Minivan Burnouts, Its a thing

If I hadn’t randomly saw one last weekend, this article would be the first heralding of the Rogue Hybrid even existing. 

Yeah, In MI (albeit the west side) and that thing is easily worth $3k.

Uggadugging is right on, using an actual press would take years off ones life. Also fun fact, for late 90s and early 2000s Hondas, to replace the wheel stud you’re supposed to separate the hub. What one quickly finds out is that there’s enough excess material on the knuckle to grind a spot to remove the stud and then

Yeah I’d kind of agree on the no character side, though I’ve only had it for about a month. Been trying to come up with a name, as my van was also named, and one of the current front runners is Maytag. And yeah, the trunk shape is a little narrow, but so far I haven’t run into an issue with that, I was even able to

It is a stick at least, so has something going for it. 

Right there with you. My 97 has 251k on it but Michigan is finally taking its toll. From being in Florida in the early years of life though, the structural metal is still immaculate. 

Though I’m not a dad both of my vehicles are pretty dad like, with the van being my dad’s previously. Both are practical, comfortable, and efficient. I unabashedly love them both. Though you wouldn’t know either, both can rip a mean burnout. Hail to practical, "boring" vehicles. 

I did a compressor on a fit last summer (working at a shop), and yes it was relatively easy to do. But also, I'm not surprised it died again, it took us weeks battling this fit to finally get it sorted. 

As a Michigander, while I don’t necessarily support recreational, they should’ve taxed it more. The demand is there and 10% is pretty low, Colorado is at 15%. Also while a gas tax sounds good it has a massive adverse effect on lower income drivers, as they usually drive more mileage to destinations with less fuel

Nope, they use butterfly switches, unless you get the last gen which is still on sale.

Just made the switch about a week ago. I went from an old beat up T&C to a 5-speed Matrix S, I’m digging it. Got into driving stick on my brothers 2.slow Jetta Wagon and have been wanting to drive manual since. Only gripe so far it is a bit hard to drive smoothly in work boots, but I’ll get used to it over time.

Definitely agree on it being down to body style. Grew up with people that called their Explorer “the truck” and it annoyed me to no end. It is not a truck. 

Not mentioned in the article is it has an off switch on the back that electrically disconnects the camera and microphones.

As a fellow FCA and any former Chrysler product fan (current vehicle: 97 T&C LXI, still trucking strong at 250k mi), please avoid anything with a .7 at the end besides the 5.7.

Paying $4/month for WSJ has worked just fine for me, pass.

I thought the same thing, glad I’m not the only one. Cars are cool yes, but... people died, no one cares about the cars. Definitely in poor taste.

That is absolutely incredible

First off, I personally witnessed Apple replacing a series zero for no cost (my brothers) due to the battery swelling within the last 6 months, so I find it hard to believe the company as a whole would reject newer watches, especially with this being a known issue. Seems like that instance could be with the store or

Based off personal experience within MI, have not seen the result it says. That said, everyone gets the shaft in MI thanks to no-fault insurance.

I had the pleasure of being able to visit Taiwan over the summer (including visiting the Longshan temple from the header picture in the midst of a rainstorm) and it was truly a wonderful, beautiful place. The Wish is an A1 taxi/vehicle and I lament the US missing out on so much stuff like it. It is basic, yes, but
