Yep, I’m wondering how big this actually is... It appears to be roughly the same size as GLC, just FWD so interior packaging can accommodate a 3rd row. I have to imagine that’s what this is, for the people who want a 3 row MB but can’t afford the GLE. Or they could get a fully loaded Palisade for way less and just not…

The one time I went to a Cantina when I live in Chicago, they stopped serving booze at midnight... I was already drunk after a night at Headquarters when I arrived around 12:30am, so I crushed some bean burritos and a quesadilla anyways, but I wish I’d had a tasty alcoholic Mtn Dew with it rather than a Baja Blast.

Is that new? My in-laws purchased a pre-owned 13 Santa Fe Sport back in late 2015, early 2016. Car had nearly 60k miles on it when motor went out while I was driving it. Hyundai replaced engine under warranty and paid for a 4Runner from Enterprise for nearly 3 weeks while it was at the dealer.

We just got a 2019 Santa Fe Limited last month. While it’s nice and comfortable, it’s by no mean luxurious like my wife thinks it is. At the first oil change I told her to sit in a G70, which she like the interior a lot. By the time we’re ready to get ride of this, I’m hoping there will be plenty of pre-owner Genesis…

Agree on the tires. Wife and I recently purchased a 19 Santa Fe, but we test drove Outback, CR-V, and RAV4. CR-V and RAV4 were much louder, I’m sure most of it had to do with the tires. All were higher trims, so it wasn’t a simple base model lacking sound deadening. When we traded in our 17 Civic the car had 38k miles…

My introduction to the uniqueness of the RX-8 was a customers car who my techs didn’t warm up before driving it in and out of the shop for body repair. Coming out of the paint booth, car wouldn’t start... Engine was flooded, needed to be cleaned up, new plugs and dealer wouldn’t do that without new wires too. $1400…

Most new cars have tracking technology built in from the start, and have had for quite some time. Cars that have the ability to connect you to an SOS/911 call have the ability to be tracked without much difficulty. I don’t know of any new car lenders who use the technology, but I know plenty of used car dealers who…

I used to work as an insurance adjuster on north side of Chicago. One day I had to park 2 blocks away from the customers car due to the lack of parking in front of his building. Thermometer in the car said it was 5*F. Spent a total of about 25 minutes walking to his car, taking photos, and walking back to my car. I…

I’ve slowly begun to agree that oval racing needs to be a far smaller part of open wheel racing. I miss Indy racing in VA, but don’t really miss them racing at Richmond. It’s a great track for NASCAR, but not Indy. VIR would be a great track for a race if it wasn’t in the middle of nowhere. I would make the 4ish hour…

Thank you. I love how many people on here complain the cars are too heavy/too complicated now like they spend more time on the track than sitting in traffic. I miss my FR-S and wish it had more power, but it spent over 50% of its life in bumper to bumper traffic to and from work so the low power was great with the…

Our neighborhood was built in 1918 and is on historic registry, so adding the outlet to his garage was more than just running some conduit from the breaker to a plug.

Just plugged a Supra VIN into my estimate software and it’s too new to decode. But I put in a BMW M240i VIN since the mirror appears to be the same, depending upon what the labor rates are in your area it’d be $120-$175. It’ll be interesting to see if Toyota offers body color parts. Typically replacement mirrors, door…

My wife and I have decided our next car purchase will be a hybrid, but we’re not willing to consider an EV yet because the infrastructure isn’t there yet. We regularly make weekend trips that are 300-500 miles from home and it’s not range anxiety as much as it is annoyance that I can’t just stop for 5 minutes and then…

Not sure driver was an asshat, I noticed driving the canyon roads in Yellowstone this summer that every driver loves to hug the center line on turns. My in laws were scared of my driving, I was hugging the outside line because we were driving an Expedition on some narrow roads up Beartooth Pass... it’s bound to…

My wife loves to rub it in my father line laws face that our 2019 Santa Fe has more features than his 2018 Buick Enclave that was like $17k more. I’m still concerned that the interior won’t hold up long term, but it’s a steal to get a CUV that’s near luxury for $30k out the door. Just for laughs I tried to build Q5…

I have a neighbor who was so excited to buy one, I believe he purchased a 2013 or 2014 pre-owned back in 2017. I spoke to him about 6 months ago for an estimate after he got in a collision and he was cursing the car for the range. He said with AC and radio on he was lucky to get 60ish miles of range in summer and…

Craft breweries are starting to get into the low calories and Non-alcoholic beers. I’m on a “diet” while I’m prepping for a half marathon and have found Dogfish Heads Slightly Mighty IPA to be a decent replacement for my normal high ABV repertoire.

Mitsubishi Mirage and Nissan Versa are still worse due to the crap transmissions in both. I get a huge discount at Enterprise through my work so if I’m paying I’m renting a 328i for $30 a day, but if the company is paying I’m very nice at the desk and usually get upgraded to a compact... One time I got put in a…

My wife agreed to let me get a JDM 1989 Prelude for my 30th birthday if one became available close enough for me to drive it home  and it was below $10k. I live less than an hour from Japanese Classics in VA, and less than 3 hours from a few other importers, and I cannot find a RHD Prelude Si in stock. I’ve seen a few…

We have the same thing in my area. One location in the mall, one in the mall parking lot, and one that’s approx 3 miles away but technically is in a different county. All run by the same owner, although it lists a family, so maybe that’s one way of allowing you to own more than one franchise. You’ve got one, your wife…
