I have a ‘what car should I buy’ but I can’t find the contact email

On ice, larger contact patch is generally not what you want. Larger contact patch leads to reduced lbs/square inch, which is key to maintaining static friction.

Oh man! That takes me back.

You could get a 2013 Mazda5 with the skyactive-g 2.0L, but that car is already 12 Model Years old. If you are in Long Island, I understand the appeal of a MPV. The Ford Transit Titanium Passenger Wagon is the right choice. MY 2019 is the facelift version, and 2020 ended the SWB version. Here is a 2020 Titanium w/ 40k

We had a 2014 Mazda5 and loved it as a relentlessly efficient TARDIS of a car. If you need six seats in a small package the only real answers are buy the best 2014-15 Mazda5 you can find or a Transit Connect. Otherwise a Honda Fit is a sensible choice. I would avoid the Kia Soul, the older ones were a meh driving

I... don't have that issue? Then again I have enough self control to not blindly impulse-buy garbage off Amazon...

Controversial opinion. If you don’t think you can handle delivering a bunch of packages, don’t sign up to be a guy who delivers a bunch of packages.

The Ford Transit is probably the best newer vehicle analogous to the Mazda 5. I can't think of anything else even close. The Fit is a great car (there's one in my driveway), but it's definitely a size class (or two) smaller. The Metris is definitely a size class larger and purportedly a miserable vehicle and worst on

It does come down to how many people are being carried. The Fit (I’m definitely not objective) will carry 4 and their weekend luggage, or 2 and enough for at 5k trip.

Let’s hope that it’s a continuing trend in 2025.

I was offended by the Miata header photo until I read the reasoning. lol

Eew.  Then I’d have to make a Hertz rental and own a Tesla.  That’s a dookie double dose.

If you do any international traveling, you might consider enrolling in Global Entry, which includes PreCheck. It does take more time to process and requires an in person interview (which can be done at some airports), but it has saved my wife and I enough time to be worth it.

18 different highway laws proven to reduce crashes, save lives and reduce injuries”

Counterpoint - Red light cameras are a cash grab.  Every fiefdom throughout St. Louis put them in their neighborhoods.  Few were in school zones, but in large intersections where they could cash in.  The real trouble in St. Louis is that cops have given up on traffic citations as they are too hard and too dangerous

Shoot, I would import this thing if I could

It’s crazy to think that Nissan could be the Tesla of EVs today if they had simply made an EV that didn’t look like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. 

His comment about Tesla highlights the massive conflict of interest Musk has. No CEO should be in government, much less the world’s richest, with lucrative government contracts.

Bet that VIN was gone before the ad even went out
