USians: much of the rest of the world uses WhatsApp like you use texting because global cell carriers largely still charge per text. Even Mexicans are still buying data cards to fill the gaps between wifi hotspots.

Not OC, but I'll sometimes take 2 a day in the summer. I'm pretty oily. Showering in the morning is fine for my skin feelings through the day, but it means I'm oiliest overnight and my sheets will show it. If I shower before bed, I end up feeling uncomfortably greasy by dinner the next day. So, two showers keeps me feeling acceptable. Summers typically hover around 30C and 60%+ humidity for two months, on top of additional outdoor activities.
Or, I guess, shortest alternative answer, I know several people that shower right after morning exercise and are otherwise night showerers.
Yes. Donut, of Donut Media, the car-focused entertainment group partnered with this project.
Car enthusiasts seem to get away with alternate plates around me. Sometimes plates from the manufacturer country, sometimes decorative plates resembling the local jurisdiction but being the car's name or year/model. Either there's nothing specifically against additional plates that are clearly "novelty" items or my local police just don't care. Now, if they're legitimate government-made plates, I'd bet you'd run into issues.
I'm sure you could add something that expands your plate info, but I can't see a solution that keeps your true plate visible (to avoid direct police activity) without also keeping your actual plate number as part of the character string associated with your vehicle. I do recall reflective letters being sold at one point to defeat standard speed/light cameras (plate is reflective by default, characters are not). But, still, with all the extra details the system logs with y/m/m/c, stickers, attachments, and damage, I regrettably don't see this being especially effective. But, I suppose, it has a chance to keep your unique vehicle unassociated with government records.... For now.
Maybe I have bad digital attention span but whether it's educational books or documents at work, I'm much better at retaining and locating information in paper. The physical register of the document location, location of information within the document, and location on the page gives me a fuller memory of the info.
Hey outlook, can you save all 15 attachments to this folder? The 15 attachments I can view in outlook? The 15 attachments that drag and drop out of the email into a folder as expected? The 15 attachments that I can individually save as expected to a folder?

What's wrong with hatchbacks for you? Is it just the appearance? Genuinely curious. Toyota Crown is a fastback sedan, although it's quite tall and I assume the rear glass is a liftback.
Tire size has little to do with actual clearance. You should really go check the stats some time. Comparing the 2000 to the 2025, the 2025 gains ~1" of ground clearance and less than 1" of tire diameter. 701mm vs 724mm. You're seeing bigger rims, not bigger tires. So the 2025 pits the body just 1/2" higher from the axle than the 2000.
You're comparing a new vehicle's modern features and design elements, features and elements found across the Toyota and national market, and thinking the new vehicle is simply better than the old one.
Yes, I literally said the old ones were essentially lifted corollas. The part you skimmed over was that the current RAV is now closer to the Camry, including bumping up to the Camry platform.
This entire thread is about the bloat of vehicles. You have touched upo so many unrelated tangents. They bloated an economy trucklet into a an offroad cosplayer to skirt government regulations. That is the whole point. The 8.1" minimum ground clearance and steep approach/departure angles and AWD get it to class as an offroad vehicle while increasing risk of pedestrian death due to blunt frontal shape.
Nobody said the new RAV is a bad car.
There is a whole planet of cars outside your dealership.
There's thousands of Rav4 owners that love their older vehicles to death. The 3 "tire on the back" generations. Your single bad vehicle is anecdotal. Trade in? One of the most resellable vehicles in the market? I bet you the prior owner knew it was bad.
The current Rav4 is bloated. It started as a lifted Corolla with a taller roof and 4WD. Its been bloating rapidly for 10 years and is now closer to the Camry, going so far as to jump platforms. It's now within 1" of the height and length of a 94 Explorer while being 3" wider. Just because it's smaller than a current Explorer doesn't mean it's not bloated. You have a comfortable commuter car that Toyota reports is an offroad truck.
After almost getting hit twice by a driven Tesla while walking in a lot, the guy parked it in a handicap spot with no placard and speed walked into the store. Upon exit from a different door, the driver had it drive itself to him. I'm miffed i missed my chance to fuck with it because I didn't know what was going on. I was waiting, debating calling police for the placard issue (given there were multiple open spaces nearby). I decided to not get involved and drove in front of the tesla to exit. Weird, I noted, seeing the drl bar and left blinker on. Turns out, it was waiting it's turn to leave autonomously.
Fuck that guy. DoorDash vibe. 150ft walk.

No. By people who adapt their lane position to the situation, like cooperatively riding shoulder lines to not be mirror to mirror with a truck in the middle of a desert. By people driving vehicles that can't consistently pick a lane position. By people who have experienced the camera wrongly identifying a tight dashed line as a solid line and reacted aggressively. By people who have tried to fight lane assist politely, had the vehicle fail to allow it, exerted extra pressure on the wheel than should have been exerted at highway speeds, then had the system suddenly detect the input and relinquish control, jerking the whole car into the line or further. By people who've driven a system that picked a lane position based on the lines, came up to an exit lane cutout, had the vehicle glide into the new larger "center" and point off the road, then had the vehicle realize it lost the lines and relinquish control as you suddenly got pointed at the crash barrier, all in under a second (aka the Tesla method, disengage prior to crash, deny responsibility).
I have an older car (not a tesla, either) that has a system that stays disabled when I turn it off and isn't even a persistent lane assist, but more of an emergency drift correction system. I set it to vibrate the wheel without actually steering.
And I use my turn signals religiously.
