A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Hard to go wrong with Toyota but let's not pretend they didn't have to face one of the most expensive (per vehicle) recall ever on multiple models with the full frame replacement on their trucks...

Honda is another brand that's extremely reliable in general.

If you're not in the States, Hyundai and Kia are in the top 5 for reliability, and are much more affordable than Toyota and Honda

Best avoided if you live in that one country who's manufacturing laws are designed to benefit shareholders rather than consumers though lol

The wave of cars being stolen in the US via the use of USB cords has soured me on those brands permanently.

The fact that the vulnerability was fixed via a software patch did not do wonders for my opinion either.

What is it about the US laws that turns those brands to shit?
