So I said a tow-behind is a bit different because you have a car pulling it, and sure you can definitely get a campsite near a city. But have a class A motorhome or even a class C? no way in hell you’d want to take that downtown to explore.

Well this does sound like a reasonable idea, similar to breathalyzers for drunk drivers. But...

As a C5 Corvette owner, can confirm that some interior plastic doesn’t matter one bit for your enjoyment of a sports car.

I’ve driven a manual 370, they’re completely different from a Mustang, that short wheelbase makes them feel a lot more fun.

A regular weekend for us consists of coming home from work on Friday afternoon around 5 pm(20 mile commute each way) and going to either my in-laws 120 miles away, my parents house 350 miles away, or my family’s cabin 300 miles away. If we’re going to the in-laws or the cabin in the winter (MN is well below freezing…

Insurance agent here, Teslas are more expensive to insure, not because of the purchase price though. They’re more than similar ICE cars in the same price bracket, not a huge amount but it’s still a difference. They’re faster, generally have more sensors that need repair in minor accidents, and could need a $25k…

Performance is irrelevant in this case. When a slightly under $50k Mach E or maybe Tesla Y is the cheapest 5-seat crossover you can get, it’s not a factor that you can compare it to an X3 M40i. The point is its competition for family practicality is a $35k Mazda CX5 ICE which is the meat of the market, and in that…

This is a load of shit. You’re comparing price only, not the actual vehicles. If the only way to make them cheaper is to make them sedans, they’ve already lost because no one is buying sedans anymore. The average $50k vehicle these days is a Kia Telluride, a 7-8 seat family SUV. The average $55k EV is a 5-seat…

100%. More than once I had appraised trade-ins and mentioned we had to deduct for the interior smelling like smoke only for them to claim they never smoke in their car. Ok Karen, but you smoking outside your car and getting in smelling like an ashtray still makes the car reek for the rest of its life whether you…

Around me they’ll do even worse. You search the listing sites and filter 3+ car garage and about half of them are <3 car garages but they put like 9 parking spaces available because that’s how many can fit in the driveway.

A tow-behind is a bit different, partially because they’re a lot cheaper and you actually have a car to use when you’re there. (I get that you can tow a car behind a big bus RV but not all cars so there’s a good chance that that towed car was bought specifically for that purpose)

Pretty sure it’s scientifically impossible to not hear that in his voice as you’re reading it.

Backup cameras are critical because they’re legally required. If a phone was the only screen source it would have to legally lock you out of gear until your phone is connected and on the dock.

Sure the US is lousy with midsize pickup options right now, but Mitsubishi is just lousy...

I mean you could literally do a lease then immediate buyout if you wanted...

Yup, missed the bikes in there. I’d still argue for a trailer, but I get depending on where you’re going it could be a pain. The plus though is they’re customizable, can be used for more than just kayaks or bikes, can be used with any vehicle, and if you need a tight turnaround, just take it off and turn around by…

Exactly. I have a snowmobile, and I got a cheap used trailer for it. I didn’t get a pickup truck.

He says nothing about bikes, so who tf cares? If he had a trailer, even just a utility trailer that could have other uses, he can put a kayak/bike mount right on it and use it for both at the same time if he wanted. Plus that type of trailer is so light that if he wanted to still replace his Jag with something that…

As they should.
