not sure really why he bothers with the whole ‘Dougcar’ thing

That’s how I feel about our ecoboost flex. It’s hilariously fast with 80s-supercar level acceleration and still wildly practical.

This is fair. If I pass before my wife, I may haunt her by perving on her in the shower. Or applaud after particularly vigorous sex. But I hope I wouldn’t begrudge her happiness.

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you were able to have that stability and joy afterward.

This is a great point, especially when you’re talking about POCs who grew up in mixed-race communities. I’m half black, grew up/went to college in a very mixed area, so is it any surprise that some of my dates were with white women? And is it any surprise that one of those dates worked out, we hit it off, fell in…

I completely, completely get this. We’ve gone through the same transition (I’m blackish, she’s white). I’m so, so tired of hearing that all the good black men have white wives, or that black men should marry women that look like their mamas.

Fleet does the flying, MI does the dying.

Sold my wife’s xB on CL pretty easily. Took a couple of weeks, and had a couple of nibbles first, but eventually got it unloaded cash in hand for $1500 more than what the dealer offered me in trade.

And some people have kids, pets, couches, cars, beds, rugs..

Bratislava?

Also why dad sold mom’s S4 at 80k miles.

3rd row in my wife’s 202" long flex is usable for anyone under 6', and comfortable for anyone under about 5'9". (I’ve squeezed back there at 6'2" but it ain’t easy).

Suggestions on where to start my homework?

$5k and it runs! With spare parts! Jesus.

I’ve always found the 944 gorgeous. Dreamed about owning one since they were new. But every time I came close something happened - lost my job, got a new one but then we had a kid, got that under control and we had another.

That top one is beautiful. If I only had the time and garage space..

Fiata Is Always The Answer

Activate trunk monkey!

Yeah, but it’s easy to blame the lawyers. Everyone hates them until you need one.

That’s too bad. My ‘08 V6 Accord coupe with a 6 speed is a fantastic daily driver. A common swap is the rear sway from an Acura TL, which helps a lot with understeer and cornering.
