    Help me choose a new touring vehicle

    The new Honda pilot (23-) is really nice inside. Can’t go wrong with that or the Rdx/MDX if you want sportier. Also Honda/acura AWD system is really good, better than most of its competitors. Love it in my wife’s pilot. The all time awd anyways not the lower models with partial awd. There’s a...

    I enjoyed the games and I’m not a rpg player but something with the fallout story always intrigued me. Loving the show so far I’m halfway through

    Yes. Even though I’m a Mustang guy you have to give credit where it’s due. If they don’t sell wouldn’t be surprised if Mr Hendrick doesn’t just buy all of them for the collection anyways lol

    Current New Vehicle Market

    @13COBRA what am I looking at here? They aren’t actually offering 33,000 in discounts correct? I assume this is some sort of slick advertising for a lease or something?

    Current New Vehicle Market

    Honda brand here. My dealer has roughly 100 rental cars in our fleet. All are sent from pdi to rental so they are all brand new when they start. Usually flip them back to used inventory after 5-10k miles. We have all the different models and trim levels that Honda makes so it’s a good...

    2005 Acura RSX A-Spec | Retro Review

    Seeing the prices of these cars from 20 years ago makes me realize maybe the new 30k civic Si I’ve been eyeballing isn’t so bad after all.

    **** Around >>> Find Out

    My wife loves to go to Broadway shows in downtown Charlotte, we went last weekend actually. Not really my style but I’m not letting her go alone. We take the train usually and I can’t carry anywhere in that damn city. Not on the train, not in any of the places she wants to go. I haven’t seen...

    Rules and regs in your industry that negatively affect society

    R1234yf Freon installed in all new cars is 10x more expensive than 134, the machines are more expensive and take twice as long to run and we find the Freon eating away at seals on compressors causing leaks leading to $2,500 repairs on relatively low mileage vehicles. I’d be hard pressed to...

    Carvana??

    I deal with their local branch pretty often they bring me all their Hondas that need recalls, extra keys, or diag they can’t do themselves. A couple of their reps have told me they are ok to sell to but even getting an employee discount they wouldn’t buy a car from them. They have a hard time...

    Current New Vehicle Market

    Unfortunately that generation seems to be plagued with issues. One of my clients had a 14 model for years and to be fair she drove the wheels off it but she was in constantly for repairs.

    Are new truck prices really that bad?

    Yeah a guy at my work recently sold his cbr and picked up a sxs since they made them legal for roadways here. I thought about selling my bike and picking one up but they are ridiculous

    Are new truck prices really that bad?

    I’ve said it many times before, new truck prices are insane. In fact all vehicles prices, new and used, are insane. Last week my father in law gave me a beater truck to have around the house. 97 f-150 xlt regular cab 4wd with the 4.6 V8. I was digging through it and found the original window...

    If you ever feel adventurous about car repair....

    Those are a pain in the ass. I’m almost certain there is a warranty extension coming for it soon though

    Scammed

    My wife did something similar a couple years ago. Called to let me know about this crazy good deal she got on a fisher price outdoor playset for like $100. She clicked on a Facebook ad which took her to a vaguely similar site to the real fisher price site. She had already placed the order...

    Crazy Shit / F’ed Up Thread

    My “group riding” consists of either me and 1 close friend or me and my dad. Otherwise I’m by myself. I did a couple bigger group rides years ago (nothing like the stupid shit I see online now) but I wouldn’t do it again.

    If you ever feel adventurous about car repair....

    flat rate is a double edged sword, for a good tech most book times exceed how long it takes them to do the work. That being said they definitely lose out on some of that stuff especially warranty times. We’ve got some really good techs that can knock out some big jobs very quickly. One in...

    Looking for a good mattress at a reasonable price…

    Some people spend crazy money on a mattress, I’m not one of them. I ordered a memory foam mattress in a box off Amazon I think it was Ashley brand or something with a familiar brand name. King size for under $400 I believe. Best bed I’ve ever had, was a little too firm for probably the first...

    Q & A Session... - Ask a Ford Dealer

    For whatever reason it always seems the American brands have crazy waits to get into the shop. I’m not sure if it’s lack of technicians, parts availability, scheduling issues or a combination. I’m at Honda and we average 160-170 cars a day and can still take same day or next day appointments...

    Crazy Shit / F’ed Up Thread

    Any time I’ve had a passenger I’ve always tried to ride as responsible and careful as possible. Always thought it was the biggest douche move to ride like an ass while someone is on the back. No kidding, the guy on fire ok I get it let’s get that put out, no reason to move the girl though...

    Sanity check for Service quote from Ford...

    400 a week sounds like a base pay plus commission. When I worked for ford we were paid a base of something like 400-500 a week for showing up plus commission on parts and tech hours. Current job has $0 base pay all commission but it works in my favor as long as I keep myself busy.
