Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
It seems like older vans are not super reliable … Hondas pop trannys … fca pops everything … Nissan … trannys. Sienna … kind of has issues too … with timing cover leaks that cost 5k to fix They’re probably just the least maintained/taken care of class of vehicle, run hard and put away wet. I imagin...

All this talk about spending your youth "outside" as a reason you never saw movies is :notsure: . When I was young, there was literally NOTHING ELSE to do as a kid (long before any sort of video games either on a TV or handheld) but spend the day outside riding bikes or playing in your or...

Maybe I should hop on board with watching the three recommended movies but probably won't end up doing it. I consider myself NOT a movie guy AT ALL....i don't like spending time in actual theatres, and compared to many people I haven't seen anything........the fact that I am basically some cinemaph...

I'd stay the F away from a top of the line super complicated mazderp product... Yeah they don’t seem to be exactly problem free. IMO they are 2nd tier "Japanese" brand... that comes with a lot of risk. You have first Tier Toyota and Honda and then Nissan/Mazda behind that. They usually te...

Check out an Atlas as a punishment box (cheapest on that list) or if you can find a Highlander or Grand Highlander HYBRID that's really the way to go if you can't stomach a Van. But honestly... I'd probably try and get my name on a list for a Sienna. It's the thing that makes the most sense. I like...

Got a nail in a tire this weekend. Luckily it was an easy plug. Been getting software updates at a rate of about 1/week now. They're slowly getting everyone caught up. There have been some leaks about new stuff coming to 7.0 that will hopefully happen in the next month or two. Looks like their firs...

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 be...

If I did replace it it'd be with either a 2 ton HF or Husky :lolol: I'm going to assume they're using 'murican tons as the listing for the 2 ton says 4000 lbs. They're probably all made in the same chinese factory anyway. https://www.costco.com/arcan-xl3000-heavy-duty-all-steel-3.0-ton-jack.product...

So with spring right around the corner and the summer ramz going back on, do I need a new floor jack? I currently have the harbor freight pittsburgh 1.5 ton which was fine for the VW's but the BMW is about 500 pounds heavier at 3800 lbs. The R was ~3300 which is right near the rating at 1.5 tons bu...

Yes because they expected to sell a lot more 90k ev pickups and 100k suvs. Which is :fullretard: that’s not a mainstream price point :dat: and I'm holding an uncomfortable amount of their stock, avg $19/ps I was an idiot and bought at 32 when they dropped 50% from their IPO. I think evs are about t...

BTW what black paint is that? Is it BSM? Black Sapphire Metallic ? Or plain back. I am not a huge fan of BSM because both of my bmws that had that paint (2016m3 and 2024, IX) exhibited pretty weak paint characteristics. I.E it was impossible to get hard water spots out even with polishing... and bir...

We all seem to dig the prototypes … but the company is a shit show when it comes to delivering the product.
