Rapidrider: That sucks!! I had something similar happen years ago to a Dakota I had gotten not 2 weeks before. Sideswiped, and he took off. This was before cellphones were prevalent, so... yeah. I was pissed and scared because it was 2am and he went up ONTO the curb before hitting me. Drunk and...

Perfect, thank you!

I called it in before leaving the scene. Any witnesses just drove around us as I got out of the way of parking lot traffic. Nobody wanted to hang around for an oops "bonk." :/ This is what I get for trusting someone.

I drive a 2017 CX-5 GT with all the bells and whistles (except AWD). A couple weeks ago, I was involved in a fender bender where the other driver backed into me in a parking lot, while I was fully braked, not moving. She was driving an F150, so her bumper hit the "trout pout" lip on the front...

Holy s*** y'all. I've been away from the forum for 2 months and this SAME debate is going on? SMDH.

Actually heavy rain isn't the issue where spinning happens and AWD is a benefit. It's on light rain situations where vehicle fluids (like oil) create a slick on the road. Aka hydro planing. I've driven in a crap ton of heavy rains, floods, hurricanes, and only had FWD. traction wasn't an issue...

Btw, mine is FWD. Despite all the points here, I don't see AWD being a benefit for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, man. I grew up here. I live 1 mile north of downtown, and commute to the Galleria. My drive is Memorial, which is not stressful at all. Living central like this was a VERY conscious decision. I was out in the burbs for years, stuck in traffic getting to work and decided that was for the...

Sounds like some are just surprised that there are those who don't or never have floored it or redlined;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

See above :) Only time I ever would have done that, it'd be "for fun"... If it struck me as fun (which it doesn't, lol). Zero need, for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, that has never been the case. Literally never for me. City driving with lights 80% of the time. The rest is highway/freeway with good steady flow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok too complicated. Back to me never having redlined a car... Not within the realm of my driving style. *shrug* Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems like you could do that in neutral, no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh I'm not concerned about hurting it. Just never saw a need or benefit to trying to redline it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Problems like how? I am NOT an aggressive driver. I see no need to floor it in 1st (unless there is a lava flow right behind me... That kind of thing.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol. We have that on our PS4 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is WOT? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have no idea what that means. Gun it in 1st? No thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol I have never redlined a car. Not even a rental on the Autobahn. Nowhere to do that safely or legally around here! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so my odo turned over 1,000mi today. I have a few thoughts on the car: 1. Pretty much no complaints. It is such a huge step up in all areas but mileage over my previous ride (which was a hybrid, so not exactly comparable there). 2. Speaking of mileage... Even for in-town traffic (which is...
