That's a decent amount of miles. Figured you'd be a bit lower.

Since the 'vid I've been doing about 5k per year. Probably go up a bit this year with
stuff.

Out of its element. Had a little bit of build up under the snout by the time I got home.
Also,
insists I get a sunshade for the rear window but of course the G series is the first time BMW doesn’t make one. Snapshades look nice but they’re pricey at $115. We’re using some sort of magnet one in the RAV4 and it’s alright but kind of droops in places. Any suggestions for
shades?

Only 35%
so it's not very dark. Technically the Rav4 has tint as well from the factory.
Apparently sunshades are a big
or something.

I use window pasties that cost $5 that static cling.
Isn’t your shit tinted ?

We had $5 ones from Amazon that worked well. Wet the window and they just cling to it. I could dig them out and mail them to you if you want.

Welp. The wife got rear ended the other day with the kiddo in the car. Everyone’s fine but she was freaking out. I was a few lights ahead so I flipped around and went back.
The way she called me I was expecting to see a pretty messed up rear bumper but the Rav took it pretty well. She was the third car in the chain reaction. F-150 driver rear ended a Highlander behind her who then hit her.
We were on our way home from the flooring store after getting a carpet quote for the partially flooded basement.
One catastrophe to another.

Glad it was minor for her and the baby. I’d have a hard time not going immediately into rage mode if someone hit me while I have our baby in the car.

Not too bad… I would probably get a quote and pocket the money and trade that pile in a few years no one will know

Pretty much every 'Yota has a wound like this eventually.

I was in full on
mode after she called but once I got to the scene and saw it was minor I cooled a bit. It was around rush hour so pretty much just slow moving bumper to bumper traffic. I had to drive up and park on the median (no scrapes) as it's kind of a smallish highway and it's where the wife was standing with him along with the other people. We got the seat out of her car and put him in mine.

Why didn’t they move off the highway. Seems dangerous af

As much as I hate the Rav, I don't think I'd allow myself to drive around with a scuffed up bumper like that. And I'd really like to get the M3 paid off before taking on another payment.
My brother just got a new Telluride which is really
but I'm still
on
H products long term. And the horrible dillership experiences seem to be true as the last time he took his Elantra N in for service the tech took it for a ride to learn stick.

They were in the left lane and everyone just stopped. They were all on the median when I got there. Once the cop showed up he stopped traffic to let everyone get to the shoulder.

I drill it into my woman … pun intended. Do not get out after the accident and move off the freeway if possible. An insane number of people get killed here when they leave their car and someone reams them

I should probably do the same. Luckily everything was moving pretty slow.

I’ve seen some wild dashcam videos of that happening. Sad.

Glad everyone is ok. Shit happens. Make sure the other drivers insurance company pays for a new baby seat. Like buy one and submit to them for reimbursement. They’re a one hit thing like a bicycle helmet.

Yep. We just got the new seat today. NHTSA and even Nuna say replacement isn’t necessary after a minor accident but the wife ordered a new one anyway.
