Yes, report it. I’ve done it once. Ride was a way old Sonata in the condition you would expect. She was blasting rap which makes me want to stick a screwdriver in my ear. She also hit 40 on our street which I did correct on the spot.

Uber … funny this comes up.
Thursday night we went to see Chris Stapleton (amazing BTW). We took an Uber in without issue. Getting out was a challenge. We ended up rolling the dice and took a scab driver that was there at the venue (after waiting a while). There was four of us so wasn’t too worried and we weren’t going to our house.
At any rate it was a very well used first gen RDX and he tried his best to kill us!

You can report this to Uber - their support is pretty good.
Report the shot suspension that's uncomfortable or the near-miss rear-ending?
You can report it as a safety issue.

'21 with 2 accidents instead? If the repairs are "unnoticeable" perhaps? Actually, it's a '20 with high miles and 1 accident, or a '20 with 2 accidents but still low 22K miles.

Well here it is! Chevy Blazer EV 2LT, loaded with everything the RS has except the 21” tires and quite a bit cheaper. Sterling gray metallic (the only LT on the lot). What a great driving vehicle this is!

The only way to make any money in ride share is to get the most depreciated car that is eligible so that your capital investment is low. That’s why I got him the low mile Fusion. It was in good shape and had 5 years of eligibility so he could mile it up with the expectation it would still be in good shape. We keep it well maintained for the passengers safety but mainly for his.

Yes! Marcus was very good. Where did you see him?
I’ve seen him twice. Vocals are fantastic but what you don’t realize is how amazing a guitar player he is until you see him live.

While I was outside weeding and mulching, my sons decided to wash my truck. They had fun. I had to go over it with the sponge to get what they missed. Then polished it. Came out good.

Like the Bronze TRD Pro Wheels? I agree that the steelies are very plain Jane. A few exterior pieces really to turn the Taco SR into a cool looking truck. My best friend had a ‘22? access cab SR 4cyl Tacoma Black that he had as a delivery truck for a few years. He gave it to his son as his 1st car. He took the lettering off of it, bought some TRD Off Road wheels & new tires for it, plus a new Grill. It looks great.

There are probably a bazillion choices of wheels, most of which would look good. But, yeah, bronze with the black paint would be cool.

We retired and moved back to Southern California. We had many good years in Ohio, AND it’s nice to be back home. I had a kidney transplant at the Cleveland Clinic many years ago, so I go back once a year for my yearly appointment and to visit friends.

After a week at Tahoe, getting 24mpg with this Pacifica. That’s going over 9000 ft Mt Rose pass twice, so I feel like that’s respectable.

My sister and her family still have their 2015 Honda Odyssey that I advised them to get back when it was new. It's been a good vehicles for their family/friends/carpooling/taking trips. A remarkable thing was that on the way back from the Denver airport to Fort Collins, going about 55-65 mph because of traffic, the Odyssey got over 50 mpg for that trip according to the trip computer. That cylinder deactivation really works. Running three cylinders with a nine-speed transmission delivers great highway mpg. I was impressed, and asked my wife if she wanted one of those as her next car. She rightly said we just don't need something that big. But a lot of value for the money in that Odyssey in EX trim, which has an msrp of $40k. Still, that's 8k more than the AWD Camry hybrid LE we're considering, and city mpg in the Odyssey is about 18-22, compared to 50 for the Camry.

Have they discontinued the lower trim Voyager version? We still have a few in the fleet and the cloth seats are more comfortable during long trips. Of course the smart phone addicts complain about the lack of charging ports in the seat backs which the higher level Pacifica features.
