It’s really impressive that the V8 gets 17/22 MPG. My old Outback 2.5XT got that.   My how times change.

If you look at the technical mesaurements of intrusion between the odyssey http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/honda/odyssey-minivan/2018

That thing just oozes New Jersey / Staten Island.

They technically are very biased, as they primarily comprise of insurance companies (both for profit,mutual (policyholder owned), and reinsurance). The goals of the insurance companies is to reduce their losses. Incidentally, it’s very closely aligned with the well being of their policy holders. Among their…

The structural rating is based on how much deformation there is (straight how many cm did it change), while the overall rating is also based on injury criteria.  In this case, the Pacifica deformed in structure, but no strikes against the dummy.

This is how we ended up with a Mercedes GL. I mean, it’s 2x as much, but you should check out a rear crash test on the siennas. No Bueno!

Are you sure this isn’t the midwest (of Ireland or something), becuase it’s a veritable bargin. This is about the price of a silicon valley shitshack.

WTCC, DTCC, V8Supercars, WRC.  Your point is garbage.

Given that my Subaru had 2 turbo + 1 head gasket replacements all under warranty (extended), I don’t fully disagree.

Sometimes you need cold and impersonal, because at the end of the day, you want a doctor who sees a lot of patients. This has been proven that a doctor that sees more patients are less likely to…

We can release the bats on them en masse.  Once the bats take over, we’ll just send in the badgers.

Fuck yeah it’s fraud. It’s downright disgusting that the American public is taught that the prices are somehow justified and that healthcare has to be rationed somehow.

13k stings for even people making 250k a year. But basically 13k was the cost to the insurance company and they basically passed it on to your parents. American healthcare is a sham.

This is why I went with Kaiser, which has no real billing due to it's completely intergrative nature. My wife recently had to do a procedure outside Kaiser outside qualification.  Kaiser literally had a team of 5 people spend an hour trying to figure out external billing codes with a particular hospital.   We never…
