Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
What do we know about 3-row SUVs in this forum? We are stopping at two kids but the CRV is already feeling tight as hell with the baby seat in there. All the car mags want a 3 row that handles like a Miata which I don’t understand. I’d be looking for something dependable with good interior space bec...

TLX Type S seems like a great buy around $40k and they'd have way fewer miles on them than the germans. 355hp, sh-awd, brembros, and reliability Acura tech is also straight garbage or at least used to be Lexus corrected but they and Acura always had horrific tech compared to their Toyota / Honda co...

These look totally rad but have pathetic gas mileage and performance is merely on par with the 4 cyl Germans. Also enormous car with no interior space. They do look s...

I wasn’t a sq5 fan. That thing is slow compared to anything with a b58. It also had pretty bad steering(disconnected) and looks like a jelly belly. Tried to like it but no. They are also made in Mexico which … eh Yeah the B58 is a bit of a hero motor. Seems pretty reliable too. Anyone know about re...

I'm not really an SUV guy but these are all nice cars and solid used buys as they depreciate pretty significantly. M340i might depreciate even more though and be the best driving thing of the bunch. The weird thing is... the M340i... is keeping the value better than a 540i M sport ... which is why ...

SQ5 is cool. Those prices seem dece. About as much for a new mid trim Rav4 or CRV.

House was listed on Wednesday. Signed an offer today. Wild. We had 5 offers for it. Ignored a few cash offers for someone who needed a mortgage. So there's that.

Was the business class ticket at least under 5 figs? My spouse is a bit of an expert at working points and travel deals. I had accumulated over 450K Alaska miles. Fiji Air is an Alaska partner.

LNG Its a plant that is always on call but essentially never operates. I think its been used twice in the last 3 years.

Liquefaction and storage, vaporization as needed. I'd consider it. Since the idiots wont allow more NG pipelines over the appalachian mountains, the east coast in general will always be in NG deficit. Therefore, unless that changes, as you said the plant won't run much. On the other side of that......

My rental mustang vert windows did not seal. Was a Le to return it for the 330e I had back in October. I’ve had about three of the previous gen, one was such a POS I returned it for the Mercedes I murdered the buck with in Utah. All three the rear windows didn’t seal, and I’m not talking a little w...

Thanks dude! $350-400 seems to be the going rate for these bikes out here. Are disc brakes and 1/2x shifting things I could upgrade myself, or would they be more hassle/cost than they’re worth to swap on? Better to keep looking until I find something in this range that has them? I’m in no rush to b...

I don’t really know what something like this ‘should’ cost but it looks quite well maintained and will be robust AF. It’s missing some modern conveniences like disc brakes, 1/2x shifting but for commuting around, it’s not critical at all. If you ride in the wet, disc brakes do perform better. I dig...

I still have it. Last bike I shipped was about $100, might be a bit more now due to Covid price increases. You might be better off getting a local bike for a gym beater. Size may work, I’m about that tall as well. I have a shorter inseam though. 7.5 miles each way isn’t too far but you’re looking a...
