My daughter now turns 4 in October and is in a booster (she is skinny but tall). My son is 6 in March and is riding with just a belt. Yes I know that is not Kosher but he is nearly 60 lbs and tall enough the belt is in proper position.
IMO the car seat laws are a bit out of control. I remember riding in the front at 6 years old.

Agreed. It is all about moderating risk, so do what you're most comfortable doing in terms of timing of those things. IIRC, we had ours in rear facing for around first six months, then were front-facing in the two-piece "carrier" style car seat until they outgrew it, after which they were in the five-point front-facing seats to around four or five years old, then we removed the five-point harness and they used the vehicle's seat belt over the front of that seat.
We didn't stop using the full seats until we went on our transcontinental trip in 2013, at which time our daughter was just shy of six (son was nine). Those seats were both too bulky to haul all across the continent, so we bought them each a butt-booster and never looked back. I think they were each around nine or ten when they stopped using those.
I know it’s common in 4Runners & Tacoma’s of that vintage, but the brine they Pre treat the roads with can’t help matter either.

I went to check out the v8 exploder. Bumpers were painted by a toddler. I didn’t bother digging further than that. Walked amongst the many indy car lots on that stretch of road. Only thing that really caught my attention was a 2010 Equinox. Sharp little trucklet. This one had 140k miles so I did not inquire. But it is something I’ll keep an eye out for.

But, this is the issue I run into every time I try and come up with a cheap used car option. I start looking, and find out what the trash is like in the 7-10K price range, get frustrated, then just buy a new car.

then she pointed at a car across the street and said she liked the color. a gen 1 Edge, in a red/brown/bronze color. I usually love those, but she is not always a fan.
so, learned something today!

1) It makes me want a new 2020 Audi RS6 Avant badly.
2) It's an extremely well made 6 minute plus car commercial.
3) It tugs on the heartstrings, particularly for newer father's out there.
4) It speaks to your soul deep down for Audi enthusiasts out there.
5) All wagon lovers in the world can appreciate the effort that went into this.
6) The new RS6 is beautiful in my opinion, the way a wagon can be, aggressive, without being bold like a Toyota, but elegant and classy aggression the Audi designers do so well.
7) It gives Americans 600 reasons to buy a wagon, and they all go "neigh neigh!"
So well done! Bravo Audi.

It seems for the horrible to average driver in the US (which is a VERY LOW bar), it makes sense. For better drivers, it might not make sense. The idea is you'll crash into something yourself, front first, rather than more likely to be rear-ended (good drivers are more often rear ended than doing the rear ending). The benefits of rear-facing seem to assume you'll ram something from the front. Obviously, the stresses on the neck are the opposite if you are hit from behind first.

He gave it to his son, who proceeded to put another 50K on it (while doing dubious maintenance, if any at all) before selling it. No issues at all.
It was rusting, but at 200K miles, I’d say it was/is a great vehicle. You can’t kill them.
Not sure about the current ones, but mine was a tank. Body on frame. An honest to goodness low range, which I used on the deepest snows and to yearly camping vacations to the Smokies.
Slow, relatively thirsty by today’s standards. Still, comfortable and wouldn’t have hesitated to drive it cross country to off road in it.

While I'm upset they tried to get away with just the mounts, I'm happy to get a fresh set of shocks for the rear. I was just thinking KW Variant 3 Coil-overs might be a nice upgrade. I asked about the fronts and they said they were fine. Apparently the rear threw a code (they are magnetically adjustable). Interestingly, the TSB included a suspension software update (who'd of known, but I guess I should have since they are adjustable electronically and magnetically), I believe it has ended my train of "don't ask don't tell" policy regarding my tune. They will cover this one, but the younger newer service adviser (I knew I should have stuck with my old veteran guy), said that Audi USA was getting terrible about paying warranty claims for tuned cars, and he'd likely have to pay for this through his own "account" or something like that. I mentioned how the shocks had nothing to do with the tune (though he just gave the tuners another idea to "tune" the suspension with software for the track). He said while he didn't agree with Audi USA, that's what they are doing now.
Should have stuck with the adviser that turns a blind eye. Maybe my tech got mad for calling him out on changing fresh Motul 600 brake fluid for the normal dealership stuff, or maybe mentioning the odd brake fluid raised too many flags.

It's a Honda Vamos, made up until 2016. The one I saw looked almost brand-new and was in well cared-for condition, even had wind deflectors on the side windows. Maybe the ideal solution for @qbrozen if he can handle RHD... :laughing:

they are all I believe part of the group that owns the VW/Audi/Porsche stores (those are all together) and the MB palace just up the street.

plenty of Genisii around. And I saw a delivery happening on a Kona Electric (said electric in big letters on the back).
they did have a couple nice Santa Fes parked out front. They are really growing on me. Nice styling in and out and well equipped. Need to get the wife out to drive one. They had a 2.0t in Lava Orange I loved. sent her a pick, but she wasn't convinced. But she liked the blue one next to it. Daughter thought they looked snappy too.
so we shall see! Today is our anniversary but she got a dozen roses instead of a new car.

Odd thing about that site, it told me that vehicles had to be 15 years of age or older to be imported into Canada (and for the US, it basically said forget it). The one I saw is a late model and was registered here with local plates, so I wonder how that was done.

Nothing good today. Visited 2 dealers that had all garbage cars. Not worth my time. Would have liked to shop more but I have a couple guys here putting up fence at the slowest pace I have ever witnessed.

You have to pay to play.
The big problem? The seats are horribly uncomfortable. My back was hurting after all of 2 miles driving it. The manual adjustments simply don’t do enough and there is no lumbar adjustment.
I really wanted to love it but it just didn’t work for me.
Here's a good deal on a Ridgeline (hint hint):

Blue over black leather, pretty well-equipped with the Bose stereo. I liked the way it drove - the lack of a turbo was more than made up by for the row-your-own transmission.
Could be a contender - if I was in the market

I was really smitten by the Santa Fe's I saw today. really gotta drive one. Might hit the sweet spot of cost, features, size, and a biggie, wife being comfortable with it.
Recently I think she is going backwards being able to handle tech stuff (work PC, phones, etc.). An X3 or new RDX (even an XC60) might put her over the edge. Santa Fe does all the same stuff, but just simpler (more like a "normal" car)!
