The good news is Waze now reports roadkill. On our drive down I-16 last weekend we knew exactly where every dead deer, dog, opossum, and armadillo thanks to the wonders of social networking or whatever Waze is....

I’ve actually witnessed the sunroof fly off a Mitsubishi. I was on I-24 in Tennessee when what I think was a Lancer flash past at least 25 mph faster than me. He got a couple hundred yards ahead of me when I notice something large, grey and shiny fly straight up off the roof. It hung spinning in the air for a moment,…

What happens when the all your grown kids and grandma and grandpa come over for a week at Christmas? Time to put a bag a flaming dog shit on the city council’s doorstep, ring the doorbell, and when they open the door you kick the flaming pile into their living room.

I get that it’s fully loaded. But I can’t imagine what they put on it that would be worth the additional 12 grand over MSRP. For 12 grand more it better have more than just leather, power seats, a sunroof, a thumping stereo and a useless nav system. My main point was the base car was really well appointed, drove very…

I test drove a base model 2018 Camry last month (buying a new car for my Mom, she got a Rav4 instead.) The base model was really nice with everything I could think of that I’d ever want on a car. I could have bought one for about $21,000 plus tax or less.

Here’s my question: How in the hell could they add enough stuff…

Mad respect for DG and his accomplishments.
That he (0r any other F1 driver from that era) survived is amazing given that we see in that photo no shoulder restraints, a roll bar so low I don’t know why they even bothered, and an open face helmet.

I’ve done the car ski thing when I was about 20 behind a friend’s FJ-40 Landcruiser. We had a blast tearing our the streets of north Cobb County, GA, passing more than one police cruiser along the way. To a man, the officers grinned and give us the thumbs up. Of course this was 35 years ago and the police didn’t have…

By your logic, the Toyota Avalon is the perfect hand-me-down car.

You have a point.

We got a letter from Toyota one day that said if our dash was cracked, they’d install a new one gratis. It took over a year for the part to arrive, but it eventually showed up and the dealer installed it. There was a broad ‘recall’ for melting, cracking, and sticky dash covers for a variety of Toyota vehicles…

Just bought a new car for my mom last month. One of my stipulation before signing the deal was that ALL dealer branding needed to be removed from the vehicle. I was please to see that they’d even flipped over the cardboard temporary tag when we went to pick the car up.

Our 14 year old Sienna that we’ve owned since new is simply the best car I’ve ever owned. And when Toyota replaced the cracked dashboard last year UNDER WARRANTY for free after 145K, it’s just like brand new inside. We’re going to buy a new truck next year but will probably keep the Sienna anyway just because it’s…

Hahahahahahahaha, whew! You’re funny.

If y’all want to keep sedans around then run out and buy one! I personally could care less since I’m never going to buy another sedan again.

I owned an ‘85 Aries wagon, just like that one. It was the car I was driving when I met my wife in 1988. It was my whitewater kayak taxi and always had a quiver of boats on the roof and a bunch of stinky paddling clothes in the back. The car pissed me off enough with its un-Relient-able behavior and it was replaced…

Whats worth more to the Ford Motor company? The increased profits from 1000 GT’s that they would get if they sold to all the highest bidders?

My nephew drag races about 15 events every year. His dragster is powered by a single cylinder air-cooled billet aluminum copy of a Briggs and Stratton. They race on 1/8 mile strips and speed/power is limited by age. In his 10-12 age group they are running high 8 - low 9 second ETs. The younger kids are running high…

You are correct. It was the 3.7. I was operating from faulty memory. I opened the hood to see what was in there and all I remember was seeing a big NA V6. Never the less, it’s still plenty peppy.

Siennas are probably the best minivan out there WRT to reliability. Our 2004 that we’ve owned since new has been terrific. It still drives and rides as new. Only thing we’ve replaced over the years has been brakes, tires, and CV axles. You might get 23 mpg highway and 17 around town, but the comfort and people-hauling…

Came here to say this. The Flex ticks all the boxes. I’ve got an Outback and it’s pretty good too, but the Flex has a lot more cargo space. I rented an AWD Flex with the NA 2.7 V6 for two weeks this summer. We had four adults aboard in complete comfort, the rear JAMMED to the brim with camping stuff, and still saw 22…

Another black hole for you. I condemn Long-Voyager in the strongest terms.
