Hi... Vancouver based claims person here.

The Subaru’s are well known to be fucking annoying with their chimes.  This doesn’t bode well.

My wife’s car is a new Forester - I FUCKING hate the seat belt chime.
It’s loud, and super touchy. I do not see the point of chiming away loud as shit if I’m moving <5mph. But no, I even think about putting it in drive to move down the driveway and it’s screaming at me.

I hate that car. I’m glad I only drive it when I…

Funny thing is the demise of this car will not be by consumers but by Toyota dealerships. With shortages this thing will be a six figure car at some dealerships pushing the envelope and normal dealers asking $10k over sticker. Every cool car made in the last 6-7 years has had some sort of dealer markup with it being…

On my ‘02 Yukon everything is just two too many. Washer makes the wipers flip 5 times. after three it’s dry and smearing. Doors - belts - 5 times. 2 too many

This isn’t a warranty though, it’s more of a carmax buying feeling. You can buy a used car pretty much anywhere and add a warranty, but there’s very few places that you can feel comfortable buying the car, and having months to test out every single button and make sure it doesn’t blow up the next block over. Issues…

I was just in my brother’s Outback. It’s pretty terrible. Beeps non-stop even for people in the back seat.

Agree with you on the Wagons thing, they look cool but most sedans look better. As for the EV’s, if that happened today, then yes. Neither the infrastructure nor many EV’s themselves are at a point where they wouldn’t be a huge inconvenience. But its not hard to imagine a world where EV’s won’t be. Good charging…

My hill to die on is that I’ll always choose revs over outright speed. GT3 > Turbo S, 458 > 488, etc.

Eh, I had an HD truck that I drove nearly every day and I loathed it. Quad cab Dualie, it sucked to park, handled like shit, was slow particularly considering how much fuel it used, rode like shit too. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the truck when I was hauling an enclosed trailer, but it sucked the rest of the time.

They’re just like riding a bike, you kinda just do it without thinking. What really gets you is stop and go traffic which unfortunately there are more of.

I’m a former BMW enthusiast. I’ve owned over the years:
(‘99 328, ‘05 330 ZHP, ‘08 135, ‘14 X1, ‘17 M3, ‘15 i3, ‘17 X5)

But words alone shouldn’t be met with violence, right?  I mean, it’s not like Chris Rock said “I’m going to come down there and hit Jada”.  He made a joke in bad taste; her life wasn’t being threatened, I think Will grossly over-reacted.  if he met words with words, it wouldn’t have been the issue that it is today.  

BMW’s future styling direction is genuinely abysmal - on track to be the worst in the U.S. market within this decade, and the sole thing that will keep the company afloat is brand recognition (because it sure as shit isn’t going to be reliability or heat seaters that require a fucking subscription).

Can I punch everyone who’s ever said “they’d give a kidney for material things” since I have kidney disease? No. I’m an adult and know a joke. 

I doubt he would have made the joke about Jada if she had lost her hair from chemo. Alopecia is not comparable to cancer in no form. 

Open handed slapped in front of the world and you keep rolling. Man, comedians are built different. I don't know what I would’ve done

I believe it’s a condition that affects mostly women called Alopecia and not something common.

That has been changed. Those types of pulls happening in short order together don't all impact your credit score the way they used to.

I totally agree that just being busy has a lot to do with it. Also, in my experience luxury dealers try not to "hound" their customers anyway. It's just a different mindset.
