There are certainly better ways to discourage abuse, I will grant you that. Simply placing very harsh penalties for fraud would probably help curb some of it.

Found the guy that got bus lengths pulled on him by a Flex!

‘Asshole’ Flex driver here...? I have a great time in winter throwing 3 boards, and 4 pairs of skiis in the back, along with our support gear while my buddy tries to cram everything in his Thule on his Range Rover...while his kids kick the crap out of his seats (when it’s not getting ‘updating’ from his tech who he…

Jesus, you guys are really trying to shave every bit of gristle off this bone arent you?

Isn’t blue usually for kerosene?

That’s pretty high praise. If I could save $5,000 and not have to deal with the embarrassing looks of the new Civic, I’d probably take the performance hit to drive the Elantra GT.

Wait, the Hyundai Elantra Sport earned an A/B rating in the Daily/Driver review, and praise like this from Jalopnik:

Good you still have work. Once you are a caregiver it’s almost impossible to get back into work. Depending how long you are one of course .

To be fair, everyone has a chance at getting the disease.

I put 150k miles on a 2006 Elantra, and the only problem I ever had was the radiator springing a leak. $50 to fix it. Seriously, that was it. I’m also not terribly gentle on any of my cars. Single-handedly the most reliable car I’ve ever owned.

I believe CS ranking is based on the number of defect per 1000 vehicles, or something like that. It’s not just “gut feeling”

They’re actually 10th out of 27 for 2017.

The problem is always perspective.

Don’t listen to Patrick. Tell her your relationship is at an end if she doesn’t quit. If she refuses to quit, respect her decision and move on. As hard as that may be, you’ll be happier in the long run and the children will be happier as well.

Detrimental to racing is not the argument. The question is do grid girls make it harder for women who want to race to be taken seriously, which would be detrimental to women trying to break into the sport (not limited to racers).

As a former Michigan resident I know that rust on a $3,000 car means nothing. Unless the floorboards look like swiss cheese, this thing is good for winter duty for another 5+ years.

Clean off the rust ? Good luck with that. Rust was a standard equipment on that era of Mazda. Our 2003 protege started rusting 6 month after we bought it new. It was so bad that Mazda repainted both side a year afterward.

All signs point to douche.

Great question.
