Absolutely agree. I am six three and hit the trifecta for having issues finding cars. Big, Tall, Wide. I sat in the GMC and the Chevy versions of the Colorado/Canyon and could not believe that I did not fit in it. I tried the regular cab, and could not get the seat far enough back. Tried the suicide door cab (what…

I vote Hybrid drives. Hear me out. They may be all the rage now, but they only add a few (maybe 10-20%) MPG to a cars rating, they are expensive, and don’t accomplish what you want. Which is to let the car run on electric at low speeds for longer distances. You have the traditional gas tech in it (so all that…

I do understand the concept, but not the practice. I know what the bare metal expenses are, and what I want to spend money on. Bare metal has to happen, and what you have to earn no matter what. Anything above that goes to the next bucket which is savings and retirement. Anything above that is fun money. Anything left…

Custom ordered my last 4 cars. 2 Pontiacs, 1 Chevy, and 1 Nissan. All of them came within 4 months of ordering, and never had an issue. The Nissan was the surprise as it was shipped from Japan.

My parents live in the Sault during the summers. Cannot tell you how many times I have ridden a Jet Ski right next that sucker. Holy Shit are those huge.

Eliminating the social aspects of life does paint one as a loner (both perceived and observed). However as you said, you can do some things to help that. Allow once a month a night to be with friends. Limit the budget but you can do that. The rest of the time you can do BYOB nights at friends houses, etc. The social…

There are three different types of rail connections. Express, Commuter, and Long Haul. Express trains are designed to take you from one place to another, quickly, with minimal stops, at the greatest spead possible. Commuter connections are designed to take lots of people, a short distance, and with lots of stops to be…

I think that depends on the child's behavior as well. If the child is throwing a full on tantrum in the store, "because I said so" works. If the child wants to get into it further in the car, then a better answer should be said. Then again I never had to deal with much talk back from my kids as No would have…

There are a 100 ways to skin this cat in terms of budgeting. If you are living paycheck to paycheck, skrimping by, not knowing where you money goes, then yes, you have to track every penny. If you have a solid income, have solid emergency fund, have solid retirement savings, then you don’t need to track every penny…

I want to do this trip this summer. I am in the planning stages. I am done with work in June and have some time to take it. I will see if I can squeeze it in. Might do it around 4th of July.

Lived in Singapore as a kid and ate at Hawker Centers all the time. I would skip out of school lunch and hit up a local hawker.

Neutral: Want to fix the prius?

3rd ... I am not a millennial, but I will never buy a car sight unseen. I will always test drive it, and make sure that everything is alright before I sign on the line. The issue is that dealers refuse to make deals over the internet, they insist on playing games, and then keeping you in place to wait you out to drip…

I test drove one of these (non-diesel, but 2014) for a week and it had them. I would say that if you are used to any form of controls on the steering wheel, you will get used to them quickly. I liked the positioning as it made the front less busy (as it already has cruise and the whole control for the dash on the…

My questions would be two fold. How does it tow a trailer that has about 6000 pounds in it (it is rated 7500). This would be a camper tow trailer or car hauler.

You want to know how to sell more Malibu's to the general population? Simple. Quit selling them as fleet cars, rental cars, and police cars. All 3 things people hate to see and then they will be thought of as "exciting" again. However if your goal is to get as many cars as you can, from people who will pay a lot, then…

I like this list. I have been single for a while now and dating has changed a lot from when I was in my 20's. My one comment about the bed frames, what if you don't have just one, but 3 beds (with frames) and an extra frame to boot?

I don't see where they support zipped and encrypted files. I would maybe do this but all my files would be zipped, encrypted before I uploaded.

When a ship comes into port, they throw out lines so it can be docked. Those lines for one of these huge ships are huge and heavy. This dude apparently hooked it up to his pickup truck to pull the line further into land to get it onto a cleat on the port dock. They turn on the winch once the rope is tied down to…

Learning? No. Money, time, effort to expend? Yes. As stated many times, I got lazy in my backup routine. Telling me over and over there are other methods is like telling a person who wants to drive a Cadillac, that there are fords and chevys and buicks, etc. You aren't going to get their attention as they…
