Kentucky here - country ham checking in....

I posted above, but I literally just a few months ago sold my 2016 Mazda CX-5 to carvana for 19k....  The part of me that smells scam is the fact that he was ONLY asking 10k for it....

As someone that just sold an 80k+ mile 2016 CX-5 to Carvana for 19k.... I don’t know how any parties involved didn’t realize this was too good to be true....

Due to a sudden temp drop, a full garage, and a longish trip in my S10 coming up - I went to an instant oil change place this week.  It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.  The guy telling me he had a 2.2 in his “SS” S10 and how it would kill the V6's....   Me telling him my Stepside bed was rusted out so I was…

100% - I thought it was just me... but yes... I drive 10ish over most of the time on the highway.... the # of times people aggressive-pass, while I’m in the right and they have 2 other lanes, then proceed to glare at me as if I’m going 10 under is AMAZING.....  Meanwhile, take the beater S10 out, go the actual limit…

Kentucky check’s VIN but ONLY when transferring a car from out of state... no safety checks.... seen some shit.... I’ve seen some shit....

Hiding in the valley of those panel gaps....

I’m still sitting here trying to figure out how in late July last year I got a ‘21 prius prime in the NE region for 5k off because Toyota didn’t they could move them... meanwhile the west coast was already asking a 5k premium.  I have two spare cars, I already sold my previous used car to Carvana for almost 2800 more…

People keep saying Toyota is playing catch up/missed the boat on EV’s but honestly I think they are/have been smart. The Prius Prime (I own one) and the Rav 4 Prime which offer small, but usable 100% EV modes, but then switch is hybrid mode afterwards, are the perfect transition vehicle. I don’t want to own multiple…

Having been one of the first on scene of a semi almost head-on hitting a sedan, and the child, in it’s restraint, being ejected hundreds of feet away - I can totally get this. The child’s mom was walking around barefoot looking for her shoes, 100% shock. Her friend’s back was broken, compound breaks in her legs,…

Android fan boy and dev... and I’ve had this issue on every android phone I’ve had.... Been a pixel person of late, but had some samsungs in there.... The # of times I tilt my wrist just a bit too far and it gets stuck in landscape and I’m beating it back totally vertical for 5-10 seconds to get it back to portrait…

I have a friend telling me that because I’m vacc’d I’m the reason it’s spreading so bad because I went around thinking I didn’t need a mask.... I’m like, but wait, you’ve never worn a mask, and as soon as covid started trending up, I’ve been masking again.  He still thinks that people being vacc’d is the reason it’s…

I remember working at a major car audio electronics company, that also made/sold car alarms in the early 2000's. A email chain (ya im old) went around that if you locked your keys in the car, have your spouse call from the house and point the remote at the phone, click unlock, and you would hold your cell phone at the…

Once driving in a major snow storm on back roads in Kentucky.... I was in my Prius C, but with snow tires.  I had my ass ridden by 2 trucks and an SUV (going speed limit) until we got to a massssssive uphill.  A church was half way up.  They took turns, each finally giving up after several attempts and back sliding…

Gimme back our Florence Freedom.... Y’all.....  Dumbest name change ever....

I had a Shuttlecraft about 15 years ago.  I like it’s concept more than this.  Use any Jetski (with proper rails) and pull it into either a larger boat or fishing platform.  They locked in and you cruised the lake as one larger ship.  Drop the wife/kids off at quiet cove with the boat part, and take the ski out to rip…

Mazda’s CPO sucks compared to other’s. I had issues with valid claims on my Mazda that was CPO.  I did a lincoln CPO and it was awesome. I think it’s probably company by company and dealer by dealer as always....

SR20DET came in a few flavors, assuming you are familiar with the RWD versions and you are correct no individual throttle bodies there. The FWD/AWD versions though, the Pulsar GTi-R had the 4 glorious throttle bodies for some force feeding fun....

Nissan today, I can’t stand, but nissan of the 90's..... SR20de.... That thing was so overbuilt, available overseas not only turbo charged, but turbo charged with 4 individual throttle bodies... Disappointed it didn’t make the list.

I just did this - 2021 Prius Prime’s (hybrid and roughly 30 miles of all electric). $5500 off MSRP in the NE region (some dealers offering 500-1k below msrp + that deal). Then a roughly $4,600 tax credit next year for the PHEV part.... Sold my 2016 CX-5 for more than I paid for it to Carvana - ended up with a brand…
