I have an 3.7 H3 which is mainly used as a work vehicle and general beater - towing, dog hauling, bit of light off-roading, winter ski ride to the mountains etc etc. It’s slow as a dog but a great little truck - and without wishing to tempt fate it’s been faultless for the several years I’ve owned it, even though it

This may be heresy, but check out the Buick Regal TourX.  Flat floor, huge back storage compartment.  Deals on these is also huge.

It’ll be cold day in hell before I pay a $899 doc fee.

If you pay $50k for a Kia you should be legally required to give the dealer an extra $9k for your poor choices.

I’m 40. I used to laugh at old guys who still trusted Buick and Olds in the late 1990s and shunned Honda, Toyota. I think now I am that “old guy” who would not touch a Hyundai or KIA even today, despite generally high CR ratings ...

I was a Honda/Acura guy for about 10 years. Then I bought a gently-used 2004 3-series. It was immediately obvious why the BMW cost so much more.

I’m 31, and I don’t know anyone from my generation that has that view/ever had that view of Honda/Toyota.

Kia isn’t moving Stingers because you have to enter a Kia dealership to buy one. 

As someone whose dad served in the Vietnam war, I still can’t see a Kia without associating it with ‘Killed In Action’.

It’s pretty common for small towns to have both a mayor and a city administrator or manager. The position of mayor is held by one of the city council members on a rotating basis, and is usually mostly just a figurehead and the one who calls meetings to order. The administrator is a professional hired for the job and do

How the hell can you work at a car dealership and not know how to drive a manual?

Maybe he is just safety conscience.

That’s a obvious deficiency. The USA needs tens of thousands of sworn, armed FCC agents monitoring EF transmissions.

Fast advance 30 years, the news title changes to “A Man’s Homemade Electronics Causes 1,000-Autonomous-Vehicle Pile Up on Nearby Freeway”

Nobody is detected upstairs? Transmit 315Mhz signal. Someone’s detected? Turn off transmitter. If the receiver loses 315Mhz -> send a signal to a relay to turn off a light. Dude knows somethings up (pun intended).
Why not the other way? Well if it’s only rigged to turn *on* when someone’s there, a failure

You nothing about Volvos do you?

Yea, because the roads were literally flowing with blood back when cars like this roamed the roads...

I guess no one will remember then that it’s twin, the Dodge Daytona, took the IROC title away from Camaro for a year or two.

I was a little kid in the 80s, so I guess I’m one of those “f-ing millenials” you’re ranting about. Still I remember those kinds of cars from brochures, magazines, and TV shows/movies, and I agree, the lack of “sporty” 2-door liftbacks in the modern car market is a shame. I even wrote a little memorial for them on

The side profile on these still looks amazing. Absolutely love it. And my first car was a ‘91 Dodge Daytona. Fun car for high school in the late ‘90s!
