And once again George Carlin was right again on multiple points.

Is this becoming a thing?

The Toyota Previa was a good one for my family. I only drove it long enough to get my license before I bought my first car. Pretty much the same story with my brother. My sister, on the other hand, was pretty content to just take the free wheels and drive them off. It was durable, needed only regular maintenance, was…

I want someone to paint a mouth in there.

Looks like we’re in the minority, but I agree. Even the back is interesting in a not-bad way.

Now that I’ve seen a goofy smiling face in the rear of that thing, I won’t be able to see anything else.

I’m not talking about driving on the shoulder on offramps or anything illegal. I mean when you come up to an intersection, there’s a space between the people going forward and the curb. In California and the handful of other states I’ve driven in, if there’s a reasonable amount of room to do so, you use it, even if…

See, I have the opposite preference for a similar reason. I don’t deal with road salt, and tan interiors are the bane of my existence. The last car I had with a black interior got a crock pot full of food all over the floor. After a good cleaning, it’s like it never happened. You dribble coffee in a tan interior once,…

Arizona drivers have their own problems. I still remember the abject terror and rage on the face of the drivers when I drove in the space to the right of them to make a right turn. I grew up driving in LA. If you have room to make it through, you do it!

Kind of surprised to not see more trucks like the F-150 up there.

Damn. There’s paying too much for a car and then there’s getting swindled. I don’t know how those people sleep at night.

Yeah, I won’t begrudge someone making some profit reselling a car, but don’t be telling me porky pies. I wonder if he bought it, found the scars, and then just offloaded it on you.

And this, ladies and gentlemen is how you end up with people selling stripped cars on CL for $50k because they’ve had that much work put into it.

Wooow. I’m sure it’s really nice and probably worth some extra cash, but wow.

“Do you come with the car?”

Those damn daytime commercials drilled that crap into my brain. I don’t speak like that, I don’t think like that, but when I’m drumming up a car ad it just comes spilling out.

Right? If we were talking about more car for less money, nobody would have anything to say.

Well, you’ve convinced me. Now make it so I can buy one!

This is my new favorite thing in life. I must own one someday.

In the winter my wife keeps the seat heaters on pretty much the entire time she’s in the car. I don’t think I’ve ever used them. A heated steering wheel, though...that’s been really high on my want list.
