Take the new job ........ hook yourself up wirelessly to your old job ....... when the "shit" happens, at the old job, deal with it remotely ........

A bright young fellow like you should be able to figure out how to make that happen ....

No! They are totally different. You will void your warranty! Those TRD door braces are tempting, though.

Hey so what compact-midsize luxury SUV would you recommend to a mother who is driving a 2002 Lexus RX300 at the moment. The current RX is out of the question and my father is pondering on the GLC. All suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I know this is probably more appropriate for the other automobiles section but it was just a random thought.

Macan?

Funny. I don't let images load. I just saw that Tbag mentioned the same vehicle.

Think I have the wife talked into one for her next vehicle. As long as they still make blue ones at any rate. Colour is her number one priority in a car.

She has good taste in colour.

Well her idea of "blue" may not match yours.


She HATES the colour of my car.

I honestly can't stand the Macan. It says "douchebag" in a loud voice to me. At the same time, I'm sure of that type of vehicle, it's the best driving. Don't get me wrong. We own a Forester. Why? Large interior for hauling things. Can tow lightly. Top crash ratings. Rocks on the road near our house during winter. A Macan would be a lot more money for a lot less utility. I'd rather have a Panamera. It's ugly, sure, but it flies.

Anything Mercedes. That seems to be the popular choice, at least that I see here.
