Noise Complaint posted:Did the trailblazer itself ever come with a 3rd row option? That 4.2 Atlas i6 is pretty drat sick. Yep, Trailblazer EXT. Same thing as the Envoy I had, but Chevy plastics instead of GMC plastics. The motor was good, no doubt (easy way to tell by looking is the rear door. Regular length had the back of the rear door incorporated into the wheelwell. Long wheelbase version has a smooth curve to the back door). A couple stupid design components for maintenance (oil filter location, wire loom "permanently" in place blocking access to #1 plug hole. weird thermostat location pretty much requiring alternator removal to change, etc), but it was a good, strong motor. Ate gas like a motherfucker, though. I averaged 13 city and on the deer trip back I was right at 19mpg all highway.

I decided I needed to get the gently caress out of the house for a while, so I went for a drive. About 50-60 miles round trip, took me around 2 hours. Went out to fort island park at the end of crystal river, then drove back on a bunch of back roads. I learned 3 things, I really want a decent handling wagon or hatch with about 180-200hp if I get rid of my avalanche, I really need to get my boat working again and hot dodge dart hatchback with a stick would be a fun thing to drive. Even the 200 did well for being a rental spec with a auto that has 9 loving gears. (Why does it have 9 gears, jesus christ chrysler)

Parent rant: Dad gets a mailer from a car dealership, says he's won a prize, test drive a car to collect. Previously mentioned Buick is on last legs. He drives it to dealership, test drives a Hyundai Tucson and falls in love. Negotiates a killer deal on the Tuscon, gets more for the Buick than its worth. He calls me from the dealership and I confirmed that 18% off sticker and KBB retail for a 16 year old Buick with 265k miles was a good deal. I told him to call me when he gets to the finance office. I don't hear back for 4 hours. I found out he bought an extended warranty that almost completely mirrors the factory warranty for $3500, and takes financing that is 2x what it will be when he calls the loving credit union on Monday. And then leaves without his toaster or whatever the hell he "won". He says it's too much trouble to cancel the warranty and refinance, but wants me to listen to how he's a victim and there ought to be laws to protect him. I told him that a years worth of payments was absolutely worth spending another 4 hours at the dealership getting this worked out on Monday. At least it's a decent car and in the grand scheme of things he'll come out ahead if he'll get over himself. And get your drat toaster!

Welp. I was going to go drive a couple Outbacks on Monday because my lust for a wagon is beating out my desire for horsepower, but I just spit out a large chunk of one of my molars, so I guess I'll be at the dentist instead. Explains why I've been waking up with headaches, though. I just shrugged that off as normal depression bullshit.

Tusen Takk posted:Aren't they discontinuing the Dart It seems so, but ending it with a hot version that has the demon name plate will make me happy. Mostly because someone I know gets really angry about the newer darts and says that they don't deserve to have the dart name. He had a dart in the late 70's and didn't like it when I pointed out that they both were basic economy cars.

So a catering truck decided to change lanes without checking this new invention called "mirrors", and clipped me. And of course they took off. Limited to some scratches on my bumper and headlight, but they go all the way through the paint to the plastic. Total repairs wouldn't be much more than my deductible. Option A: file police report, accident goes on my record, police send letter to registered owner. Owner never responds, nothing happens except my rates go up once insurance sees an accident on my record. Police already informed me that since I didn't pull over and call them immediately, that I'm automatically guilty of hit and run myself and they won't investigate it beyond sending a letter (WTF DALLAS) Option B: file insurance claim, pay my deductible, insurance sends letter to registered owner. Owner never responds, nothing happens except my rates go up. Option C: take it (the sideswipe) in the rear end, owner of rear end winces, something else goes up. Option D: stick some Cadillac horns on my car so that the horn can be heard Options C and D it is..

You pull a stunt like sideswipe a vehicle and take off and your getting a couple of police officers turning up at your door, looking at the new colour and impact damage on your car, and hauling your arse down the station for some hard questions and a "So, you've heard of hit and run right?" if you do that poo poo here... No wonder you guys all carry guns. Seems shooting the cunts about the only way you'll get a serious response out of your police service...

Texas is a magical place, even by American standards. Although, to be fair, Illinois isn't much better in the way our police handle hit and runs. My grandma had her car totaled by a driver at 3 in the afternoon on the busiest street in the town, she gave a description and full license plate number to the cops, which should be a loving cake walk to find out what happened. All that happened was, about a month later, they called to say that the car that hit her was reported stolen the day of the accident and the trail didn't lead anywhere else. A month's worth of hard police work to type a 7 character code into a computer that is in the squad car with them, and then to never follow up on the extremely suspicious information it gives out... Being within 10 miles of Chicago, the driver probably was a friend of some politician and that's why it took a month to do 10 minutes worth of work that was immediately given up on afterwards, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating

You probably could anyway. Most of the speed limits on the interstates are 70mph.

Ohio might not be better either. My aunt was in a hit and run a few years back, I don't remember the details other than the other person hit her and ran off. When they got home, they then called it into the police. Even though she left the scene, the police didn't count it as a hit and run because she still called it in.

spog posted:Does this mean that I could ride a bike from coast-to-coast at 70mph with impunity? If you do 70 through CA, a lot of people are going to be pissed that you're going too slow in the fast lane. Left lane here is typically 75 sometimes faster. Cops only pull you over if you're going "noticeably faster" than everyone else. My commute home is usually closer to 80 and people still pass me all the time. bolind posted:Wife and her visiting friend dragged me to the country's biggest art museum.
