We had one of those! It was called Floppy Joes and as much as I loved the place, it’s amazing it survived as long as it did renting computer software like that.

Not really fair to compare a modern car to cars designed and sold in the 90's. Didn’t a bunch of countries institute stricter regulations for bumper height and such to minimize human injury in the case of hitting an actual person?

Thanks!

Understandable. My wife and daughter are prone to migraines and simply walking through a cloud of vape smoke triggers migraines for them. It’s harder for me to understand sometimes, but when it happens and I see them suffering, I really don’t need any further explanation.

The lightbar in the front bumper is probably over the average human's head...

Brake lights can easily be used for this without confusing pedestrians and other drivers as to whether or not the car is just about to back out or if the owner of said vehicle is 100 feet away taking the piss out of everyone else.

I love my XDM! It won’t lose its place in my stable anytime soon. Grip, ergonomics, simplicity and high capacity make it a winner in my book.

Wouldn't that be nullified if they produced them domestically? Just asking.

O’Reilley’s and Autozones near me still have 5 or 6 fleet white single cab rangers and last gen Canyons which they use to deliver parts to the local dealers and independent repair shops.

Looking at that truck makes my day. Good find!

True, but that is where transmission gear optimization can be used to make up for deficits when a car has an engine that either runs out of steam at the top end, or is gutless at the bottom end.

Someone once said “Customers buy horsepower, but what theu want is torque.” A heavy vehicle like a 4000lb suv needs usable torque down low in the rev band just to get moving reasonably. High torque values are why turbo diesels are so powerful off the line versus a similar sized non-diesel motor.

But it's up 37 lb-ft of torque.

I’m just itching to see a “senpai notice me” meme with a Murano Cross cabriolet and this new Evoque!

8 year old Mazda...could very likely have liability only coverage meaning there is insurance form to fill out as the insurance company would not be providing her a car of the means to go buy another one.

You think that was an appropriate response to someone who was presenting no danger or harm to anyone? If she had a weapon, I could see a use of force being justified. There was not one so yeah, I think he did want to to start some shit.

Yeah, she certainly looked, like the savage in that video...

More than likely the warranty company that administers the policy will want the named dealer part or aftermarket. Sometimes if the local dealers were charging an exorbitant amount the warranty company would source the part and send it to us. All depends on the part though. Here’s how stupid it got. All Toyota’s and

Used to work in a parts department at Carmax. That sharing of parts between Toyota and Lexus didn’t stop the Lexus parts department from charging a crap-ton more for the same parts. With that being said, the worst offended I ever saw was the Jaguar S-S-Type. Front control arms were $1200 a piece. I took a close look
