He said it's a total asspain to clean it up and they never get it all. Nice design dicks. Then there was a recall on the rotors for the Acadia. We had an issue with ours. Except no recall on Traverse rotors. Same ****ing car! **** you GM. Last straw was leaky defective steering rack. Not covered under warranty. How the **** does a steering rack go bad at 22,000 miles? I'll tell you, shit design and crappy workmanship. When the dealer listens to you complain and just nods his head and says "yup", you know your car is a piece of shit. Thank God it's gone. Feel sorry for the ****ers who have it now, although I'm sure it's been crushed by now.
All the shit you're talking isn't new. There is a post in the "cockamamie hog shot that pisses you off" thread with me ranting about how it takes a special tool to pull the oil filter on my wife's Buick. My buddy bought an escape that needed a cam (!) at 45000 mikes that ford knew about but wouldn't do a recall on. My brother in law has a year old dodge that needed injectors and a starter before 75000. Not new. Not chevy.

If you want to get really pissed drop 300 large on a Deere unit that won't go. That will make you want to club baby seals. Big thing is not just that you need a ride from work, but you also cant make money. And Deere is so proud of their shot that you get a whole year of warranty. Run some Deere stuff and and all this car business won't even register on your pissed-off-meter.

So what we have here is a bunch of old bald dudes with goatees sitting around talking mini vans now. Am I right or am I right?

that sounds like Harley Davidson level of reerunation.
they have, or used to have, the same or similar type warranty.

The Volvo is too nice and too expensive to bother with now that it's just going to be covered in vomit for the next 18 months. And a lease until the new '19 explorer and ascent comes out doesn't get me around the whole 'eat shit on the first year value loss' thing; a 1 yr lease might as well be setting money on fire.

So I'll just push it as long as I can and see if I can fit some narrow-ass car seats in a Sonata. Or put the convertable in the front and turn the airbag off. If my vehicle is hauling children, it's just to daycare and back.
You're spot on (per usual), but I just can't bring myself to care.

Honestly what I need from a car is:
1. Needs to Run.
2. Needs to be comfortable.
3. Needs to not be a complete dog (Getting more and more difficult to find)
4. Needs to be easy to keep clean

After that, I'm just looking for value. Not necessarily the cheapest mile. I don't want to run junk but I'm not overpaying for a ****ing car.

I've concluded that, yes, I'm old and boring. Accordingly, I don't care if my wife is driving the same ****ing minivan-that's-not-quite-a-minivan as 30% of the rest of the parents in my shitty little town that have a reasonable income. Certainly not to the point that I want to double my cash outflow to get better.

So I'll continue to buy a couple year old functional vehicles and try to keep getting the best value I can.

I'm stuck with the Atlas, is the long and short of it. Or the Explorer. I could try to wait until the new Ascent comes out from Subaru; it's a sexy looking beast and Subaru is destroying in market share right now (showing growth across every segment) but those twins are coming and I don't expect the Ascent gets here before they do. Or I could hope that Ford gets the new Explorer out soon but that also seems unlikely.

May just trade my sedan in for an older SUV that I can putz around in for a year until I trade it out for something that comes along in the fall of '18. Again - **** you Chevy. Just **** you right in the face.

Should have had less kids, bro.

Thinnin' ain't bald.

And I couldn't grow a goatee if my life depended on it.

But yes.

That all being said, I think I can slap the motor from a Durango R/T in a Durango Summit and get a pretty quick but tricked out soccer shuttle that looks mostly like a (kinda) truck and doesn't have the bland character of every other boring-ass unibody out there. Problem is that I have to order it because every single one I can find on a lot with leather and the big motor has (you guessed it) ****ing captains chairs.

When the hell did minivan seats become a status symbol? What the ****? Why is it assumed that 'nice = captains chairs'? Dicks. Every domestic manufacturer in the country is a dick. Oh well, at least Dodge gives me the option of getting a bench.

**** you again, Chevy. God dammit.

It wasn't out of warranty, it just wasn't covered under warranty. Total bullshit. I could understand if I was taking it offroading or competing in monster truck jumping. Anyway, that piece of shit is out of my life and I have done my duty to warn others about the shitstain that is the Chevy Traverse.

Wife likes the 2 middle seats because it is easier to get into the back.

I'm sure that's where it is at. This is pure speculation, but they probably face some liability for goofy ****s jumping over the seats and hurting themselves. They can't be well adjusted humans like you and I were and jump over the damn things without killing themselves. And if they do manage to sustain an injury, we can no longer trust their **** parents not to lawyer up and sue the **** out of Chevy.

So, they put 2 seats back there to ensure there is a "safe path" or some such nonsense to the back seat.

In short, it's probably lawyers and **** parents you should be railing against.

Wait...Aren't you a lawyer? Nevermind. **** GM.

Either way, I see the benefits of the 2 rear seats, but I'm right with you on having three kids, but the truth of the matter is that the entire world is built around 4 people. Cars, restaurants, ****ing houses...All of it. Sorry man, but **** the world.

It must have been over 36K then. I have tried to blot away the memories of that vehicular pile of feces. I am also old with gray hair and a goatee. Anyway, it was a shitty car and I hope it caught fire and was in pain when it died for good.

I thought we where talking about racecars in here.

Got me a new pair of shoes~

15x10 Darkstars w/28 inch tall MT ET Streets paired with 17x4.5 skinnies

just a quick pic with it crammed in garage but man it looks better and now we know it will hook~



That 9 inch goes in next week, car will be down for a few days since we are going to have to measure for the new driveshaft etc.

RACE CARS > MINIVANS
