    200,000 miles is in fact rare, only 1% of vehicles reach it

    Here is my '08 Sorento...it only cost me a rear axle, 2 front bearings, 2 sets of tires, a set of brakes, a set of rear bump stops, a set of outter tie rods (and alignment), a lot of oil changes (every 5k), wiper blades, and car washes, various fluid flushes and changes, a set of radiator hoses...

    Aircraft Carriers and hypersonic missiles

    You have to understand, hypersonic tech is not new...we (US) has been 'playing' with hypersonic tech since the 50/60s. When Russia/China announce their 'new' hypersonic missiles, the response from the Pentagon was mainly nonchalant...unlike the media. Either they have already something better...

    Oh, that burger looks so messy, so delicious... That's one thing I miss about traveling...when I was a kid, there were these mom and pop dinners all along I-75 (we use to travel a bit from Chattanooga to Cincinnati. ) My dad always insist on driving and eating at the same time...to save time...

    kia engine issues...really serious or overinflated?

    I have an '08 Sorento with the 3.8L Lambda V6 engine (no DI, no turbo and no plastic intake or valve covers...except the cartridge filter housing and cover)...it has about 199,000 miles. Just speaking of the engine...it has been flawless. In my opinion, the first gen Lambda V6 engines are stout...

    When I was a kid, I had the a 1/24(??) toy model of this car...it was all die cast metal. You could put an eye out with those tail fins. I wish I still had it, but not sure if would be worth anything...from what I remember it was pretty beat up from all the Batman adventures I had...

    Reasonable Cost of Brake Fluid Flush?

    No, I watched them. However, I took my first CR-V to a local 'highly rated' shop for its first brake flush...at the time it was a lot cheaper than the dealer...found out why...they only changed the fluid in the reservoir. I think one of the popular Youtubers recommended doing just that...I think...

    Reasonable Cost of Brake Fluid Flush?

    On some vehicles...like my '05 4Runner, you can bypass having a scan tool to actuate the pump for the rear bleed/flush, but it involves pumping up the brakes, turn on the vehicle to turn on the pumps...open the bleeder, flush out....close bleeder, and repeat. PITA.

    Reasonable Cost of Brake Fluid Flush?

    About $140 at the local Honda dealership for my wife's '16 CRV...about a month ago. Could have done it myself, but was feeling lazy plus had other things on my plate. On, some modern vehicles, like my '05 4runner (and '08 Sorento), a DIYer really can't flush the fluid without a special scan...
