Is this kinda like how every third car in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” was an e39 or a Q5, and there were ads for a new Yugo?  Maybe they’ve figured it out in that universe.

Leaving Boston’s Logan Airport last fall- someone brought Legal Seafood clam chowder in a to-go container as a boarding snack.

The Taurus X was a major improvement over the Freestyle- it introduced the 3.5 V6/six speed auto and dropped the Freestyle’s 3.0/CVT.  That same powertrain carried over to the new Explorer/Flex- and the Flex was really more the direct replacement for the Taurus X than was the new Explorer.

Having been born and raised near Boston and now having lived at various locations around the country since, I can say that the Boston auto market is the exception, not the rule, in the US as a whole.

Ah, yes...the IROC-G.

BMW owner here.  You’d have to go Italian for it to get worse.

What killed them before the first generation LS? I still see early LS400s on an almost daily basis, and they’re a star of the advertise-on-craigslist third rate car lots these days...but I think it’s been at least ten years since I’ve seen a ‘90s Q45.

“the GOP has hollowed Christianity out and made it into a puppet for hate.”

There’s your problem. The vast majority of “Christians” out there practice an ideology so antithetical to what the Bible says Jesus actually taught that, well, that’s now the brand. Therefore, anyone on the outside sees members of that club as…

Also teenage drivers.  They’re this generation’s Camaro...an IROC-G, if you will.

My ‘16 Sonata Limited is pretty quiet- but the first thing I did after buying it CPO a couple months ago is swap out the tires and that likely made a world of difference.  The OEM Hankooks were trash.

Nah.  Even given the snow factor, it’s more logical to have the sweep oriented toward the driver- otherwise you’ll get a non-touched area in the field of view, especially for taller drivers.  

Yeah, so that’s Edd China somewhere in the UK.

You’re probably thinking of “Brewster’s Millions,” but there’s a minor league park in Montgomery, AL that’s not too far off (The train is at least out of play.)

We’re on our second Flex and absolutely love it- but when the time comes to replace it, there’ll be nothing in Ford’s stable with which to do so.

I’m completely baffled how Ford could just let a product with such a high owner retention rate completely whither on the vine for 11 years with only one mid-cycle refresh-…

I’ve still got my e39 (it’s my daughter’s high school beater now, and currently at the shop for leaking injectors that I’m not willing to change myself in this weather) so I still get that “what’s going to break next?” thrill of discovery.

That last part is why I just picked up a CPO ‘16 Sonata Limited. It’s not the excitementmobile of my past vehicles, but damn...I can sleep at night without wondering what’s going to break next.

This must be what adulting feels like.

The Volvo straight six was originally 2.9 liters.

A good friend of mine in Mass. just picked up a pristine ‘88 Suburban from the PNW as a daily driver (after getting it rustproofed all to hell, of course.)  He gets compliments on it all the time.
