after Zod showed me some crash test video on Kia suv's ... I'll never touch them.

Perfect across the board

Maybe he was looking at the previous generation

Honestly recent Kia's are pretty safe... I just seriously have not sat in one that was vaguely comfortable.

you know I was stuck in traffic today next to a brand new Grand Caravan, the CREW model. It was really nice (and dare I say even somewhat sporty looking) in an understated way. Just checked it on the website and it has a really new slick interior as well. Good juice on the engine etc. and very loaded for about $29K.

 

[dorian gray]

Yeah, they are by far the nicest GC ever made

My 96 Civic has been acting up as of late. In the past 2 weeks there have been 4 occurrences of my car failing to start when actuated. The battery was replaced not 2 months back, and I don't reckon it's a faulty alternator either. The dash indicators all come on, but the engine fails to rise. A pump of the accelerator usually is the jolt needed to get the blood flowing. I speculate it's either the starter, or something that has to do with the gas. Whether it be a filter, a censor, etcetera, I can not decrypt. Gahhhhh

Shit DIED

 

[lurch70]

... died like not worth fixing?
