I’d say 2-4 for that age range. A 5 year old can generally be reasoned with to some extent. Plus tablets. tablets. tablets. People you need tablets. God send for flying with small children.

There’s kids melatonin that won’t knock them out, but generally calms them down. We’ve got it for our kids on a cross country flight. We didn’t end up using it, but check it out.

We generally keep the 1/3 portion of the middle row car seat free, which makes the in and out of the 3rd row not too bad at all. Plus once you graduate from straight up baby seat to booster it’s SOOOO much easily to get those seats in and out. It really has been much easier than expected to get 4 car seats in and 3…

I’ve got the 2014 Mazda/Ford version, so I haven’t had a chance to drive the newest ones yet. They do look premium. It’s interesting that you’d mention an Audi as the nearest driving experience to my CX-9 that I’ve had was a Q5 (which is clearly smaller and a Audi so that says a lot). Handling and overall driving feel…

I’ll give you a star even though I’m a 3rd row SUV guy. I honestly wouldn’t have minded the minivan that much. Use it for hauling kids, get something else for fun. But my wife is the one who absolutely hated the 1 minivan we test drove (Odyssey) and completely ruled out all minivans. The 3rd row isn’t that bad, plus…

Exactly. I posted the CX-9 as well. I’ve got one and it’s by far the best drive of all the bunch (sub $40k crossovers).

CX-9 - Of all the sub $40k crossovers, and 1 minivan, I drove when buying my family mobile, it was hands down the best drive. It easily handles all you stuff and kids and has a 3rd row for any extra people (I’ve used the 3rd row way more than expected). Plus the 2017/2018 ones look a lot nicer than my 2014. It’s also…

But she’ll make me do the sex with her by conversing with me. It’ll be entirely her fault.

People, please stop citing the Dow. it’s complete crap. If you must use the S&P instead. The Dow is 30 companies, doesn’t account for the market cap or inflation.

While it’s on the car war...I feel like a violation of some sort should be heaped onto the Maxima driver, if for nothing else then leaving the scene of an accident.

Yes , but what to we do about Kim?

Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are…

His weekends in Mar-a-lago...oh wait shit.

If I had to guess... wah emails, benghazi etc...etc... follow by calling you a snowflake then claiming that immigrants ruin this country (which if you ask Native Americans is kind of true...)

Yeah, it’s hard to tell. Since it just says “property taxes”, I assumed it was just property taxes. It could easily be co-op/condo fees, but that includes more than just taxes.

I’m actually surprised how low their property taxes are. In NJ/NY/CT area taxes on a $1.5M home should be more like $40-50k a year. Shit it’s not crazy to have $20k taxes on a $350k-$500k house (well it is crazy, but it’s no uncommon). Not to mention depending on where you are a $1.5M house/condo/apartment isn’t as…

Mean to reply to OP not you. /facepalm

Don’t forget to add the States’ Rights hypocrisy conservatives love soooo much. States’ rights! States’ rights! blah blah, until it’s something we want/don’t want, then the feds should have the over all say. Such crap.
