My wife and I split costs...95-5

Wait, lets do the math...Not a penny towards the mortgage (Ok, my house is paid for, but still) furniture/appliance/house bills/lawn care etc.

She agreed to pay 25% of the property taxes, but the bill sat on the fridge for 2 months until I finally paid it.

She does, however, pay most child care costs, but that is pretty much it. Her parents raised her to believe houses and cars sprout up naturally like trees.

I suppose as long as she stays hot (she joined Crossfit and is getting in great shape) and takes great care of my son, which she does, daddy has to pay the bills.

Whatever happened to womens' equality? I guess that is only if you end up in Court.

Don't hate. You can drive through speed traps 50mph over the limit and never be seen. They're practically invisible.

Yes, you can violate multiple traffic laws...other cars seem to accept it and just try to get away from you.

Kias are getting a lot better along with Hyundai.

But you'd have a lot more fun in the Genesis Coupe. I4 will probably be 20k and V6 25k.

That's the point of buying a disposable auto

Drive it until it craters, then leave it on the side of the road.

Why not one of these? Seems like it would get good mileage

I would have to imagine that a KIA would not be that bad a car to have. Seems like going for an '08 or one that was low miles 1 year old would be a great deal right now. With a 100k mi warantee rag it out and buy another like everyone is saying.

Kia..

I assume your talking about the Sorento...? If your going to buy new you really can't go wrong. I have driven them a couple of times as rental cars and they were pretty nice. The have a nice style for the price. There have been some significant problems with the automatic models pre 2005. Haven't heard any issues with the new ones. I have not been able to make a decision on the direction to lean. I have 2 audi's with 200K on them in the driveway. I think we are going to go with a Q7TDI. For me it's a hard sell..... In the end it's no CTT...
