I am not sure this will steal many Chevy/GMC sales , as that buyer is typically pretty stalwart and is looking at this segment specifically with those in mind.

Unfortunately, dealers around here (Ann Arbor) play these kinds of games because of the high student population and large around of transient families and foreign families. They don’t need to build a relationship or maintain a reputation, and typically these groups aren’t confident or know enough about the car buying…

Our HOA has a rule similar to this. It was originally put in to limit “work trucks” because at the time most pick up trucks were contractors and the community wanted to limit home businesses and storing equipment/work trucks on their driveway. It’s not enforced on family trucks here, just contracting vehicles (vans,…

It seems like PHEVs are never available, so I’m assuming they sell fast and are in demand. We’ve been on the list for a Toyota Rav 4 Prime for a while now. We’d settle for the Escape PHEV if there were ever any available. It seems like a no brainer for getting people comfortable with EVs. It also seems to be a great…

Is the truck unloading in a CarMax parking lot? That’s funny...

I am hopeful David Chase is clarifying this because he’s got another series or movie planned as a follow up to Sopranos!

I loved these, including the next gen. I actually had a red Grand Prix poster on my wall. I eventually ended up with a Sunbird that carried over a lot of the character of the Grand Prix, with the flip head light controls and those crosshatched tail lights. I always felt like a fighter pilot flipping all those controls…

I am a little late to this party, but I observed an interesting trend that another commenter touched on. I am an economist by training, and this whole phenomena is amazing.

I discovered Birria by accident a few years ago. I was longing for a goat curry I had ages ago and stumbled across Birria recipes. There are tons of varieties and I went with goat and beef, slow braised in cast iron for a large part of the day. The bones from the goat created this beautiful, thick stew perfect for a co…

Will it baby? Not all the time, but occasionally use of car seats. 

I’m a consultant who’s worked digital transformation work at a different national car rental agency.

There is a Walmart in Saline, just south of Meijer. I’ve gone once because I couldn’t find sidewalk salt anywhere else. It’s so dingy and feels crowded, despite it being pretty empty.

If the LS had to be summed up in one word it would be: Clean.

Actually, looks like someone beat me to it. 

Did they already unveil it? If you look at the live stream, the silver truck behind the speaker is the one under the cover in the original picture?

We looked at the 2020 MDX since the incentives and drive to clear out old inventory put it in our price range. We were shopping 3 row SUVs. This included Highlander, Atlas, Pilot, CX-9, Ascent. Our “stretch” was Volvo, which I couldn’t justify when the rest of the group was so competitively priced with all the…

Having seen the brisket at Applebees being received and prepared, I am surprised it got axed in the name of complexity. It’s prepped offsite and brought in large vacuum sealed bags. The brisket is warmed and served in taco form. Maybe they changed the process recently to make it more complex and thus the axing is…

Soufflé Potatoes. I don’t see them on menus often. When I do, it’s getting ordered. Puffy, salty, mmm... perfection. 

I haven’t found any to-go wings from a pizza place to be appetizing. They always seem to have soggy skin. I suspect it’s because they run frozen wings through their oven vs actually frying them. I did pick up wings from a higher end pizza place that has a bar and regular wing specials. The skin on those was better, I…

I inherited a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird as my first car. All notions of “cool car” change when you’re 16 and you’re friends aren’t, or they can’t afford a car.
