She’s only got 3 paws and is the devil, but she’s a good dog!

Sure does, it looks great.

My wife and I moved to Chicago when she attended Northwestern for med school in 2015. We just moved back to coastal Virginia earlier this year for her residency and to be close to family, but we seriously considered staying in Chicago for a few more years for many of the reasons you listed above. I couldn’t be a…

I saw an advance screening last night. The movie does go by very quickly and had me wanting more, but it felt nice to not have a bunch of long shots or philosophical dialogue. My biggest takeaway was to be excited for standalone movies, and hope we can get a Worlds Finest with Affleck as Batman still. Movie is a solid…

I’ve had the same issue, but the difference was single vs married. I’ve bought 3 new cars since I started dating my wife. The first two she was just my girlfriend and I felt like I wasn’t taken seriously even though I was a early to mid 20s college graduate with a good, stable job. Fast forward to this year, I’m 27…

I know he’s basically saying “Our customers want what we’re offering now and we make a ton of money doing it, so no need to waste profits on autonomous R&D”... but I wish it was more a statement on the future like in Minority Report with the Lexus. The team who designed that car basically said, in the future the…

Every manufacturer has a pretty bad version of “perfect” and customer expectations are almost always higher than the factory. I work for an insurance company and I cannot tell you how many times people complain about rattles, or bodylines not matching up after their car was fixed. Thankfully I’m at a dealership body…

Not my photo, but a 2004 Z71 Suburban was my “learn to drive in” car. This was in 2005, I was supposed to get a hand me down 1999 Silverado LS that my dad would take back occasionally for towing, but my mom wanted out of her Impala as soon as the payments were done.

I remember when people younger than me began to get upset about “next gen” games being too expensive at $60... I remember paying $80 for Super Smash Bros when it came out, although I bought Shadows of the Empire for $20 in like 2002, total rip off... Hopefully this game will be on the N64 Classic since it’s a game I…

I could also see a Val Kilmer in his prime as Dash. It’s been 20 years since I read the novel, but I always felt like Dash was a younger, cockier Han. Basically every role Kilmer had besides Batman.

My 30th is coming up soon(ish) and I’m trying to convince my wife to let me get a decent C4 or Trans Am from the mid 90s to sit in the garage as a project until I inevitably sell it as soon as it runs for more than a few miles without giving up...

Maybe now shops will start spending the $500 a year for AllData instead of relying on having one technician being an “ICAR expert”. I’ve been to many shops where I had to point out to a tech they weren’t following OEM procedure, like one who wanted to bond a rear body into a 4Runner that was meant designed to be…

Or it would do nothing. It would probably stay in drive until you moved the shift to the proper position, or more likely only allow the change to be made when the vehicle isn’t in motion.

If they would make this, with a more attractive front end, I’d buy it. I bought a 2013 FR-S brand new, but life came along and I had to sell it so a company car could take its place in the parking garage when I lived in Chicago. Now I’m back in the suburbs on the east coast, I would definitely buy this over another…

I saw this a few years ago on a rural highway in Virginia. Probably a mid/late 90s S-10, the cab came off in the accident and the driver was ejected. That was fun sitting around for hours dealing with state police since the accident involved a fatality and I had witnessed it. I got up closer to the truck and there…

This car sounds exactly like what my fiancé wants in her next vehicle. Something bigger than her Civic, but not a crossover. Something sporty looking, but with the creature comforts she likes from my moms SRX. She’s firmly in the Honda/Toyota buyers demo for the perceived reliability, and the Accord looks too “momish”…

In Texas, we based it on how far up the water went inside. If water went up to dash level or was salt water inside the cabin, it is an Obvious Total Loss. Texas makes floods easy, the cars also get “parts only titles” so it’s all easy.

And now I’m heading to Miami to look at cars from Irma... looks like I’m not going to get back to my home territory before my wedding next month...

They’re supposed to pay me a bonus with it! I kid, but the big thing is that Harvey will be the most costly storm for auto insurance when all is said and done. Then when you combine the possibility of Irma on top of it just 2 weeks later, it could bankrupt smaller, local insurance companies. I know my company is…

Yeah, seems like usually about 30% of ACV (market value) is recouped. A lot of these cars will unfortunately get title washed and sold again, but a lot will also go to Mexico and become cheap transportation, especially the pickups.
