DAY 2689: Talking Cars on a Bike

[@robshamel3210]

Very happy with my 2007 Toyota 4Runner. Had it since 2009ish, approaching 300k. Toyota gets my vote.

Mini van was a game changer….we did NOT want to be those people but it was a life changer with the kids. We bought a middle of the road mini van that inevitably is well loved from the kids. We fell in love with the space and ease of travel. Kids get in and out on their own, strollers and wagons all fit easy. Friends from school out for play dates. I’ve camped in the back a few times already. We decided to run our “beginner” mini van into the ground and when the kids are older we will get a top of the line new one with how much we love them.

Just came back to say that we did end up seriously considering one... The car camping prospect was honestly very attractive. maybe next time.

Totally agree, buying a car is not a fun experience. I finally had to part with my 2011 Hyundai because it had 188K miles on it - the main reason it took me so long was because I did not want to deal with car salesman. The only advice I have is to accept that whatever you do, you are making the right decision, don't second guess it later.

so dont buy cars from Carmax I guess huh

[@KellerNH]

It's a give and take because they do have a full 30 day money back guarantee so you can always take it to a mechanic and return if you find any issues. That being said I have not since heard great things about CarMax.

You lost me @0:17 / 13:43 flying straight through a stop sign. At least slow down and look if you're going to do that...

Usually I speed up and close my eyes
