"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
I miss my 2012 VW Passat. I miss the power,the comfort,the handling,the quite,the power,the smoothness,and the power.
Had to get rid of it and get a SUV because the arthritis in my knees was killing me from having to climb in and out of a car and put my weight on my knees before my legs were straight.
So I traded it in on a 2013 Honda Pilot SUV,that I can slide in and out of without hurting my knees.
Most boring piece of crap I have ever driven. It is adequate in all areas,but that's about it. Has ok power,ok comfort,ok quiet,ok handling,and barely ok gas mileage. I once owed a base 55 Chevy tudor sedan in the early 70's that had the base 6 cylinder engine and standard tranamission. IIRC,the only options were the radio and heater. I paid 50 bucks for it and drove it home. Even it had more character and was more fun to drive than this freaking Honda.
The best thing that can be said about the Honda is that it is better than walking,but I might just be saying that because I sometimes have trouble walking because of the bad knees and back.
Getting old sucks. I don't recommend it to anybody.
