The interior is very reminiscent of the 3G TL with the shiny black accents. It's like a strange but good mix of the 3G and 4G TL.
It feels bigger than the TL obviously but not as big as I thought it would. I never drove it, but even just being a passenger I noticed the crooked shifter and I found this to be a bit WTF'ing. Small detail though, just my OCD playing.
Passenger there's enough room in the front but the middle row has limited leg room. I have not sat in the back ever, often times he has the seats folded for his dogs. With the seats folded it's pretty damn spacious and I wish SUVs were a thing "back then" so my dad didn't have to buy a minivan.

Man, hands down, the Odyssey is the way to go.

TVs, DVD, sunroof, a vacuum? C'mon, it's got a vacuum.

That's pimp.

It's been a while, gents. Hopefully everyone had a great weekend and didn't lose any fingers or toes. Did any of you lose your virginities at least?

Is your mom an italian-floridian hybrid or is that a normal way to talk over there?

Simple, just point out to the fellas that there's a mattress in the back.

I was 12 and destroyed by the divorce, I'm just assuming that was her train of thought.

That's something my siblings and I were "lucky" enough to not get. My parents divorced but my youngest sister was 16 so it wasn't a total disaster.

It's good that you turned out okay though.

My folks are still together. Been almost 40 years. I'm surprised they haven't killed each other after that many years

Yeah you know, mine divorced after 21 years. When it stops working, it stops working.

I will for sure buy one once they start coming with an ironing board and iron. If they throw in a waffle maker attached to the dash, I'll buy one for wifey also.

Oh I know, man. That's not to say my parents didn't have their seriously shitty moments along the way. Relationships are a shit ton of work, especially the longer they go on. I'm not surprised many people fizzle out after awhile.

At the very least my parents even they divorced never put any pressure on us. They made it clear that they simply did not love each other, not hate each other.
Nevertheless, when one of your parents starts sleeping on the couch a few days a week, you catch the drift no matter your age. I'd rather see a couple divorce than start to hate each other. That's most likely better for the kids.

Made an extra easy $50 configuring an email account for a client of mine. He configured it in POP and wanted me to configure it to IMAP. Even after sending him the info he couldn't figure it out.
Took a whole 7 minutes.

I look at the G35/37 too often although I haven't lately. The itch man, the itch.

Instead I put money on manitenance stuff on the TL. Then my cheap side goes "yoooo can't sell the car, you just put $150 of parts on there yesterday!"

I'm fine with what I drive now. Just don't have anything else to do.

The Explorer is just enough... I'll buy myself a car in 3 years or so. Don't know what, the way the car manufactures are going, I might have my commuter until 2030

You mean every car manufacturer is making cars that are super generic?

Yes, BRZ/FRS are nice.... But remember I have 2 little ones....

I need at least 4 doors...

I have wanted a car to play around with, but it would be S2k.

RLX has four doors. It's basically a NSX sedan.

You're a 60-something WASP, right? Should be a no brainer.

I felt the same way!! I saw it in person at Disneyland (Honda is a big sponsor) it looked SUPER sleek on the inside etc etc.. but hybrid meant it was SUPER slow..


It can have a lot of potential though (with a lot of money and maybe a new engine or something..)
