Can a Colorado handle your RV - maybe for shorter hauls ?

Possibly getting rid of the travel trailer down the road. The Silverado is a pain to get in and out of a barely wide enough garage. So- yea the Colorado would be a fit. I still want the utility of a truck- just not the size.

Got it - had a 2010 for 8 years trouble free - and the new models have a look of their own …

My son in laws mom bought the CRV version of the Honda hybrid. All she does is complain about the lousy MPG. She says it’s way worse than her 1.5Turbo CRV.

Most people really can't drive a hybrid because I hear it all of the time. I just did 24 miles and had the AC blasting and had several stops and drove it like I stole it. 64 mpg...

They had a class action lawsuit on the old Ford C-Max...the public at large didn't get the EPA rating while in got 15 mpg over without trying..

My old gf drove my C-Max and her foot was nailed to the floor with the brakes and gas...duh

No clue...

Clue me in. So I can inform the boss on driving a hybrid. If she buys one
 
These are the same trip at different moments... real distance and a car with very little miles on it....

I heard from Zipper Head this morning.....she asked me if anything was new. I sent her a picture of the new Accord....she said she likes the Mitsubishi better and when I met her she had an Accord and bought a Mitsubishi afterwards.

I really think like me it's nostalgia like owning a VW bus in the days..

It takes you back to a happier time...
The Honda is superior in most respects but I doubt in time it will be as reliable...
ZIPPER IS THE WRK...
 
I don't watch many YT car reviews but I like Motormouth out of Canada the best.
 
Newer Hondas are still okay but no more reliable than a lot of other brands. Still riding on reputation they built (and earned) in the 90’s and 00’s. JMO. Toyota does the same thing though.

I finally have an appointment for a couple recalls on the Mustang. Parts were not available and I didn’t really care about it but they keep hounding me so….

Have had no issues at all other than that. I am not wealthy enough to just trade it like @Zee09 so I guess I will get it fixed. 😛

Ford will call me in 3 or 4 years for my recalls- losers
Of course, I had no issues with the recalls only the painful seats.
The accord seats are perfection even early on...

You need to stop day trading at Burger King and hit Wendys instead
I made some coin yesterday as I was on a short sabbatical....

Seats are a big deal the older you get. It’s a part of the car you use 100% of the time. No idea why manufacturers don’t put more effort into the seats but they don’t.

One of the best seats I ever had were in my 99 Cherokee of all things. Loved that Jeep.

Yeah, especially in a Hybrid
What good is all of those mpgs if you tap out in 20 minutes?
 
The best seats that I remember were in a high trim Oldsmobile back in the day. Of course I was younger and my back could tolerate more. Second was a Mercury Sable that I owned. Seats were good but car was always having some sort of issue. With all the repairs I think I paid for that car twice.
