinda suprised that none of you looking at or comparing hybrids haven't looked at or considered a Subaru Forester. Very roomy, reliable and starts at under $35 grand.
May not be as high mpg as some others, but a lot more versability....
My wife, a 4 time Subi Outback owner, has actually been looking at trading her 2018 Outback Touring in on one while it's still worth some decent $$$$ as a trade.
It's the one hybrid I wouldn't be against buying for her.

We did last oil change on my wife's 2022 Forester touring. Wasn't worth it with about a 3 mpg gain over hers plus it had the big ugly screen and sat a little higher making it hard for her to get in. Plus so far hers has been totally trouble free and comfortable. The CVT makes me want a truck with one.

" As of March 2026, the United States had 57 commercially operated nuclear power plants with 96 nuclear power reactors in 28 states "

Fear mongers are the biggest hurdle for bringing more NPP online in the US.

Look what happened at NY's Shoreham NPP.

"On February 28, 1989, Cuomo and LILCO announced a plan to decommission the plant, which involved the state taking over the plant and then attaching a 3 percent surcharge to Long Island electric bills for 30 years to pay off the $6 billion price tag".

Decommissioned Indian point also. Gianna up by me supplies electric to Florida now I was told.

Problem with CVT is they are limited to the amount of torque and payload they can handle, Subaru has one of the better CVTs - wife has a 2025 Outback XT and it is quieter and performs better than I had expected. In reading about CVTs - when they fail it's often catastropic and don't get rebuilt.
And yes we considerd a Yota Crown Signia hybrid and I will usually check reviews on car and driver for their instrumented tests and quite often hybrids they test at 70 mph don't deliver the EPA estimates, some fall far short and the Crown Signia was one of those.

Lots and lots of vids of landslides closing US 550 in the Ouray/Silverton area, and one of a vehicle stuck on Black Bear Pass.
