I was recently considering a contour svt because two nice ones popped up on the local CL. I will say this, one of them was all stock, with 110k miles, and the owner had almost every receipt for maintenance done and was asking a little less than this person’s $3250. The other car still had less miles and a slightly…

$5-10k as written in the article

Yeah, if you check out my other reply in this little thread, I said I think VW should have to buyback, fix them, and resell them. I agree that sticking owners with resale issues sucks. But it pains me to imagine a bunch of these cars going to the crusher because a second catalytic converter would lower the cars power…

But by trashing the currently good cars that went through the process, you are making their environmental impact already higher because over the course of the lifespan the environmental impact of making the car is “defrayed” because it is a one time set amount. Of course there is probably a tipping point, and that…

Well, that’s a pretty narrow view of environmental impact. The pollutants created from harvesting materials, shipping materials, building the cars, and then shipping the cars is probably significant enough that some sort of not quite good enough solution may be better for the environment in the long run.

Well if you get a turbo s for $12k, I hope I can get a RWD V6 model for $6,000. I’m going to be watching the market on these because if depreciation hits them as hard as it hit the cayenne, I will buy one because I won’t be able to see some of the awkward angles of it when I’m hauling ass with my wife, kid, and 15 cu…

I for one am not mourning the discontinuation of the viper because I would never own one. I understand that it’s representative of an idea but I hope this opens up time/money/effort for a sports oriented car that’s smaller than the challenger/charger and more affordable and practical than the Viper; how about the…

VW is much more focused on a crossoverish golf wagon, so don’t hold your breath. The 4 motion all track is set for release next year.

I’d be more than content with the performance of a non-blown 540i, but especially if it means I shell out 1/3 of the money this person is asking,

Also, I was not defending the parents in the article, only responding to some pretty outlandish statements by Dyne. And my kid is not even 2 so, I'm working on raising a decent human being but the results aren't in yet.

Did you read my comments? Because I really don’t think you did.

I think what I took most issue with was this, “Kids are not an excuse for anything or should they give you any kind of allowance in any situation.” I think for proper development, you should expect kids to cause lots of small indiscretions, that their parents have some manner of dealing with, that you may not even…

For fun, let’s just play this out, if you are going to keep your kid from ever negatively effecting anyone, ever, you are either never going to leave your home or constantly hold their hand. That sounds like a kid that’s going to be a pretty terrible adult.

More album sales and online downloads, true. Far less critical acclaim from the hip hop world and mainstream critics and awards but you’re right.

Mine is an e34, it’s cheap and requires maintenance but I wouldn’t say POS yet. Although, right now the window switch just crapped out on me and my front passenger window is stuck half way down.

Lots of people in this thread seem to have no idea what rap is about, what some rappers truly talk about, or what the industry sounds like. Kendrick Lamar has been the biggest rapper over the last 5 years, and his last two albums have been extremely influenced by soul, R&b, and blues. He is largely representative of…

Climate change is doing wonders for Oregon.

I’m so happy the first generation was ugly, it may help make them affordable. Cayenne-like depreciation for the Panamera would make me seriously consider one.

I watched this video and then immediately went to craigslist and searched “Saab 96" and only came up with Saab 900s from 1996... Damn.

You know, when I see Samantha bee clips from her show, I think that she may have been a better pick(although I don’t know if she was in consideration). But Trevor Noah has been pretty good and getting better.
