>>>My next door neighbour bought a brand new infinity and was very proud of it for a week or so, then all excitement vanished quickly. Once on vacation rented the prior generation QX60 (the mid-sized one at 200 inches, on sale until 2023 I think). what an awful "luxury" car. what an awful...

Being "spreadsheet smart" is not the same as being "real world smart". Something that I'll make sure to burn into the brains of my kids once they get old enough to understand....as I've seen both worlds. example: a professional lumberjack/arborist is one of the best practioners of applied...

Road to Hell paved w/good intentions. Film at 11. Won't make sense even if Honda gets big Japanese government subsidies in return for keeping Nissan JDM plants open.

You are correct....but the problem is that in "the good ol' days" the 1st owners of cars could be lazy with their maintenance and the 2nd, 3rd owner might not even notice. Will a 2022-era GDI turbo CVT getting a 10k OCI during its lease, then neglected during the ownership by the 2nd owner...

which is why the US is selling less new vehicles than pre-Covid, and at the same number as the mid-80's----even though we probably have 100 million more people living in the country. The bizarro-world used car market and Toyota used car tax will not go away anytime soon...

sounds more like a browser add-on. a screenshot would go a long way to figure out if it's from google or someone else.

this is a fun one too...

If you go to the Castrol oil finder, you can find out how much more oil a 7317 holds versus a 6607. I think it's 0.15 quarts or something like that.... compare a car spec-ed for 7317 (honda accord) versus a car spec-ed for 6607 (almost every Mazda)...

See if a Mazda 3 or Mazda 6 is to her liking. Conventional transmission, 2.5 Skyactiv engine is used in nearly every Mazda. I'd buy a used Mazda w/100,000 miles when compared to the options available... or a TSX (rebadged Euro Honda Accord) from early 2010's-era, K24 engine! or even...

because no one gets promoted for thinking outside their company's box, unless it's a company norm. Incentives inside a company are set from the top down.

If you plan on selling the car within 4 years/10k miles per year, whatever you both agree to like. If you plan on keeping this car over mile 80,000+, Toyota. Unless you two really like the VW for your own reasons and won't bat an eye if a $1,000 bill came out of the blue.

Those C-pillars. it's the PAWG for cars

A lot of you already know about this, but I didn't know about this until I bought a cigarette lighter voltmeter, battery tester, and dove into the auto electrical rabbit hole. My car w/LED headlights, doesn't charge the lead-acid battery at 14.4 unless the car's air thermometer reads in the...

I have one, use it to monitor the short-tripping car. It provides similar data as my battery charger. 100% satisfied for my basic needs (should I be OCD and top-off charge the battery this week?). 100% recommend for a basic/intermediate-level DIYer or as a spare for the glove box if you...

pay attention to what the locals are going. If all of the locals are avoiding the far left lane, there's a reason. you are not in the one corner of the US where peeps have excellent lane discipline, lol

My uncle kept a 2nd gen Sedoa in his snowbird house. I drove that Sedona from Florida for 12+ hours straight and that driver's seat was awful! horrendous, arse hurting (for me) that was the drive that red-pilled me to hear out the Hyundai-Kia haters. As before that I had only been behind...

Get used to a permanent weirdo used car market until new car sales return to pre-Covid norms. People are not buying new cars at the same rate as in the past for a host of reasons, while population keeps inching up. Fewer new cars sold = fewer used cars to buy for a bigger population...

this channel (among many) had a Crown Vic and Town Car as project cars... if you have an issue, there will be a video somewhere. https://m.youtube.com/@FordBossMe/search?query=crown

did you check/replace the HVAC relay? once had the same issue but in the opposite direction, fan wouldn't turn off until some time passed.

You can find a 6 y.o. RAV4 with less than 30k miles for under $23k with a decent service history. I would be happy to take that car to 250,000 miles. i forgot Corollas went CVT The gems are out there, just be patient. and avoid any car from the sarasota - tampa - gulf coast area. you...
