Wouldn’t some of the plastic bits have melted from said fire? That cup looks too intact to have survived a car fire let alone kept anything insulated inside.

Yes, always get the coverage with Turo. My only experience with Turo was when I visited southern Utah once and needed a somewhat offroad capable vehicle and the only thing available was a 2004 Nissan Xterra with 125,000 miles. There wasn’t going to be anything extreme, just needed something with a little bit of ground…

Definitely. I had a 2012 Focus a/t for 10 years and put 150k on it, but I had 7 or 8 instances where my car had to go in for 3 new clutches, new shift controller, a handful of tcu reflashes. I joined the buyback class action suit but Ford deemed I didn’t qualify for a full buyback and offered me $1200 in compensation.…

I’ve heard from ambulance drivers about drivers being impaled by their dog’s bones when their steering wheel airbag deployed during a collision forcing the dog into the driver’s chest. I love my dog, but no.

I live in TN. It’s happened enough in the past to where this legislation had to be considered, but it also happened again to three children on Christmas day who lost both parents, one that was a teacher in a school down the road from me. I wouldn’t say it happens more in TN than any other state, just that TN was the…

Anything without proper winter/snow tires.

I bought a 2012 Focus brand new and started having transmission issues around 30K. From that point, around every 20-30K miles, I either had to get the transmission reflashed (several times), a new TCM (went through two), a new clutch (went through three), or a new shifter assembly. They never offered to completely…

In addition to the great Miata & Fit recommendations, there’s also the Mazda 2 and the Fiesta ST.

The R5 it’s transforming into is a mirrorless camera, not a DSLR.

Another program worth signing up strictly for the discounts is AARP. People don’t realize that anyone, of any age and not just retirement age, can sign up. 

In that condition, the plan might have been worth $20k. You can get a fully sorted Cessna 150 in the 50's.

I’ve posted this before in other Carvana related articles. You experienced EXACTLY what my wife and I did when we purchased a low mileage Honda Odyssey minivan from Carvana 4 or 5 years ago in that there were numerous damages that were not listed in the van’s listing. The listing for our van was stated to be in…

Right?! Japan has had the Levorg for some time now. If only we could get it.

You experienced EXACTLY what my wife and I did when we purchased a low mileage Honda Odyssey minivan from Carvana 4 or 5 years ago in that there were numerous damages that were not listed in the van’s listing. The listing for our van was stated to be in ‘Excellent’ condition though it did show there were a few…

Finally time to upgrade the kid’s iPad 2.

Carvana doesn’t inspect their vehicles, you say? That explains why they sold my wife and I a Honda Odyssey with broken front tie rods and an aftermarket front bumper that we discovered in a Honda dealership inspection during our 7-day return window. It was obvious the van had been in some sort of front end collision…

If GM(C) is smart, they’ll make an SUV variant with a 3rd row and that’ll sell a ton. Although, it could eat into Denali sales.

The wife and I had an interesting experience with Carvana about 4 years ago. We bought a 2012 Honday Odyssey with 20k on the odometer listed in excellent condition (I don’t see that they label conditions on their site anymore). We met the delivery driver in a grocery store parking lot as we weren’t anywhere near one…

On Block’s YouTube channel, there’s a video where they say it has 45 minutes of charge and charges in 45 minutes as well. Not sure how much of that 45 minutes could be WOT.

I’m slowly getting through S1 as well in anticipation of S2 and beyond as everyone says it gets better after S1.
