First Gear:

Are we still going with the official story that O’Neill killed Bin Laden as part of a well organized raid? I thought that there was some additional information that had come to light that the raid was a complete shit show with Bin Laden basically being riddled with bullets, and no one really knowing whether there was…

That's good advice- I'll look into it.

I do!

How did this not get filed to "Florida Man"?

That was the problem- the 2014 only had roof glass on the SL and platinmum, otherwise we would have gone SV. It's an enormous amount of glass, too. The kids love it, although we did have to close it a few times over the summer.

Oh wait ... now I’m embarrassed. We have the SL, but without the tech/nav, because we wanted the roof glass. Not sure how I confused the trim ... Idk, my wife drives it daily. I only get to visit it on nights and weekends!

We have the SV - we love the interior. The step-up height is a bit much for my 5 yo, but otherwise it's great.

I’m not sure what “most minvans” means, but Edmunds rates a Honda Odyssey and Nissan Quest at 22 MPG combined, and the Pathfinder at 23 MPG combined. We all know to take fuel economy numbers with a grain of salt, so 1 or 2 points in either direction is basically a wash in my mind. My point was simply that the economy…

I thought you guys were writers? The -gate thing is way overdone, too Nixon, and that was 40 some years ago. Can't we come up with anything else?

We own one (2014) and disagree. The fuel economy is fanatastic - better than my wagon, and takes 87 vs 93 to boot. The interior functions very similar to a minivan. We drove some minivans, liked this better.

I think he was just misquoting the song by Dawes ...

A good friend of mine once said,

As the owner of a car that is older than 10 years and that has more than 100,000 miles on it, I get it. Here’s a real world example of something that happened to me on a different car:

Reno-porn’s roots trace back to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the mid-’aughts lifestyle-makeover juggernaut that cemented Bravo as both the gayest and most likable cable network ever invented

It won’t matter. There will be no more O2 sensors for my VW.

This is going to sound preachy, and everybody is different, but if you cut out as much processed sugar as you can and go as vegan as you can, it might help.

I get that everybody feels like they’ve been ripped off here, but $38,000 is like three trips to Target before back-to-school.
