    Once in 1997 or 8 I had to put my car in the shop and the dealer gave me a brand new Hyundai to drive as a loaner. I went through a small puddle of water in the road and got my socks and the cuffs of my pants wet. I know they're better now than they were then, but I just can't bring myself to even think about buying one.

      @Larry D3 was sideswiped on I55 at 65 mph. She was driving an Elantra. She rolled the car - twice.

      She walked away.

        Shit. 😳

        Some nailpolish and some 1000 grit sandpaper will clean that right up.

              For SUV's the middle row needs a 2-seat option (gap in the center to get through. I think more and more of the 3-row SUVs are coming with this now.

              Car seats galore.

              The Honda Odyssey's 2-seat option allows you to arrange it to either have a gap in the middle or have the gap to one side. For years, I have kept my middle row's two seats arranged to have a gap to the passenger's side. It's easier to get through from the side than it is to get through the middle.

                I did too #roster

                Since our roster is growing to 2 in November, we may be heading towards a minivan. The Odyssey seems like a good option! I also see the middle seats can slide together and apart, making access to the back seat (no jokes, Jon) easier.

                Mik id agree about the video screens. Both from a “back in my day we had magnetic chess, and played the license plate ABC game” angle, but also I liked your point about an audio book. Heck if they need a video screen, iPads I’m sure would do fine.

                An Odyssey will do fine. The interior design is quite thoughtful and versatile.

                ... video screens. ... Heck if they need a video screen, iPads I’m sure would do fine.

                Exactly. There is no point "investing" in an entertainment video screen that is built into the vehicle. It will be outdated long before you need to upgrade the vehicle itself.

                  Thank God, George. A slightly different angle, and the outcome could have been worse.

                  That being said, my daughter has a 2015 Elantra, and it has been perfect i.e., not once in the shop for an issue, but they did have a factory recall on the airbags.

                  That is one awful picture, George. It's only worth viewing because your daughter was OK. Not sure if I'm expressing myself very well, but I have a daughter, so it hits home.

                        hmmm. If I am doing this correctly, on this forum I can simply copy and paste an image? But, there are both picture and image links above this text box, so wondering what the difference is.

                        BTW - off topic but if the pic works, I spent years on that car, blood sweat and tears so to speak, plus tons of money. That's my wife and my son, now grown up (son, that is).
                        Of course if I posted this wrong, you are probably wondering what the hell I'm talking about staring at an image that didn't load.

                            1966, 289 hi-po, pony interior, factory air, sound-proofing the entire interior including headliner, trunk.
                            Other important and necessary additions: $, then $$, upgrade $$$, gottahavits $$$$. Then, there was the real money I spent as I went through everything, did all the bodywork, everything except for final spray of primer/base, clearcoats, and pearl (but I sanded it myself between coats, and rubbed it out painstakingly to get rid of all orangepeel. Loved that car, given all I put into it over several years of making it as close to perfect as I could. Still, kept it as a daily driver.

                                We are a Mustang family. My dad bought a 64.5. That got stolen and trashed so he bought a 68 convert. My brother had a 67 for many years, and I had a 65, 66 convert and a 67. Think Ford did a great job in the mid 2000's retro version and I will seriously consider a new mustang when we decide to buy a convertible.
