    If an automaker was selling a new car or truck, what questions would you have for them when it comes to getting 200k+ miles out of it?

    Related to the parts availability, "How expensive and difficult will it be for major wear parts to be replaced? Clutch, transmission, seals, etc? Particularly, how much will have to be taken apart to get to the worn items?" I'm running into this with my 2012 Mazda 3, as estimates to replace...

    What are you watching on tv right now?

    The Tour de France, which concludes today. But the women's one-week Tour De France started yesterday. Peacock is the only streaming platform I have, which I mostly kept for the cycling and track & field sports. Poker Face was kind of interesting, though. (Although I also pay for an MLB package...

    NEW Vehicle Advice / Recommendations: Anyone? Subaru or Toyota? What says the gang?

    I just went through car search and buying, helping my elderly parents buy a new SUV, as my dad recently totaled his 4Runner (he's recovering from what small injuries he had). I've also been considering a new(er) car, as my 2012 Mazda 3 is getting up there, and the clutch is starting to show...
