“Made” $84 billion? Nope. Generated $84 billion in revenue but surely there is some cost to those sales.

Oh. Am I doing this wrong? I am waiting for the 2.9l Atlas in my Colorado to die and then I will be replacing it with a 5.3l V-8. 2009 and up Colorados could be had with a 4 cylinder, 5 cylinder, or the V-8. Of those three engines the V-8 will be the cheapest to swap in there.

All Nissan/Infiniti infotainment systems are about 8 years behind the curve. In the last year I have driven numerous Q50's, Altimas and Pathfinders and hate both the CVT (Pathfinder/Altima) and the infuriating infotainment system (all of them).

I always thought that these looked a lot like a version of that generation Explorer that had been debadged and had an anonymous front end put on it.

I have no qualms with your choice. I drive in the snow every year with my all seasons. I am wondering how a humble blogger can afford Michelins? 

Counterpoint. in 2011 Obama signed into law the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). This act covers many aspects of food production and safety and is, partially, meant to catch things like this lettuce issue.

The first car I bought with my own shekels was a 94 GXE. I loved that car and held onto it for 10 years but unfortunately, I found myself at a place in life where I actually, really, needed a truck and so I had to part with my sweet Altima.

That’s my plan. I have a 2009 extended cab with the 4cyl/5sp. If the not so great Atlas engine ever goes in it I will be replacing it with a 5.3l LS and a 6sp Tremec.

Ugh. I thought the top picture was the Trail Runner. Having owned two of the previous generation of Colorado I believe that the correct answer for the RST is more like the ZQ8 they used to offer.

Like my grandma used to say “Pick one and stick with it”.

I can’t think of anything less appealing than a baseball team in Portland.

I just got really excited about the Acura Vigor. I believe that it was the only Acura to ever be offered with a 5 cylinder motor.

You are a monster. You are probably also the coworker that burns microwave popcorn and then leaves the burnt bag in the microwave instead of fessing up to your deed.

I get the comparison but when I compare it against the previous generation Traverse it is within an inch on every dimension. The previous generation Traverse was priced more in line with the competition. This new one is trying to set the standard.

It is not just the new “Blazer”. Chevy seems to have gone off the deep end on the new Traverse as well. A fully loaded one of those can top $54k. CP from me.

Hey! Farmer here. I think the best answer is a 10 year Ford F150.

I am conflicted. I am just not sure what to do with the chevy stepside bed on the Ford truck.

I have a 2017 F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. 4wd, Crewcab, Long bed. I have put 35,000 miles on it. It is mostly highway but I run a farm so there is a lot of towing/hauling/driving in 4wd through the mud.

Time to give up when:

A. Round Abouts and how to fold a fitted sheet.
