I love our Mazda5 van. It’s the perfect vehicle for us. Of course, we have only two kids. so we don’t use the third row. It drives like a car, won’t require you own your own refinery (like an SUV), and is remarkably comfortable for long drives. And we love the sliding doors—because if there’s one thing our kids know…

... and then a view from where the oil pan normally resides, which resembled a mass of guacamole stalagmites

Make sure it’s engine oil you’re adding.

Little known fact: this is how the Forester was born.

You gotta learn to drive with the fear. And there ain’t nothing more god damned frightening than driving with a live falcon in the car, Ricky Bobby.

If only we could find a car we knew his son would think is cool, that’s also fast and has a reliable toyota engine. How will we ever dream up such a car.

Justice is served!

I’ll admit, this was my first thought whe I heard of the settlement. I wish I had read that paragraph more clearly, since I thought the buyout was only valid for the people who owned the cars when Dieselgate hit in September 2015.

This is probably the only site where I can talk about dealerships and sex toys and have my editor give it a thumbs up.

Get a phone mount.

I took the test and I got this

I hope this doesnt mean hes not sending my money.

I feel like that drives a lot of the practical car market - dads being expected to pull their weight when it comes to kid duty. In previously generations I can see a family having a more fun and less utilitarian vehicle for dad while mom got stuck with a mini van for toting the kids around.

well he thinks he’s a financial genius by not paying taxes and filing for bankruptcy any time he can to avoid debt, but if Ford makes a sound business decision it’s the face of the evil empire.

With dieselgate cost cutting, this only makes sense. 3-door hatches are now a tiny market anyway.

The plus is that the B pillar is never in sight, so its like a convertible in the amount of view you get.

I quite like my two door GTI. I mostly bought it because I’m tall, so I can slide the seat back nice and far while still having arm rest and window on my left since the doors are longer.

2 am in Florida, Feds including ICE agents quietly line up outside a quiet, unassuming white import shop. They place chains on the large overhead door which are firmly attached to the back of an acquired MRAP. With a solid tug and wail from the diesel powered behemoth, it rips the entire door and parts of the wall…

That’s why I Honda. Just duck when you get in an accident.

Buying a Honda Insight is still the worst decision he’s ever made, a problem somehow solved by the second worst decision he’s ever made.
