    How do you guys regularly do surveys? I'm on the first Rhys section and want to shoot myself in the face. I couldn't make myself do this crap everyday.

    2016 Crosstrek. I like it. Decent fuel economy - I get about 35 highway and 27 city - which is pretty at least somewhat decent. It's great in the snow. It has decently high ground clearance, which is great for me because I like camping in the woods and going through shitty roads and stuff. Also has the crossbars on the roof for tugging my kayak around.

    My one complaint is the CSV transmission. It's really boring. It's also quite slow and underpowered - I don't imagine I could tow much with it.and it struggles getting up to speed somewhat. It's not a particularly "fun" car by any means.

    It gets the job done and I'm satisfied though.

    Surveys are all about the timing. Try to save them for those times you feel you are just no good at all.

    I don't really like them, but I cherry pick and don't have a huge buffer to do large batches.

    Monster battery of surveys that take some 3-6 hours to get through from what I've gathered. export here:
    https://turkerhub.com/posts/348158/
    3 day timer and it's posted at least a few times so many people have been catching it with pandas. Also of note that RA got rejected for doing the $53 version too quickly, so if you get it, don't power through as fast as possible in one sitting

    I probably do <5 a week and it seems like pulling teeth sometimes. Some people I see doing them every single day and it just seems crazy too me. I would go insane.

    My wife is the main driver of the Mazda, I have a nissan titan but drive a mazda protege as a daily for the fuel difference. Biggest thing towed by current crossover is a teardrop camper (T@G little guy). How is the road noise in the crosstrek?

    It's decently quiet as far as I'm concerned, but I got the car after driving a VW diesel and that thing was loud as fuck - so I wouldn't be a good person to ask in that regard.

    I don't do surveys everyday but I can't not do them because they pad numbers so nicely. I'd say my biggest gripe about them is it takes forever to get to my first $10 with surveys. Once I have a batch come in I ditch surveys until either the batch dies or my attention span drains

    I basically only do surveys, because I can't ever find anything else?

    (Not the actual pear)
    I just ate a red pear. I'd never had one before. Anyway, it kind pretty much tasted like a regular pear except slightly more tart. Not 100 percent sure, I mean, might have to eat both at once to make sure, but that what I can tell so far.

    Anyway, just thought you should know.

    This too much reminds me of those holiday HITs where you had to describe fruits and vegetables

    Let me revise that... yes, definitely way more tart. You taste it the more you bite. Also, I recommend NOT eating the seeds as they don't taste good at all.

    @Cambyreel

    Also, I really dig them as a company. I know this may sound lame, but I felt appreciated.

    After I bought it - I sent subaru of america an email telling them how I liked it and I couldn't wait to take it out camping and that I'll be looking into getting a kayak rack soon - They emailed me back telling me congratulations and gave me a $350 dollar dealership coupon so I could get the kayak rack.for free.

    I stopped eating seeds after I heard the one story about the dude and the jar full of apple seeds

    Yeah that's the sort of shit I mean when I like what they "promote". Their sappy family based commercials and contributions to different animal charities had me looking at them.
