Wonder if it was on the other side of an electrically activated glove box door.

Nice! Looks like yours is the top-of-the-line model with the hard to find panoramic roof.

Maha is correct. The ML was renamed the GLE a few years ago. Just as the GL was renamed the GLS, and the GLK was renamed the GLC.

I read it the other way: that the vehicle was designed to disable the starter.  Very telling of Acura’s engineering either way.

Instead of showing your ass, maybe you should put all the variables out there, so we have an idea of why you had such a good deal. I’m pretty sure the comment was a snarky attempt to ask why you had such a good thing.

Someone needs to remind Mr. McParland that “an” and “and” are not interchangeable. Several of his post recently have had this problem.

Agreed. I see Ford trying to make their own version of the Macan. If they do a decent job, it will sell well. 

Is maintenance no longer free on all new BMWs for the first few years?

Thank you for the information. I appreciate you not thinking I was being an ass (after the first reply) and actually teaching me something.

Before I replied, I tried to find any other reference to this. I could not find anything, so you must be doing a wonderful job of burying this issue.

Wow, based on the picture posted by Dr. Martin van Nostrand, it seems to not be sold in the traditional gold/champagne color.  Is this a first?

as long as you don’t run the tank dry (kills the cats)

Other than the head gasket issues, I have not heard anything bad about them.

Some how, everyone missed your reference to living in the South. I went the Ultra high performance all season route with my vehicles, so far so good, for OKC’s winters - granted, I live and work downtown, so I do not go far when it snows.

But race cars have removable steering wheels, so they get in without the steering wheel impeding anything.

It’s not even on the right side.

Or maybe someone that likes to comply with the legal duty to cover a load of mulch, gravel, etc., as the article referenced was the author’s historical use.

Seriously. Touting your settlement agreement as a selling point is pretty awesome. I wonder if Ford will agree, since this seller did sign all the application documents agreeing to not resell the vehicle.

That seems reasonable. At least those have options for modifications. I feel like we have to consider whether any of the crossover vehicles will become classics. I do not see how modern vehicles will be tinkered with in the same way, but I think the culture has changed enough that they too will become special, to some.

So should we expect the Chevy Equinox to fill this spot in the hearts and minds of millennial olds in a couple decades? I guess the RAV4 might be more iconic, so maybe it will be the next Bel Air?
