Of course sportsman ship is correlated to the level of competition. Think about auto racing. At very low levels of track days where you run what you brung...the slower cars are supposed to make room for the faster cars to pass. That's the rules. In nascar...well that doesn't happen. that's because you can't make money…

It's not, but yeah that road needs a higher speed limit on the Vancouver side. Burnaby is 80 and Vancouver is 50 and the road for all intents and purposes is the same.

Former Vancouver Suburbanite here. Blanket 50 km/h speed limit across city is a bit goofy.

On oppo as of yesterday at 6:46am EST...you're slowing down jalopnik.

Owned by dealership yo.

The rear main seal was an especially great mechanical failure. The amount of oil leakage was both incredible and terrifying. I discovered the leak late on a sunday night, so I had to drive into work on Monday (topped up before I left). I was only at work like 5 hours and there was a puddle under the car. You could…

Hahaha yup. I just find it amazing, near 10 years to the day after the last one rolled off the line, how many are still around. They & their pontiac twin the sunfire are everywhere still.

I see a routan about once in a blue moon. I am glad you like your Odyssey. I have heard they go fast, but I have never driven one myself so am unable to opine.

Well here you can't drive without insurance (well I supposed you could but it's against the law) but yeah I agree with your general sentiment. However, I am tiring of my car now.

I shouldn't have included tires in that.

I actually think Dodge Caravans are a lot of car for the money. Then again only rented never owned one, so I don't have to worry about the transmissions.

I want your lincoln so badly. You don't understand.

In the immortal words of red green. Live and learn...at least we lived!

Meh you don't need to go that low. I earned $2k a month when I was 22 and saved for a year. I bought a $3k car.

I stole your newspaper...in my car I bought for $3k cash when I was 22.

I spend about $500 a year on parts like brakes, tires etc for my used car. However, I am tiring of it. However, I stashed a bunch of cash away so there's that.

When was that?

Google acura cl tranmissions. Glad I steered clear of that bullet.

Meh. Your blaming a dealership employee for a corporate problem. The individual dealer had about as much influence on that as you do on the orbit of the moon.

See GM full sized van.
