Trump says the United States does not need oil, gas, vehicles, or lumber imports from his allies to the north.

Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.

Minivans are the best. I own a DGC built in Ottawa. Reliable AF. Huge cargo capacity. Gets 21MPG on the highway. Basically use it as a truck, but it's way more practical than a truck because the cargo capacity is more and your stuff doesn't get wet when it rains.

Only real downsize is tow capacity.

I had a Honda Odyssey, it was a good (and powerful) all around vehicle, but I did not enjoy filling the tank. We drive a Fit now, average 35mpg city and 56mpg highway. Even filling that up bothers me lol.

The thing is I don't drive unless I'm carrying stuff, so a car without cargo space isn't useful.

I get it. That is the nice thing about the Fit, and its fold flat or flip up seats. We have put an 8 foot tree in it; 3 full size IKEA bucket chairs, 4 could have squeezed in passenger seat maybe.

Yeah, odyssey was like that. Super handy during Renos. I just didn't like the "fill'r up" price :)
