I am by no means an expert, but I think Gustave may be an alligator.

You’re very right. How I remember it is that their names are sorta backwards. Alligators have snouts shaped like a C and crocodiles have snouts shaped like an A.

Crocodiles also have way more teeth visible when their mouths are closed, and they are a lot larger.

I miss my station wagon… I had a 99 Cutlass Ciera and it was the best car in the world right up until the transmission finally died 😭

Station wagons rock. My wife is an SUV type. I told her that her style is trash. If they ever bring back the Camry or Accord wagon, I’m so buying one.

That’s all they want to sell is trucks and SUVs. Ford doesn’t even make a car in the US anymore, except the Mustang. The Fiesta and Focus are just gone. They really tarnished the 3rd gen Focus name with that DCT. But trucks and SUVs just make them more money. There are only three choices of minivan here (Odyssey, Sienna, and Carnival) and if you want a wagon, you can buy a Volvo V60. But I’ve never seen one in the wild. Maybe the German luxury brands also sell a wagon here, but if they do, I have no idea they exist. Most of the time, when I see a wagon, it’s 20+ years old.

The US also has this fear culture that’s been going on at least since the 90s when SUVs really started to take off. I gotta be bigger because bigger is safer. That might be true when you run a red and cream a family of 4 in a Corolla, but most accidents involve a single car, and large trucks and SUVs are horrendous when they’re the only vehicle involved.

I was driving a Volvo xc70 with the flip up rear facing third row seats.

That thing was choice.

I could fit so much stuff and friends/family in it and the gas mileage was heaps better than an suv (not amazing but better).
I wish there were more out there being made.

Now I’m driving a Nissan leaf and when I got it titled it was listed as a station wagon which I thought was funny.

Gustave once saved my child from the maw of destruction.

I don’t actually have any children but Gustave managed to do it anyway.

Thanks Gustave.
