YES! Bring on the Spam Musubi. Going to the ABC store in Honolulu and picking up multiple varieties of Musubi was the highlight of my trip there and I can’t seem to get the rice right myself...

Cool paint, but I don’t see why it’s named after the candle from Beauty and the Beast and his... vagina?

A 2.5 is probably fine for MPG, the 50 isn’t very big and that size Mazda has had NA 2.0s in the not so distant past. My general rule is if the car could handle normal driving if you took away the turbo, you should get decent relative MPG. If you would be falling behind traffic at a light if you took away the turbo…

I’d go for the nicest one available in a manual, and orange. TRD OffRoad, and the highest package. $53-ishk

And people with 5 kids aren’t buying sedans, news at 11.

Because the EPA test cycles allows the downsized turbo engines to stay off boost basically all the time, where real world you’re on boost more than not.

Yeah I find the modular design a minimum generally for modern cars (2.0 I4, 3.0 6, 4.0 V8)

AMG V8s.

Headline got me thinking he wanted a car with a huge gas tank that runs on E85...

Enough with the damn gatekeeping of the term SUV. SUVs were BOF because most of the manufacturers that made them were cheap and just slapped a different body on their already on sale truck platform. All cars were body on frame too, that doesn’t make new unibody cars any less cars.

1. With your ipod/aux jack in your car, you have no control over the music through your car, which means if you want to change your playlist you still need to pick it up, which is what they’re claiming is the problem. I’m not old but still prefer physical controls, but your argument for not wanting something like…

The chickens get me every time. Sterile Germans in a room looking like they’re probably actually doing research on the chickens and decide to play around with a completely unfazed chicken.

Homeowner’s insurance is technically the same way too, since if you get a mortgage, and most are federally backed, you’re required to have insurance and if not lenders can force coverage on you. But guess what, if they force coverage on you it’s only for their liability (balance of the loan) and nothing else (no…

Yeah my wife’s car has Carplay and I’ve never had issues where it stops working mid-use. Only time I’ve ever had issues is at start-up since the screen on her Macan is a bit slow to fully load and if you plug in right away after starting up it won’t recognize the phone. Once you’re plugged in and using it it’s…

No it’s completely because they want the subscription for updates. Otherwise they’d have an app that you can download map updates from your phone through bluetooth.

So the accident was one chain, two belts (timing).

Or maybe, per the linked article, it was January 4th in Colorado and probably a lot icy

Yeah I’m not sure on that, I thought it was just GVWR but there could be some other factor like intended use or payload, or they changed something recently due to the massive personal-use vehicles on sale now.

I get it’s easy and the gecko is cute but, maybe try someone other than Geico? In my area the companies that are leaving or doing pre-binding verifications are mostly the big companies that will take anyone, and for most people that have a clean driving record it’s not the place you want to be.

Many companies are using declination of new business as a risk control method. The risk you know and insured for years is better than the risk you don’t.
