    CVT transmission

    I have a 2014 ford fusion energi hubris with CVT. No issues at about 70k miles. I find it to be far more responsive when accelerating compared to the new 8 speed cars I just drove. No downshifting or hunting for the right gear leads to a much more pleasant ride.

    Cheapest way to build a hangar

    The building code is going to dictate the structure so that it stands up in the wind and snow and is safe. Making it look nice usually costs more.
