Honda Pilot quick ride

I recently found myself buying a 2004 Holda Pilot, the reason for which was to write about and entertain you folk. Here's the first look at ownership-

Pros:

I've never really wondered what having invisibility as a super power was like. The honda comes really damn close to being invisible. Also, with the Pilot, I can refer to my "truck" (which feels cool) without having that dudebro stigma. It's comfy, and has a lot of buttons, an that I like. It's also SUPER practical.

Cons:

Things a damn pig when it comes to gas, there are maybe 2 or 3 things that Honda could have done better, but I understand them not wanting to outdo Acura. Front headrests are not so much functional as cosmetic, front seats aren't the best design in the world, I still can't figure out how to use the CD changer.

More thoughts to come....

How to operate CD changer: buy and install AUX jack

We had one of these as a family car, I drove it during high school and a little bit of college. I loved that car, and really liked the looks of it. Took care of the paint as well as I could after the couple of bumps and scratches it endured. I also had a couple different setups of subwoofers in there, the most fun being a 15" ran off of 460 watts in a huge 5 cu ft ported box. That thing was loud.

Pros: Seat heaters, 8 speakers, third row "seats"

Cons: Wallows like a pig, rear camber issues at higher mileage

Seen't it a lot. I've heard it's quite an issue on cars with older springs.

you know I was wondering about this. You disappear with your awesome NSFW posts and now you are driving around in a mom mobile. I think there is something else going on. :)

I think I have FINALLY found one that

1. isnt fucking mental

2. likes cars

She went up to help her father move a bunch of old Ford engine blocks around his property a few weeks back with a tractor. I couldnt picture it because she is MAYBE 110 lbs. Is a Jeep fan too.
