The scan and go at sam’s is precisely the reason I've renewed with sam’s and not Costco the past couple years. Not having to wait in the check-out line is worth at least the membership price imo. 

We test drove a new Pathfinder in 2014 before we decided on a used 2012 Pilot. There was really no comparison, the Pilot was better inside and out - one of the main reasons being the boxier styling. As your picture shows even Honda isn’t immune to the current focus group styling it seems. We have the 4x4 touring, it’s…

Those wheels definitely do the wagon more justice.

I’ve heard the term “jixer” quite a few times over the years by people referring to the Suzuki GSX-R sport bike. I definitely remember having no freaking idea what the guy was talking about the first time I heard it though.

I had to pull a permit to replace a light with a ceiling fan which was especially annoying because the permit cost more than the ceiling fan did, but they want to make sure the…
