Between that and store pickup, 100% yes. Sam’s is nowhere near as good as Costco on so many levels, but when I do need to shop there (to get things Costco doesn’t carry) the Scan and Go saves a ton of time and so does pickup.

1000% absolutely not. It’s an entirely different animal.

Correction... A 5th wheel is a type of towable trailer which attaches to a gooseneck mount in the truck bed. They are typically large trailers. I believe you are getting them confused with truck bed campers which sit in the bed of the truck (but can be quite large themselves).

Why? I guess YMMV here - our 36' gasser can easily do 90. Of course we’d need to bring a gas station with us, but still.

Ya, it always started out as stroller tetris, followed by a LOSING game of stroller jenga followed by copious amounts of f-bombs and generally making a giant ass of myself. Good times.

Star for you sir. The mere fact that they actively chose a Highlander shows puts them in the “uncool” column by default.

Was gonna pop in and mention the SE. But the Sienna interior is pretty terrible, not sure some funky looking leatherette would do much to help.

1: BTDT more than once with 2 and 4 wheels (both her’s and mine)
2: no thanks I left my beaters in the 90's
3: her 1st several cars were stick
4: she’d tell you to go fuck yourself, so why would I try that? LOL

This. Sure 4 seats will do - of course. But when the kids are really small, it’s a hell of a lot more convenient to not play “stoller jenga” or figure out what item you really want to have with you but will have to leave at home due to space restrictions. Minivans solve a ton of those issues. You will have plenty of…

I miss mine at times, but I am not unhappy that the time of my life when it really made sense is now behind me. I could have gotten a Sienna AWD for our frequent (weekly or more) trips into the mountains, but I really longed for something decent to drive while still having AWD and a modest boot (that was NOT a Subaru).

In my experience, yes assuming your flight isn’t like the next day or really soon. You need to go into your registration once you receive your KTIN and enter it. When you go to check in you should get TSA PRE on the boarding pass. Most airlines allow you to store your KTIN in your account profile.

I convinced my wife to enroll last year. Took her about 10 minutes to get livescanned and we paid the $85 (?) bux (mine is reimbursed via CC perks). We have 2 young kids so having precheck makes the always unpredictable length security line much less annoying when traveling as a family. Keeps already high anxiety…

I was wondering when all the crap that has gone down on sister sites was gonna creep in here.

Don’t fight the features - embrace them and incorporate them into your driving. You will be much happier.

Enterprise gave me one of these (not the Limited trim, though) when my DD was at the body shop recently. I went in with extremely low expectations - just 6 month prior Enterprise gave me a Ravioli and that SUCKED - so I figured the Hyundai would not be better.

I thought the answer to this “question” was Miata?

1000% this. I recently had an AM flight from LAS to another destination. It was morning on a Monday, as a properly functioning adult on a morning “commute” I was 1,000% awake, so you are damn skippy I left that window shade open and enjoyed the majesty of the Sierras/Yosemite/Mono Lake/ Tahoe/Lassen etc etc. It was…

My kid would spend an entire day playing if I let him. We don’t. But the shit he’s created during the time we’ve given him is fucking MIND BLOWING. He’s almost 9 but he's created an amazing world of structures, theme parks, baseball stadiums, skyscrapers and the list goes on and on. Shit has functional components…
