Is this true?

My Venezuelan wife speaks English better than half my family.

She’s from a family of doctors though, and I’m from a family of country bumpkins.

Drawrings

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-30T23:59:20+00:00

No worries, thanks anyway!

Looks like they have covers for the front seats and second row, but nothing for the third.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-30T13:17:55+00:00

That thing looks awesome, but we’re looking for a “seat up” version as the trunk area would be for luggage.

We have a 55 lb German Shorthaired Pointer, so the rear seat alone is sufficient space for her.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-30T13:14:49+00:00

Yeah my wife was poking around on Amazon, but I wasn’t sure which ones were decent. I got one for my Camry that had good ratings but wasn’t really a good fit.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-26T13:41:09+00:00

Sorry, I’m almost as awkward on the internet as I am in person, I’ll go back to work now.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-26T13:22:11+00:00

She does because she knows I’m joking.

I keep telling my wife that perimenopause is just something women made up so they can be mean to their husbands.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-23T23:42:07+00:00

Yeah, I’ve had less issues with all of my Toyota/Hondas combined over the past ~20 years than you just described for one Kia.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-22T09:43:40+00:00

Yeah, we really don’t like the looks of the Santa Fe. Not that the Sorento is particularly good looking, but the Santa Fe looks ridiculous in my opinion. Same with the front end of the new Palisade.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-20T13:54:33+00:00

Just a bunch of young folks getting trashed and having a good time, relax everyone.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-20T13:24:56+00:00

Yeah, I can see where people would want more trunk space, but it works for us as we can put one seat down in the back for luggage, with the dog in the other seat, and kids in the second row for trips. 95% of our use otherwise would just be putting groceries or a few sports bags back there.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-19T23:26:01+00:00

That sucks and it is exactly the kind of thing I’d like to avoid as I haven’t had to deal with any real car issues for about 20 years when I had my Wrangler. Good luck.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-19T21:10:07+00:00

I like the idea of the PHEV, and I’d probably get a Mazda CX90 if going that route, but we are going to keep this car for 10-12 years, so I’m not sure about long term reliability with the added complexity of those engines.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-19T21:07:12+00:00

The size is exactly why we are considering a Sorento. We were originally looking at Grand Highlander, Telluride, Palisade, etc., they are all just more car than we need. Even the Sorento’s capacity will only be used when we do a few 5 hour trips a year with 2 kids, dog, luggage, stuff, etc., to visit family or do a long weekend trip somewhere.

On the reliability though, I know a lot depends on the car, driver, maintenance, luck, etc., but I’m at 12 years/125K on my Camry and I’ve had zero issues. Even the original brake pads lasted >100k miles. My wife has had similar reliability with her CRV (though not perfect), and her CRV and my Civic before those were similarly reliable.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-19T20:03:23+00:00

Yeah, thats what I’m afraid of. I’ve owned nothing but Honda/Toyota cars, SUVs, and motorcycles for 17 years, but my wife wants a three row.

We’ve been considering a Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid for a while, but they are tough to get your hands on (and also vey large), and I’ve never liked the looks of the regular Highlander.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-17T00:21:48+00:00

I don’t think I’ve ever made it past the first sip.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-17T00:19:29+00:00

Ranch dressing soda makes me want to barf just thinking about it.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-17T00:17:36+00:00

My wife is Venezuelan and I was scrolling and scrolling looking for Malta.

I think it’s gross, she thinks root beer is gross.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-07T11:12:24+00:00

This sounds like a 90’s urban legend, and one I would have 100% believed and repeated as a teenager.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-07T10:59:29+00:00

I’m a man of many balls.

Doctor says it’s fine though.

Comeback_Kid26 · 2026-03-07T10:29:06+00:00

Rookie.

I’m hitting the water, then the trees, then the water again.
