Absolutely, no excuse for this crap. If they know they have a higher than normal passenger volume they should alert passengers in advance so they know to arrive early. All of this should be planned out. 

I’m sure economy was at the top of the engineers priority list when designing a 15,000lbs armored limousine.

Lexus IS300 Sportcross. Inline six, RWD, compact size. Put a manual in it this time and it would be perfect. 

It would probably cost near double that after shipping and import duties, plus it would have to meet our crash test regulations. At 5K maybe there’s a business case but I suspect it would be closer to 10K here. At that price people will just buy used cars. 

You guys put pictures of the V90 twice and did not picture the V60

Amazing how some people think a 20 year old is mature enough to sign up for massive amounts of student loan debt, but not mature enough to date Leonardo DiCaprio.

Attracting people who just want to party is the reason Miami and Las Vegas exist. I’m sure the F1 races will do fine from a business standpoint, to the detriment of middle class fans who don’t want to spend $1500 to attend a race. 

That’s how it works at every Kayak/rafting outfitter I have gone to in North Carolina. You park and lock your car, take your keys, and get in their van. Nobody touches your car. 

Well if you’re on a family ski trip any minivan is an upgrade over the Chevy Impala we would have had instead. 

Oh god the Zafira, that was an unfortunate choice for a road trip across Spain. We managed to fit six people and luggage in that thing but it was very tight, especially for the unfortunate person who drew the short straw and got the third row. Fortunately I was one of 2 people on that trip that could drive stick so I…

I primarily remember GM minivans as being the thing you got upgraded to at the rental car counter. 

Sad but not unexpected. The Q60 should have been epic. I badly wanted a G35 coupe when I was a broke teenager and went to drive a CPO Q60 when I was finally making decent money. I am exactly the target buyer for that car and I was pretty underwhelmed by the driving experience compared to the G35. The Q60 is beautiful…

How much of a pain in the ass it is to source certain non essential parts for older cars. and trim pieces for older cars. My 94 300zx is far from ancient but some minor items that affect my ability to use the car are a pain to find. 

A lot of the bigger boats are available to rent only in theory. They register them as a business so they can use them as a tax dodge. 

I’ve never had an issue with that personally, then again my feet are pretty sizable. I have some shoes I have to take off to fit the pedal box well. 

I looked into AAA years ago and it was much cheaper to add roadside assistance to my car insurance. They’ve never kept me waiting more than a few hours. 

I’ve never understood people’s arguments against driving barefoot. Going shoeless just means there is less barrier between you and the pedal. I’m wearing sandals pretty frequently and I hate driving with them on, so I always kick them off and drive barefoot. 

This is basically the function Carplay fulfills, and it can be nice having your waze directions on the larger infotainment screen instead of your iphone. 

Odyssey is 4.5 inches, Pilot is 8 inches, so it’s a significant difference.

I fully understand the arguments against CUVs, but ground clearance can be a nice thing to have when you live in a city with garbage roads and frequent flooding. Our crumbling infrastructure definitely plays a role in CUV popularity.
