Was nearly side-swipped by an Accord flying off of an offramp. It was already damaged pretty bad. The guy continued ahead of us swerving all over the road and twice went over the curb and spun out in the grass along the roadway. My wife called 911 while I continued to drive.

Well done sir!  I love your restoration/repair updates!

Classic 50s Drive-in in Norman, OK.  Double cheeseburger with Cajun fries and a 44oz slush we’re a regular.  Sonic built a store right next door but no one hardly went there.  They tore it down and built one further down the street.

I have a ‘17 Mazda 6 and this is the only instance I have had false alarms.  It usually just flashes the brake warning but it has applied the brakes a couple of times.  I realize that the system doesn’t k ow the car in front is turning and it’s my fault for not slowing down.

Now playing

While a V10 with the gate manual would be ideal the V8 would be pretty awesome too. Back in 2014 I did one of those supercar track things and the R8 they had was a V8 with an aftermarket exhaust. Watching it go around the track it sounded amazing. Sounded good in car too but the video I got doesn’t do it justice.

That Big Red Sports and Imports sticker takes me back! This dealer in the 80 and 90s sold Porsche, Ferrari, and Izuzu! Now it just sells Kia. I remember going there to window show and a salesman trying to talk my dad into buying a Ferrari 400i (it had 4 seats so it was a family car!). I think they wanted $20k for it.

Not cool.

Haha, yeah! It is handy though. I do miss that from our Odyssey. Replaced it with a MDX and it doesn’t have that.

eh, they are pretty small so it’s not that distracting in the vehicle.  Honda places theirs inside the window at the base of the mirror so it isn’t visible outside.

God, what a sad and ugly car!

Cx-9 is great but the MDX is a bit roomier and has far better seats in my opinion. We shopped both and ended up with a used MDX.  It has been a great vehicle.  Acura maintenance prices are a bit higher than Honda but most things you can get done at a Honda dealer or a 3rd party.  That 9 speed ZF transmission fluid is

Anyone else notice that the Clarion head unit matches the burl wood?  Classy!

I wonder if they sold a ute version in Australia?   Maybe you could even get two of them.

I’ve always had a good experience with Nelson Mazda in Tulsa (they have one in Norman, OK now as well). They even have an internet sales team. I have bought 6 vehicles from them and always had a good experience. They have always been in person but I can’t imaging them treating phone/internet buyers worse. Ask for Eric

$60k+ for a fully loaded one!!!

This reminds me of our search a year or so ago.  Wife decided she didn’t want to drive a minivan anymore so I started looking for 3 row crossovers.  Che liked Highlanders, Pilots, Santa Fe’s, maybe Explorers, but anytime I showed her an MDX she would say no.  I showed her good deals on used MDXs multiple times, always

Oh well, oh well

I’m not sure which was the sadder story from Buster Scruggs. The quadruple amputee or the Oregon Trail one.

They couldn’t remember the best car in the world.
