My dad bought one because he wanted something fun to drive and fuel efficient. He really likes it and put 30k on it in a year - hasn’t had any problems at all with it and he likes the MPG’s.

If it is any one of the following:
-rubber
-known to fail regularly
-will cause a catastrophic issue if it fails
-already broken
-or a safety item

Most of the time I have switched cars, it was because of life changes. Sold my 330ci because I needed 4 doors for the new baby. Sold the M5 because we needed the money for a kitchen remodel and just bought a house. Sold the E36 M3 sedan because we needed more room with the second kid. I’ve now got a 540i wagon and I…

Even more fun is when the “metal” carrier on the inside breaks. My wife’s X5 has broken the front driver side and passenger side ones.

That was a really good part of the episode. Unfortunately, it did get a bit lost in all of the story building going on around it. I mean, how can it not when the episode had two big reveals: getting Elsie back and that William’s daughter is in the park?

This would be the most hilarious outcome.

It made me a bit sad - the idea of the Model 3 was so solid: smaller car with all of the tech and appropriate appointments of the S. They just flubbed the styling’s execution.

Yeah, the Model X is just too damn ugly. The S is actually good looking (the 3 has weird proportions and doesn’t wear the S’s styling well).

I still love the look of the current set of Chargers. The front looks spot on. Just wish they made a wagon of it like they used to. I mean, seems like everyone else is making wagons again, you can’t say that a Magnum Hellcat wouldn’t be awesome.

I feel pretty astonished when I get something done in the time frame I told (lied) to everyone I could get it done in.

Stef, you know the right answer is a wagon. I really think I found the perfectly sized vehicle in my E39 wagon. We can argue all day about its reliability, but it really is just big enough to be useful, and not so bulky that it is still fun to drive.

My boys are dumb and would have pulled harder on the lever if I told them that.

Not sure if that’s a lie to my spouse or to myself.

This. And I think he read the letter wrong - it doesn’t say he is in the shower with his girlfriend while he blows his nose out. She just finds it disgusting in general (like my wife does). However, it does help a lot to clear out your sinuses - even my ENT doctor recommended it.

A buddy of mine had an Dakota R/T while I had a lowly Ranger. I always loved how his truck looked and that engine was pretty cool - to think a V8 in a truck that was only slightly bigger than mine! Even knowing how bad it is now, I still have a softspot for it (and the Durango from the same time period).

I still hate that you can’t get new cars with wheels that have a lip from the factory. BMW used to offer the best wheels: M-parallels, Style 42's (pretty much BBS LM’), Style 5's, E39 M5 wheels, etc. Even Toyota used to just go to BBS and get those RK (?) ones that had a good lip. However, the ones posted in the…

Was scrolling through Offspring and just saw Coco last night and had to comment. We were watching it with our kids (4 and 6), but we finished it without them. This movie was really sad and puts out a lot of complex emotions and themes. I mean, it was really good, my wife was just a wreck through the last 1/3rd of the…

And bacon and cheese. Only way to make grits tolerable.

I wonder what the over/under is on Cassie biting the dust at the end of the movie/post-credits.

Nice phrase there.
