While I agree with your sentiment, a teen can just easily get killed in anything at highway speeds. It starts with them making a poor decision in the first place(texting, drunk driving, speeding). The high horsepower car just makes more efficient work of it.

Wife has an ‘08 CX9. No rust. Must mean all of them are great now? 

Must not have really damaged the other car?  

What’s that from? Is that one of the Home Improvement kids?

What happened next?

No, but if it was priced right...  

Some have a honeycomb of plastic in lieu of foam.

I wanted to do this, but there is not that big of job market (automotive wise). Get an engineering degree.

For selling an old DD, with very little value? The abandoned gas station/restaurant at a major intersection in town. That’s how I sold my old Buick. It was a used car lot all the time.

Add: the car applies the parking brake, veers into the concrete barrier (friction slowing it down as well), and the airbags/crumple zones/seatbelts save the occupants of the car. 

How about the car applies the parking brake, veers into the concrete barrier (friction slowing it down as well), and the airbags/crumple zones/seatbelts save the occupants of the car?

Or apply the parking brake?

Please remind Ford F-150 owners to add an LED (on with lights, brighter w/ braking and turn signal) strip under their tailgates. Certain years with the backup sensors in the taillights can’t be seen during heavy rain.

It’s high school, that’s what kids do.  

I received a free 1985 Nissan Sentra from a relative as my first car. It had faded paint with absolutely no shine to it. Since my father had a body shop, we decided to paint it. With it being a puke yellow car, with brown interior, the only color that seemed to work was another yellow. So I found the brightest color…

It’s the license plate on a guy at works Mustang.

I was considering an upgrade when they were re-introduced in 2009. Once I sat in it, I realized I can see out better in my ‘02.  No sale.  I haven’t been in a 6th gen sense I’ve heard it wasn’t any better.

I keep getting told by Mazda and Ford that both the CX9 and Edge need the tires rotated religiously to avoid the wear I’m seeing. It doesn’t help.

Does yours eat rear tires?  Ours seems to have always worn the inside of the rears because of the camber.

That would last about 10 minutes.
