Must have gotten lucky with ours then...2010 CX-7 Grand Touring with the turbo 4 (essentially the same motor as the Speed3) and we’ve had zero issues with it. I have only replaced the battery and the MAF in 6 years, outside of normal maintenance and wear items (brakes, tires, wiper blades, etc.). We’re averaging…

I drove to Columbus, OH last night and had to drive around 18 wheelers camped out in the left lane on I-70. That’s a first. Only happened in Ohio - as soon as I got back into Indiana, they all moved to the right.

I’m currently in Indiana - drove out this morning - and had to drive around four people who camped out in the left lane. All of them had Indiana plates (they’re usually Illinois or Kentucky plates).

They do this in Indiana as well - it’s fantastic!

I drive to the Indiana/Ohio border twice a month from the ‘burbs of Chicago for work. About three months ago, I got to see the “Groundhog Day” version of this video.

Cop came up behind a white van, turned on his lights and merged right with the van (like the video). As…

Get rid of three of your vehicles - you need a daily and a project. That’s it. The rest of it is just a distraction/money pit.

Rob Schneider is in it, of course it’s horrible...

This has to be in the ‘burbs of Chicago...home of the laziest people when it comes to clearing their car of snow.

Situations like this, unfortunately, are why people don’t trust the police.

They’ve militarized themselves and acted in such a way that no one can/should trust them - which just makes every encounter ten times more stressful for both sides. It’s hard to know when you’ll be the next person kicked in the chest, shot for…

He took the chance to prove that his dick was bigger than the other guy. Now he gets to do it in prison...

I hope he rots in prison forever. Fuck this guy. In the ass. In a prison shower. For the next 40+ years.

It’s a damn shame that Ethan Couch wasn’t her boyfriend.

This girl is a straight up psychopath - she should either be gassed or put in a tiny concrete box so she can think about it...forever.

Illinois is a case study in how to fuck up just about everything in government.

Airplanes bring out the worst in people, multiply by 2 if it’s a domestic flight...that being said: the ‘clappers’ can go f**k themselves.

I make voice command calls all the time in my V60 R Design...and the TC can be totally disabled. Donuts in an AWD cars with snow tires in the snow is a lot more fun than you’d think. I thank Dominick’s for going out of business every time I do it.

Where’s the point of diminishing returns for advertising? Billboards are everywhere in Chicago. Everywhere. I don’t notice them anymore - messages might as well be blank. Tacky advertising on a personal vehicle would make me avoid the subject business while questioning the individual owner’s choices in life.

Advertising…

Having driven several Kias, no f**king thank you.

I’ve got a V60 and it’s a tad on the small side - especially when sitting in the back seats - so this slightly larger version would be nice especially if I can get it to replace my wife’s Mazda CX-7 (which is also small inside). Other than the small-ish interior it’s a fantastic car.

There’s a whole slew of questions that should accompany the inquiry of this car - starting with the AWD repairs (angle gear is a known issue around 100k miles) and they can be expensive.

Given the year of the car, the condition of the interior and the unknowns of the maintenance/repair, I’d say ‘CP’ unless it’s being…

If I didn’t have them before the commercials - I would have skipped them as well. Oddly enough, they’ve been pretty easy to deal with...

Why risk getting shot in the face by a potential paranoid gun nut?

Let it go, sparky, it’s not worth it. Even if you ‘win’ you’re an asshole.

As a 2A supporter, this dude should go to jail - you don’t pull a gun on someone unless you absolutely have to use it because you are physically threatened and there’s no other way out of the situation without harm. You don’t point a gun at someone to ‘make a point’.

Moto boy should have immediately called the police…
