my body has had a tough life.
I've been extremely fortunate..I've done physical work my whole life..thrown 100/50lb. bags since I was 18..never had any back issues..or trouble with my joints..somewhat compromised rotator cuff issues..but entirely manageable with my own therapy...I can still run..(sprint)...I know I'm not 20 anymore...but I don't feel much different than I did @ 45

I've had a broken neck, around 7 blown discs resulting in spondylitis, blew out a knee, car landed on my head, and had a bad joint in my big toe that needed replacement. Probably more than this. So I'm turning into a mushroom.

I was paralyzed after a crash where they resuscitated me on the scene. Worked hard for a year and then did roofing for a couple of years to build back. I was carrying 2 bundles up the ladder at a time. I was told that I would never walk again. I had them bring me a trapeze bar for my hospital bed and was up moving within a couple of days.

my family figured I wasn't going to make it past 25. I've been in other shitshow situations.

weird thing is the broken neck wasn't diagnosed until years later.

how about interior room? Is it cramped? Legroom?
It is smaller than a Challenger. I am about 6’ and 200 lb. It is ok. The hatchback does not have the truck room of our cars. But I believe you could fold down everything. The front is fine, not as wide as the Challenger or Charger, but legroom and comfort ok. For the price this one has the non-leather interior. It has red stitching and it is not that bad. It is no high rent machine, so my expectations are down too. Good computer screen. Controls are ok. This hybrid would take some time to get all the settings etc right etc.

You could be the new hornet spokesman with your evaluation.

It’s not ugly in person
With Sport mode it’s not a POS
A great grocery getter at the right price. But 30% - 50% off is still not right

:ROFLMAO:
Regardless of what we think deep, just being honest and giving out the opinion.

how about places for cellphones and cup holders. that's a big thing for us.

I'm done with hybrids after the Tundra debacle.
