Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

PT is different than going to a ymca. Eh, big doubt. once you go through the motions a few times they are memorized and you can do that shit at the gym. I’ve asked that but it’s related to lady parts and pelvic floor. She needs a lot of one on one troubleshooting with the physical therapist every s...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

We stretched the budget way too far to get this house and I can’t afford an additional $150 a month for a less fuel efficient vehicle. I think you got the math backwards… Yeah my head is swimming right now. Can’t think clearly. Yes cheapest option is an old car with bad gas mileage. Still cheaper t...

Our old Chrysler did that. Shit out like 4 transmissions. The dodge caravan my dad bought to replace it… transmission literally exploded a day after he bought it. Towed it back to the dealer and got his money back. Our ford wind star was fine. It was abused hard and kept chugging along. Our expedit...

Not a bad suggestion for longevity overall but will have old car bs problems, and likely will get about 10 mpg. Yea but it won’t have a 40k car note … 40k at todays 5.5% is $183 a month probably enough to pay for gas and repairs. And I’m not even using the cost of borrowing and depreciation. Gas co...

Sienna seems like the answer. I finally got Lisa to ok test driving one, after she started watching how much easier the vans are to deal with at preschool drop off. everyone hates a :minivan: till you see the practical side.

Probably Pilot. But I'd have a hard time pulling the trigger on one until they put the new Accord infotainment in. It has a comically small screen in it right now. CX-90 would probably be my personal pick, but you get more bang for the buck with the Pilot. The new pilot seems alright with the refre...

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...

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.

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 ...
