    A little different from my late, lamented 1965 2+2 Mustang.

    Last night, a driver with mdx didn't stop at the traffic light or even try to use the brake at ~60miles speed took a direct 90 degree aim at my driver door, both cars proved to be quite safe, I didt know cars now day can call emergency services and connect you with fire department on their own, (my phone did also called 911 ,no privacy) now I'm looking for a replacement and can't think of any decent choice..

    My main purpose to find : a 3 row SUV, can tow, can fit twin bed mattress for over night hikes, not too big ,excessive gimmicky tech, simple layout, preferably to blend with other cars unlike transformers/batman vehicle,and a gear shifter,no toggle thingy..Simple basic Dude choices ,any idea!


    Used TeslaY seems to be the cheapest temp.option in our market (less choices,way more expensive than US),

    Damn. Glad you’re alright.

    Look at Toyota 4Runners or Highlanders if you need a lot of cargo space.

    This is the new 6.2-liter V-12 from the De Tomaso Automobili P900, and it's like something straight out of H.R. Giger's sketchbook. A twisting mass of steel intestines, it features an incredible 12-into-1 exhaust manifold that terminates in a huge cylindrical exit. This is what jet engines sometimes look like with the covers off, except with a feverish and dreadful symmetry.

    Carfax is savior. Buying used cars from a high-end dealership with decades in Houston as long as Sterling McCall not going to name the dealership. We looked into a luxury car with fantastic resell and brand reputation. We checked into the Carfax- 1 owner, low miles, and looks better than its age looking at it. The red flag was the dealer brand auction the same brand car just a few weeks after owner sold it to them. Why would the brand dealership auction the car so quickly instead of selling on the lot. We were going to have independent inspection but we wanted to check ourselves. We told them to put on a lift........ engine was leaking oil, still wet. Carfax smarten us about the car, high-end dealership like every other car dealerships. Bought a new car instead.
