A little weak with the sarcasm radar eh?

What about enthusiast cars that don’t get great MPG? Are people that drive those idiots as well? If so I’m really fucked.

I’d also like to call out the guy in a commenting frenzy calling SUV/CUV owners dumbasses. That one preference a person has makes them a dumbass, right. Do you want to have a dumbass-off? List out all our automotive credentials? Go even beyond that, lets list our education, career achievements, everything, lay it all…

I do agree with most of these points when talking about a huge, actual SUV. But regarding a crossover versus wagon/minivan, I highly doubt it’s going to be cheaper to deliver/rent a truck every weekend I need to fill the thing up (oh, and I do, nearly every weekend). Crossovers are cheap as hell preowned, not much…

You replied off the wrong comment.

I wasn’t talking to you either, I was talking to perceptionisreality2.

I’ll throw in that the Pathfinder, as bland as it is, has one of the most comfortable 3rd rows I’ve ever sat in (I’m 6-1). Got an Uber XL and drew the short straw for the back for a 30-40 minute drive, but was pleasantly surprised. USB-C port back there was a nice touch as well. 

People seem to get pretty riled up on this topic (buy a minivan/wagon over a CUV rabble rabble rabble).

I think most of the hate on the massive SUVs stems from suburban moms driving them around empty or with one or two kids. However, in my experience I rarely see this, and usually a Suburban is loaded up or towing a boat as you mentioned. We live in a lake community and 9/10 times at the dock it’s something like a Tahoe…

Which ones have you driven? I personally think the CX9 has a ton of character, especially for its size. It’s sibling, the CX5 feels like a damn wagon IMO.

I’m with you on this, recently test drove several minivans and crossovers on the same day, and I’m sorry but the crossovers just were more enjoyable overall IMO. We only have one kid, and it will probably stay that way, otherwise a minivan might make more sense. CX9 in particular just felt so much more car-like than…

The thing is, most of the crossovers today aren’t massive 6000 pound monsters. They share a lot more characteristics with wagons, get better mileage, yet offer a bit more vertical space. Some of us don’t have 3-4 kids and may just have 1 (and a dog, plus tons of hobby/house related shit to haul), in which case a CUV…

Agreed.. I think it’s different for everyone, but I’ll lurk in some of the finance subreddits and people are talking about retiring early, on time etc and it seems like such an important part of their life. If I do retire on time, that’s great. But honestly I enjoy my job and wouldn’t hate doing it or something like…

Wow, I like that. Yep, if my younger brother in law (born in the 90s) claims he grew up playing OT I’m calling bullshit. 

While I did love the Supra as a kid, it falls below FD RX-7 and the NSX for me currently. 

I was 84 as well.... lived in Tampa and while they were rare, we did see them from time to time, and my friends and I definitely knew what it was. However we were definitely in the zone with cars at that point (13 y/o and beyond, just years away from driving). Gran Turismo helped quite a bit with knowing my models,…

I would say late Gen-x and early millenials, because we grew up looking at them. I used to bag groceries and gather shopping carts in the late 90s/early 2000s and if there was a Supra or NSX or something in the parking lot we’d all run out to oogle it (yet I wasn’t old enough to drive). This was before Fast and the…

Oh god I remember the “mod” of loctiting the butterfly screws. And the super sensitive MAF sensor. I had a later 2002 and the only issue I wound up having was some minor oil consumption and 2nd gear grinding here and there, but I didn’t drive it beyond 40-50k miles so who knows what it wound up going through.

I’ve got a soft spot for the Spec V. Drove one for a few years in college. Definitely recall loading my dorm room into it until I could barely fit in it myself and making the drive back home. 

I remember a friend back in high school had two. Because.... why not? I think the 2nd was $800 or something and just needed a little work to get running. That was quite some time ago, but I’m sure if he saw the selling price of these he’d have a laugh.
