I would normally say find yourself a Jeep FC flatbed tow truck, but I fear if you found and subsequently purchased one, it would only server to enable your addiction on an entirely new level. 

+1 Chicken Sandwich. 

Please no. Mazda makes good vehicles right now. They don’t need to get dumped into that Nissan Renault Mitsu mess. 

I have a friend with a ‘13 and similar mileage. He’s had minor issues (alignment, sensors, etc) and the CEL pops on every once in a while, but it’s been a pretty bulletproof little bugger, and it makes fun noises. 

Like any brand, dealers can be hit or miss. I’m happy I’ve latched on to a good Mazda dealer that’s taken great care of me and both of my Mazdas.

There’s something delightful about taking a good whiff of a fresh pour before you drink it. A lot of times it wakes your brain up and you anticipate the first sip that much more. Your brain says “oh boy, this is going to be tasty, LET’S DO THIS!” 

If you are expecting muscle car power when you mash the throttle, you will be disappointed. If you are expecting a family hauler that has a little extra giddyup and grunt for passing on the highway? You will be satisfied. From the factory they are quick for being big bricks, but don't expect a sports car. I was never…

It saves time too. Instead of watching 8 bad movies, you can watch one OK movie. 

The one and only time I ever saw this movie, I went on a date with my high school girlfriend when this was in the theaters. The next day she told me she was pregnant. I was a virgin at the time. Needless to say that finished off the relationship.

I....... want to do this.... for no good reason.

Nope. I almost bought one at age 29, and again at age 33. Hello, brother. 

Hilariously you can get a console fridge as a factory option in the Flex. 

That’s not a unique condition to any make/model of car in Mass. Driving in the bay state is a learned behavior and highly refined form of assholery that is generally only tolerated and revered by the residents of said state. 

Same thing happened in my family. My grandfather lived in Brooklyn, needed a team post Dodgers, and voila, enter the Mets. Two generations later, here I am: the product of many bad decisions. 

I’ve almost purchased a flex three times. They really are tremendous family haulers. The only real knock on them is the pretty piss poor MPG numbers. Realistically the EB Flexes will pull 19 on the highway. 

The EB flex was basically a Taurus SHO tall estate wagon. It is a surprisingly good vehicle. 

Design meeting: “So we’re agreed, let’s try to make a Mazda CX-5 and toss a focus face on it.”

What fresh hell has befallen that passenger seat? Did they sew a wolverine inside of it for an hour? 

Good for Shea Holbrook getting some recognition. She’s a tremendous driver.
