Carrot farmer here. Huzzah for carrots.

Exactly!! Towing capacity is just a frame of mind.

Anything can tow 7,000 pounds. You just need to try harder.

Nope. They made the rear seats unusable. For that reason, and that reason alone I will never buy one.

Really. I don’t know about crate engines but at one point in time the best engine you could get in a Saturn Vue was the Honda 3.5. 

Somebodies CHEP pallet inventory is now out of whack. Those stupid blue pallets cost about $25 a piece.

I won’t debate who is paying for the bridge but I do have the misfortune of crossing the Ambassador bridge 5-6 times per year and it scares the hell out me every time. There has needed to be a replacement for quite some time now.

Sorry. On closer examination, it appears that the side airbags were in the pillar and did indeed deploy as the plastic on the driver’s side “B” pillar is missing.

Sorry, but to me that looks more like someone’s coffee got tossed all around the car. Checking the damage it looks like it was sideswiped but it must not have been too sever of an impact as the side airbags didn’t deploy. Also, all the glass (front and side windows) is still intact.

Counterpoint - No it’s not.

It blew me away that Hill Start Assist came standard on the crapcan Chevy Sonic that I bought for my kids. I’m still not entirely sure that I trust it.

I am the target market for this vehicle. Mid 40's, married with 4 kids. We are currently in a Pathfinder, that I despise for the underpowered V-6 and the horrible CVT.

I am doing way better today than I was 15 years ago but i will never be able to out earn the 4 little parasites that I call my kids.

How much for the square body in the background? That’s the one we all really want.

Fair enough. I’m not even allowed at the Lexus dealership.

That was totally her department manager. I worked at corporate at Mervyn’s and we were so busy begging Target to invest a couple of nickels into our infrastructure that there is no way that we could have placed a Hokey-Pokey requirement on any department.

I loved him in Married with Children.

Based on the beaters I bring home I would not use the term “entitled”. I tend to swap cars about every 18-24 months. There are so many cool cars in the world and I want to try them out now while I can still enjoy them. Over the last 12 years I have had the joy of owning the following:

The scraps are now verboten thanks to the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) that was signed into law in 2011 but has just begun being implemented. As part of FSMA all animal feed now needs to have the same care and treatment as human food. That means that now I can no longer load all my scraps into a large side…
