July 8, 20241 yr One of my high school girlfriends drove one like this, the back seat was pretty small but we made it work. Front passenger seat laid flat back was better.

Late 80's Prelude, Early 90's Cherokee, 3rd Gen 4Runner, E46 BMW start the list. Add a few features like carplay but the old body etc. Funny but I owned all these but the Prelude. Had it's first cousin - late 80's Accord FD RX7, Supra Mk4, OG NSX...

I think you need to look into how much you’re paying your night nanny and/or how much she’s stealing from you while you’re sleeping.

July 17, 20241 yr Ain't no such thing as too much money. And just my personal opinion, I loathe ALL of those humpy hunchy small SUV or crossovers or whatever you want to call them, type of vehicles. I don't care if they're track monsters or super fast or super elegant or whatever, they just look terrible. Cars should look like cars, and SUVs should look like SUVs. Preferably, like THIS:

I suspect there are enough used Altimas on the road they will hold onto their lead for a while longer.

Whatever the cheapest Nissan is will always have a share of the crown.

July 26, 20241 yr TIL factory-fitted portal axles, a 9" wider track, and 7.9" additional ground clerance were offered on the 2017 G550 4x4². Those still command a hefty resale premium, rivaling late models of the Hummer H1, though the G550's numbers bests the Hummer's in every dimension except the bank angle. Also TIL only the 2006-model 'Alpha' Hummer H1 is the one to get, as it was factory fitted with the 6.6L LLY Duramax and Alison 1000 trans. All prior models had the 6.2L diesel and TH400 or 6.5L with a 4L80E.

July 28, 20241 yr Wrong. Station wagons are superior vehicles. Why? The modern crossover is a pretty damed functional vehicle. Bland and homogenous as all get out. But still very functional.

Lower center of gravity, lower weight, better handling, equal or better cargo space with more rear legroom, and better for fucking with the rear seats down.
