#урбанист_купил_автомобиль, часть 3 (предыдущие: часть 1, часть 2).
Первые два поста по теме были об урбанистике и проблемах автомобилизации городов. Но этот текст скорее про выбор гика. Расскажу, что за автомобиль, и почему такой.
Исходные данные: работаю удаленно, и ездить на работу не нужно (впрочем, я считаю, надо делать всё возможное, чтобы не пришлось ездить на работу на автомобиле). Однако, живу далеко от метро + дача там, куда не ходит общественный транспорт. Так что автомобиль нужен для коротких поездок по району, для поездок на дачу и для поездок по КАД/ЗСД, перевозки вещей и семьи.
При бесконечных деньгах, кажется, выбор гиков в пользу какой-нибудь Tesla X очевиден. Ну и ещё в добавок к ней дом с гаражом, где можно заряжать. При конечных деньгах (в моем случае ~2.5млн по старым ценам) пространство сужается. Выделил для себя три главных критерия:
1. Практичность для города и ближайшего пригорода, возможность перевозки вещей. Поэтому рассматривал только кроссоверы и внедорожники. Кстати, кто покупает в Питере седаны с низкой посадкой, можете парой слов обосновать этот выбор? Кажется, плюсов никаких, зато застрять в ледяной яме более чем вероятно.
2. Эмоции. Некоторые друзья автолюбители смеялись над этим пунктом. Но по мне так любая вещь должна обладать эмоциональной составляющей. Чтобы тебе кайфово было на неё смотреть и ей пользоваться. Поэтому я рассматривал только автомобили с интересным внешним видом, не слишком банальным цветом, и особенно с крутым интересным дизайном салона. Странно садиться в автомобиль и смотреть на убогие древнего вида приборы, миллион бестолковых кнопок и в целом унылый интерьер. Должно быть кайфово, а для гика кайф это хайтек. И ещё изрядно эмоций добавляет панорамная крыша, так что я тоже поставил это себе в список пожеланий.
3. Технологии. От современного автомобиля не только само по себе разумно ожидать некоторой технологической начинки, но она ещё и хорошо помогает новичку с небольшим фактическим опытом, как я. Так что только автомат. Адаптивный круиз-контроль. Радары и парктроники по периметру, камера заднего вида. В итоге получилось даже круче, чем я рассчитывал в эту цену, но о некоторых особенно прикольных технофишках я расскажу потом в других постах.
В общем, с этими критериями и ценой я прошёлся по каталогам всех производителей, кто возит (возил :'( ) в Россию. Не скажу, что ассортимент меня ошеломил. Кажется, по-настоящему большое пространство выбора есть только за большие деньги, от 5млн (по старым ценам) и выше. Но внезапно самое интересное для меня решение нашлось у французов: Peugeout 2008 и 3008. Последний меньше понравился по дизайну, а в хорошей комплектации выходил за пределы ценовых рамок, так что я и остановился на 2008, самая топовая комплектация 2022 года (да, путаница из-за того, что модель называется как год).
Интересный не слишком банальный дизайн. Не спорткар, конечно, но и не стариковская телега. Дизайн даже выиграл в каком-то европейском конкурсе. Довольно экономичный двигатель, 150 сил, но объём всего 1.2, мощность достигается за счёт турбины и электроники. Очень крутой высокотехнологичный салон. Много электронных наворотов: всё, что я хотел, плюс ещё пачка, об этом потом расскажу. В конце-концов, автомобиль в наше время это тоже гаджет.
Из недостатков пришлось пожертвовать полным приводом, тут только передний. Варианты с полным у других производителей не дотягивали сразу по ряду критериев. Впрочем, мне говорили, что на кроссоверах полный привод всё равно ненастоящий. А полный внедорожник очень уж дорого, да и большой по размерам для города.
Но мне очень нравится. Накатал 500 км, изучаю. И, конечно, кайфую каждый раз, когда спускаюсь в паркинг и когда сажусь в салон. Эмоции наше всё.

🚨 16-year-old, Yousef Kaabneh ascended to martyrdom, after he was shot and killed by the IOF near the town of Jiljiliya, north of #Ramallah.
Yousef ascended in defense of his homeland amidst the settler and IOF invasion of his land.
Coinciding with his martyrdom, settlers launched attacks on the western areas of Sinjil and Jiljiliya:
• Four Palestinians were injured — two by live fire and two as a result of severe beatings.
• Settlers looted approximately 700 sheep and agricultural equipment belonging to local farmers in the area under the protection of the IOF.
Glory to the martyrs.
The occupation released the activist Abu al-Sabe' Qatash who is now in critical health, bearing visible signs of beating and torture.
Qatash was detained hours earlier while confronting a settler attack on his village, Yabrud, in #Ramallah.

Ramallah's Revenge - The Ein Bubin Operation:
On August 23, 2019, comrades of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine rose through the ashes of Oslo, dismantling illusions of peace upheld by the PA's security services to restore the era of fida'i operations, tearing apart the false sense of security imposed by the occupation and its collaborators.
Near Deir Ibzi' in #Ramallah, five comrades executed a complex operation that resulted in the killing of an extremist rabbi and the wounding of two settlers, including an IOF officer, with a PFLP-manufactured explosive. The rabbi had hesitated greatly before entering the area, a natural water spring used by local Palestinian villagers, and called upon the IOF for protection.
The heroes Samer Al-Arabid, Yazan Mughamis, Qassam Al-Barghouti, Nizam Amter, and Walid Hanatsheh defied this illusion of protection, targeting the settlers strolling through land not theirs.
The operation was a significant blow, not just in terms of its immediate impact, but in its broader implications. It shattered the myth of the recently unveiled "israeli"-American "deal of the century," upending the occupation's plans for expansion and theft of Palestinian resources. The resistance demonstrated that even in the heart of Ramallah, a symbol of the PA's security cooperation, the spirit of armed struggle is alive.
This was not the first time that Ein Bubin witnessed the fire of resistance. The spring situated west of Ramallah is a microcosm of the larger struggle: In 2015, fighter and prisoner Mohammed Abu Shahin carried out a shooting operation there, killing a settler and wounding another. Zionists renamed it "Ein Dani" after the killed settler, but his memorial has been repeatedly destroyed by local Palestinians.
The Ein Bubin operation also highlighted the technical expertise and organizational capacity of the PFLP, which was and still is feared by the IOF. The occupation, hoping this was an isolated incident, soon realized that this was part of a larger, organized cell. Their panic was palpable as they resorted to brutal interrogation techniques and torture against the five comrades, but failed to break their resolve. The IOF abducted 40 Palestinians, mostly students and activists, and tortured many. In this time, the cell carried out two more shooting operations.
Samir Arabid and Walid Hanatsheh were subjected to extreme torture, with Samir's bones broken and Walid's legs and feet turning black due to abuse in 23-hour-long daily interrogations. Samir, accused of leading the cell, lost his hearing and suffered from kidney failure due to torture. Walid, along with Secretary-General Ahmed Saadat, was subjected to isolation and prison transfers in the summer of 2023 following the "Beitar Illit" operation.
More broadly, the "Ein Bubin" operation was a direct challenge to the socio-political order imposed by the occupation and its collaborators, at a time when operations were less frequent. The heroes reminded the world that the struggle for Palestine is not just about land but about dignity, identity, and the right to resist oppression. As the occupation escalated its efforts to crush the resistance, it became clear that the "Ein Bubin" operation had a greater impact, reigniting the spirit of resistance in a time of despair and proving the will to fight could not be extinguished by years of occupation or by the illusions of peace processes.
Further, the operation is a model of the revolutionary student fighter. In honor of the operation, the PFLP's student bloc at Birzeit announced heroic prisoner Yazan Mughamis as its chairman last year, as he was its Deputy Secretary in 2019. This coincided with a commemoration of the operation, where its heroes were honored under the model of "Intellect and Rifle."
The five heroes, their homes demolished by the IOF, now endure the occupation’s prisons, serving life sentences for their heroic acts, undeterred. Their legacy, however, proves that resistance is a continuous benefit, as students, fighters, and workers vow to continue their path.
🚨 The IOF arrested 6 children during a raid on the town of Beit Ummar, north of #AlKhalil, according to local sources.
Separately, the Palestine Red Crescent Society reported that medical teams are treating a 21-year-old man who sustained gunshot wounds to the thigh and back from "israeli" occupation forces fire in Birzeit, north of #Ramallah.
