So I’ve played it through once and just started it over for a second playthrough on a PS4. There are some glaring flaws with textures, most notably with your hands dripping off to the floor. You can easily outrun the detailed textures and for the love of all that is holy, do NOT go visit Regina without hitting the,…

In 2013, we had planned to travel from Topeka, Kansas to New Augusta, Mississippi for Christmas to visit my wife’s grandparents. Due to the size of our family, and the luggage and presents we had, we had opted to take two vehicles for our trip. We stopped off for a few days in Dallas to visit my dad, step-mom, brother…

I’m partial to VW’s. My family has had 4, an ‘81 Rabbit convertible, an ‘97 and ‘09 Jetta and a ‘12 Passat. All have made it over 200k miles, and the ‘97 Jetta has over 300K miles when I sold it. We tend to by for the long haul, I drove the ‘97 Jetta for 16 years and we’ve had the ‘09 Jetta and ‘12 Passat for 7 years…

I’ve always wanted an Isuzu Amigo...

It has 17,000 miles on it, because it sucks!  Both versions of the Tempo were total shitboxes.

We have 5 kids (four have moved out, but only recently). We use to have minivans, but after moving to Texas in ‘04, we traded in our Mazda MPV for a used Suburban. We replaced that with an Excursion (we were towing a travel trailer) and once that was totaled another Suburban. By then the kids were starting to drive…

It looked like an Arizona tag, so either someone who isn’t used to hurricanes, or it’s a rental....

Their first model should be available for purchase in 2 years...

hat’s how the “in development” scam work, right? 

I had the 2.slo ‘97 version in 5 speed and it was fun to drive, just with the stock engine.  Now we have an ‘09 Jetta SE with the 2.5l inline 5 and it is absolutely a blast to drive.  The clutch is much tighter and the 2.5 loves to rev and has way more torque than the 2.slo had.

I’ve seen what hospitals charge for aspirin / tylenol. I can’t image what they’d charge for an axle or a set of tires....

As far as the Jetta is concerned, the engine choice can play heavily on the reliability. We have to similar aged VW’s, an ‘09 Jetta and a ‘12 Passat, but with the 2.5l. Both vehicles have somewhere around 170K on them. The Jetta has had issues with the MAF sensor, but the Passat has been trouble free. Our last Jetta,…

Is it just me or does the Equinox look live the modern Chevy version of the Pontiac Aztek?

My understanding of the first Gulf War (as told by a retired Bradley Sgt), was that the US M2's held their own quite well against the Iraqi armor, with their TOW’s.

It’s not round, it has a flat spot. I should have specified radially(?).

The center console goes back to the 2013 model and the door panels go back to the 2012 model. (The 2012 had a different transition from the dash to the console and the cup holders had an insert to adjust the size for your big gulp.)

But over all it’s a nice refresh. I’m still not sold on the asymmetric steering wheel…

We’re partial to Totino’s in my house. But we preseason the pizza with salt (a little), pepper, garlic and oregano and then place it in the still preheating oven and set a timer for 22 - 25 minutes. You get a crispy crust with a nice toast to the cheese and it probably allows some of the watery sauce to evaporate into…

I’ll go with the 33 year old Merkur XR4Ti.

For the past four years, we’ve had Netflix (T-Mo is picking up the tab now) and Prime (free shipping) and in the fall pay for Sling for college football. We have a couple of Roku’s with with additional channels setup. I prefer Netflix over Amazon simply for the interface.  I pick up movies on Black Friday at Walmart fo…

Like any manual steered car, it helps to get in rolling first.  But yes, Popeye arms would have helped. And it would have helped if it weren’t a single lane road with a ditch that you had to half pull into, just to get the ass end anywhere near pointed towards the door...

But it’s a chevy... So either the exterior is an eyesore or the interior is... And it’ll need a new transmission at 100,000 miles anyway.

I’ve had a ‘99 and ‘05 Suburban’s and an ‘11 Avalanche.
