Got really accustomed to sports talk radio for under 20 minute trips or anything that doesn’t require car play

Basic Car keys. Get rid of the start button now so prevalent in cars since you need the key-fob anyway within proximity to start the car.

I was in the same boat. Base bronco is actually a killer deal if you could actually get one for it’s listed price. Ended up getting a base Wrangler for MSRP last week!

I was on vacation there and wanted to ride the L just to say I rode the L. It broke down on my ride.

Ironically, the best finance manager I ever dealt with was at a Hyundai dealer. She wasn’t a spiky haired MBA who tried to upsell with random crap - I’ve definitely had those - but a nice woman who gave legitimately good financial advice beyond the car purchase and didn't try to add anything.

So my wife hates that I hate the beach.  We live in the mountains of North Georgia and I just like the mountains.  I’m in my late 30's and took my first cruise about 4 years ago and absolutely loved it.  I know some people hate it but man I really enjoy vacating that way.  I would absolutely cruise more if I could…

I can’t blame them, but it’s not because EV’s blatantly suck. Tesla does not offer a pursuit-rated package and there is a ton of development and optimization to suit these vehicles to pursuit duty. From seats to wheels, to weight-carrying capability, to prep for upfitting with electronics, and so much more, these…

Not guilty because the vessel was not sunk by his actions. It was sunk by the weight of his pair.

I had a car once with seats that felt great for up to four hours, but anything after that was just about crippling. It’s not something I would have figured out on the test drive.

I wonder about that, though. Are these issues more frequent with the Bronco launch, or are they just more publicized because the Bronco is wildly popular? We probably don’t hear about it when a Chevy Equinox comes with mismatched parts because no one gives a shit except the buyer.

“One Piece At A Time” was my first thought too!

I think what happened here is the would-be buyer of the dealership wanted to pay all-cash and rejected Kia’s loan offers that were a contingency of the sale price. Either that, or he wanted the building’s glass etching fee removed and it’s causing chaos.

On the other hand, your HVAC lasted more than 10 years? I’m impressed. They are currently crafted to fail permanently at the 10 year mark. 

IMHO, the changes you’re describing might happen in the short term but the siren song of saving $$$ will be too strong to ignore long term. 5 years down the road: “Can’t we save 3% getting this from China?”  “Yes, but we’re paying a little extra to reduce risk of a supply chain disruption.” “The pandemic was FIVE…

A quick perusal of the linked story indicates that the fire numbers were not adjusted for vehicle age.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

Ford 6.0 diesel. Worst of the worst. You might think this is a joke, but it’s not, someone actually engineered this: engine uses dirty engine oil and pumps is up in the back of the valley to 3500psi and into a series of IIRC 4 segment tubes that are all connected by press fit o-rings to each head. Inside the valve…

Don’t forget when some brands issued separate door and ignition keys! I don’t miss that!

There’s literally only one indestructible bike — mid grade and up bmx bike. I rode literally 10's of thousands of miles in the late 80's, 90's and 00's and was very, very lucky in the injuries department. Lots of racing, group rides, mountain biking, and long “tours”.

...do they have special models that are cheaper and only at walmart?
