Again, gal.

And they do sell good-quality products. You just have to poke around online and in the store, and know how to shop well. Not everyone does, and that's fine. Mardens, Big Lots and the like are easier for those kinds of people. All you have to do is look and buy--no need for reading reviews or checking the box to see if it's in good condition, none of that. Simple buy and go stuff! And of course, for appliances, you have the Maine warranty OP mentioned to back you up.

If you don't believe that, then you're the one who lives in a delusion--a delusion where you suck the dicks of the small-box stores like they're gods in the sky. Which is honestly very sad.

Literally any FWD/AWD car with proper tires will be fine unless you live somewhere that doesn't plow. Bigger=safer is a lie made up by the auto industry to sell more SUVs since the 00s.

We have a Nissan Rogue, with all weather tires, it handles fine. Can’t go barrel assing down the road but I’m 62f and have driven it in the snow. Though if I had the money…I’d get another RAV4.

Honestly, in my experience having winter tires is more important than AWD anyway. Plenty of folks here survive winters with 2WD, any AWD vehicle you get is gonna be fine, particularly if you put winter tires on it, which you should.

(I recognize that's expensive, but in the long term it mostly evens out as your two sets of tires will wear more slowly than having one set on year-round.)

My wife just got a Trailblazer in February, and we've already driven it quite a few miles in the snow. It's really good! Very stable, and excellent traction. Pretty roomy inside. Fun to drive too!

Mainely Coffee is absolutely fantastic, and everyone from their company was so nice when we checked their booth out at a craft fair a few months back. They seem like good, genuine people who love what they do and they do it well.

I like farmhouse coffee roasters out of winterport, they're certified organic and have an amazing selection. Blind tiger coffee company is my second choice, believe they're out of skowhegan
