Last summer our fam visited the National Civil Rights museum in Memphis (Built around the hotel where MLK was murdered), and toured what I thought was the “Rosa Parks Bus”. Turns out that’s a replica, but still very powerful experience. The whole place is a must visit IMO.

don’t know where you live but here in Houston TX of all places I see Pacificas every day. Neighbors own one, as does a co-worker, as does my father. How is a Sienna o Odyssey more “practical”? As for me I’m holding onto the ol Town and Country until the next Pacifica is released in a year or two.

Amen.

As the owner of a stock ‘86 CRX Si, which is wonderful but crying out for the spicy ROW 16 valve motor instead of the nice but underwhelming US 12-valver, this should have 32 valves. 

what’s up with this “new management” deal? Did I miss an article about that? Anyway, best wishes on your future.

Yawn. Another massive EV that will virtually never use any of it’s surely life-changing offroad abilities. This does at least prove that the VW iBuzz is ridiculously overpriced. Now bring out a fun and funky ~$30k hatchback with ~250 miles range (and why not, also an open top 2-seater on the same platform) and I’ll be…

I was super psyched for this a few years ago, as a replacement for our trusty 2012 Town and Country and to go full EV along with our BMW i3. The closer it got to selling in the US (a process that makes glaciers look speedy) the less enthused I got. No way in hell am I bascially going to give away our clean, practical,…

Kia Soul is a fantastic car. The upcoming EV3 is basically the electric equivalent.

no doubt - although since material and assembly quality is significantly worse on more recent rigs an argument can be made that my 2009 is MORE desirable than newer ones. Especially since the previous owner already took care of all the things that WILL fail on a new rig. Cost me $300 to put in a touchscreen…

Earlier this year I bought a 2009 Sunseeker 3120DS motorhome with the E450 chassis and V10 motor. On a 2700 mile trip last month from TX through OK, AR and TN it averaged 8.5mpg. People with similar sized rigs with the 2021+ “Godzilla” V8 report getting MAYBE 1 mpg more. Sure that’s >10%, but not nearly enough to make…

I’ve been psyched for an EV bus for years, but the more videos of Euro ID Buzzes I see, plus the underwhelming specs and relatively high price of the US version (no way I’d get a white, silver or black one would have to be the $65k version where you can get actually cool colors) makes me appreciate our 2012 Town and…

ad mentions the guides were replaced at 100k (these crumbled on my E38 740i at ~125k)

Came to the comments to say this. It’ll probably weigh 1000lbs more than the i3 but now that batteries are cheap and range is 2x the latest i3 that won’t matter to vast majority of drivers. I’ll be holding onto my galvanic gold 2021 i3s (and waiting for used VW ibuzz to hit ~$30k, maybe by 2030?)

I only bought one the the last I3s to come to the US in 2021 due to the $10k in fed and state tax credits + $11k Corporate Partner incentive + 6% discount off MSRP (~$31k out the door vs $55k MSRP). There’s a reason >90% of i3s were leased (basically incentivized by BMW with a huge RV).

Not a place I’d otherwise recommend visiting, but if you ever find yourself near Midland TX put the Petroleum Museum on your must-visit list. Unless they are touring the world, this is the home of every Chaparral race car. You can even sit in a replica 2E (I managed to squeeze in, and nearly broke my leg trying to get…

As much as $12k for a sexy, forbidden-fruit-in-the-US-for-so-long, Italian drop top in a nice color SHOULD be a steal, another one that recently sold on BAT (Lot #126752) for about 1/2 that proves it could be a tough sell.

the first car I ever drove around the Nordschleife was a rented 1998 520i with a 5 speed manual.  Shifted very nicely but I really didn’t need the added distraction of having to shift myself while learning the track... with the straight 6's torque an auto does just fine. 

Big time CP. He must think it’s an M5. The automatic in these is great and suits the car perfectly. I drove a ‘99 528i (sweet looking and handling sport pack) for ~100k miles (and yeah, did a BUNCH of work on it from VANOS seals to rear suspension bushings to coolant system to numerous brake jobs to many other things…

Looks great. Similar mission statement as our i3. Hows the ride comfort? That’s one thing about our ‘21 i3s I’d wish was improved (yes the non-S is a bit better, not much though).  

Good move Hyundai, but without plug-in like Pacifica the avg mpg needs to be >40 to compete with Sienna. AWD is only needed by a small % of buyers so FWD only shouldn’t hurt sales much. We’ll keep plugging along with our reliable, comfortable, paid-for, ~25mpg and surprisingly still fresh looking (for being stored…
