Lexus’ Predator face

The absence of physical controls for certain functions (Wipers, primary HVAC, etc) is idiocy. Those are things for which you should pretty much not need to take your eyes off the road. I predict.... pain.

Serious question: what the fuck counts as a respectful protest? Kneeling quietly during the national anthem could not be more peaceful and inoffensive. 

A protest is by definition disruptive. You don’t get your point across by standing in a “free speech zone” a mile away from he venue waving placards. You do it right there where it is visible. And since when kneeling or refusing to salute to the orange moron a crime?

Someone else said it much better than I.

The only counterpoint worth saying, then, is simple and vulgar: Richard Petty, go fuck yourself.

We have 4 kids (7, 5, 3 , 1) and have only had a suburban (5.3 L) and now an escalade ESV (6.2L, same platform as suburban/yukon). With captains chairs in the second row, we put the 5 and 7 year old in back since they can buckle themselves. It was tough when they were younger, but my wife will never drive anything…

David, I love you, but you obviously have not had any experience with kids. There’s no fucking way in hell that 4 kids with car seats will work in a Mazda 5. Three kids with car seats barely works in my Grand Caravan.

Sedona is awful. Reliability is questionable too.

I like that thing they did with the roof.

Neat. But why?

Is it overreach when the government tells me I can’t enrich uranium on my own property?

One man’s “Enthusiast” is another man’s “Hoarder”.

I’m sorry David, but I believe our gentleman friend, regardless of his cheery disposition, falls into “Hoarder” territory.

If they were running, driven, exhibited, or maintained....maybe I’d change my mind...but nope...we’re in straight hoarder-land here.

Thats because its bullshit.

The new Prius design is, somehow, almost infinitely worse than the last one. And that’s saying a lot.

Just go back, BMW. Just. Go. Back...

Bangle is done with the butt. He’s moved on to the front end.

LS Swap?

Here’s the thing though: after a few years of ownership with someone who will constantly improve it, the car will become one of those cool swap projects in an exotic car. There is real value in those.

I’d buy it, Sloppy Mechanics LS swap it with a 4.8 truck motor and big duration cam, then make it scream to get the ladies. I could sell the rari motor to someone for god knows how much- because ‘rari. And profit.
