This is why I always try to buy cars where I can actually replace the stereo. It's getting harder and harder though.

This has been on going for years. Back ~2008 we would notice that when a new version of Chrome came out, it was fast and wonderful. Updates would slow it down tremendously, and many of us would move to FireFox and be disappointed with the experience. Then the next version of Chrome would come out. We'd switch back and…

Yes! Why are you bringing race into this? You don't leave kids unattended in a car for 10 minutes or 10 seconds no matter where the car is!

I have two kids at two different day cares. I deal with the horrible ordeal of unbuckling and taking in and rebuckling rather than leave a kid in the car while I drop or pick up the other one. It's just soooooo much work. Seriously the repo with the kid in the car bothers me less than the fact she left the kid in…

Never before have I seen such a clear case of everyone is wrong! Never leave a car unattended with a baby inside even for five minutes! Don't repo a car when someone is only three days late on the payment!

Subaru is the only vehicle out of those shown against it that has a constant 50/50 torque split at all times instead of being very FWD biased. The Forestor may have had a rear, limited slip differential. The competitors do not have that available. About the only way I would say that tests are rigged is that there was…

didn't they shut it down to all cars or at least non-residents?

No fortunately. My wife and I are both in insurance. As such we are well versed in how these things are handled and who is responsible. I'm sure you can imagine how mesmerizing our dinner conversations are. There's always the problem of having enough evidence to prove the damage was from the towing company, but good…

That one pissed me off. As a kid I was in an accident. I wasn't an insurance expert yet by any means, and I had no idea that my policy covered towing. (Read your policy kids!) The tow truck driver told me he could tow it where ever I wanted for a fee or to their yard for free. What he doesn't tell you is how much…

Yes, they can claim that, but I know of numerous insurance claims that have been paid out for damage that the towing company has caused. They are still responsible for damages caused. Of course good luck if they are not properly insurance or you're not...

If they damage it, you file an insurance claim. They are responsible for damage they cause. If you file the claim through your insurance, they will typically subrogate against the insurance of the towing company to your deductible and their money back. You can also file directly against the towing company's…

You may have outgrown your friends. I'm with you in part though. The non-stop, intentional collecting of things is a waste of time and money when you should be going after your childhood dreams at this point.

Kids are great, but only if you want kids. If you don't want kids, please don't have kids.

I hated the seatbelt chime in my Civic. It was so damn loud and annoying. I never did figure out how to disable it in a reasonable way. It didn't help the the Civic forums would delete any post and threaten to ban people over details of disabling it. I just hated how annoying it was in the time from when I started the…

Exactly. Isn't this the V8 that is notorious for needing an $8,000 service to the timing chain and associated parts?

I couldn't find the clip about how it took 13 years to actually start the recall, but yeah, I'm not interested in buying a car from a company with such awful culture with regards to safety and recalls.

This sooooo much! I have only had one good experience at a Mazda dealership. The rest were not good with several just ignoring me and never even talking to me.

I really have no issue with this. If it works well, it's basically like a simple DVD player for the streaming age. I hate to say it, but VUDU is the only service worth using for movies because it works on so many devices and allows you to sync to your PC, tablet, or smart phone for use on a plane. Yes, we all know the…

Sounds like somebody should send him some glitter.

Make it a relatively shirt, 3 door hatch and I'll buy it. As it is, it looks too close in size to the STI and probably longer thank the Golf R.
