Because consumers are sort of dumb and prone to buy from brand and model recognition than actual qualities of the said product.

Having to take time off work to go take your car in to have it fixed again and again is just as bad as anything. No thanks. VWs are garbage.

Yeah, I had one of those things. I guess I got lazy because after a few months the first one got all nasty and caked with dirt. Its still hanging in my garage!

I just pulled up their site. It hasn’t been updated in a year. Something tells me that isn’t the best sign...

I have a previously unforeseen problem keeping my Chevy Volt clean. Granted I have an awful commute that’s close to 40 miles each way and most of it is on a crappy freeway in California where when the rain stops for 6-8 months of the year gets rather dusty. But this car simply does not stay clean- ever. As in after…

So does he get to keep em’ or what?

It will probably be boring as hell too

I was wondering about that. I saw that most of the slow moving cars ( like the Cadillac and Suburban ) had their turn signals on. Does that mean for people to go around them? The Suburban looked like it was going 30MPH.

How much does it cost to go run the track? I wonder if it annoys people who go out there and suddenly there’s a big ass Suburban wallowing around.

The names of some of these cars sounds like the evil villain on GI Joe...

1st gear but perhaps more of a generalized comment when it comes to today’s trend in automotive design. I wish that somehow there would be a meeting at either Toyota, Nissan, or hell- all the rest of the automakers where the bosses would see whatever latest designs were being shown and said boss would dramatically…

I wasn’t even aware this was supposed to be a “sports” car. The design is simply too plain and dull. That and the mention of mechnical complexity- as in if its complex by VW standards- then one can expect a steady flow of annoying and difficult to fix issues.

This is REALLY awful and the use of force was utterly and completely uncalled for. I have hated the last two times I traveled on United and now I have a very good additional reason to NOT use them again. United owes this man an apology. 

I am so tired of hearing about the Trumps and their idiotic lives.

Too much work. I just spray the whole car with tire shine.

Same deal with the brakes on mine. The rear drums have vintage 1996 shoes but the front pads wear out every 40,000 miles. The original clutch on mine made it to 220,000 and the ignition switch is pretty worn out now.

That’s probably why hybrids have become such popular choices for taxis. Last year I took a taxi and it was a Ford Escape hybrid. The thing had over 350,000 miles on it. I asked the driver how often it went in for service and all he said was that they change the oil ever 10,000 miles and call it a day. Since that…

Well.... That will do it!

Because its important to test a car’s transmission and so they’re simulating going backwards and forwards over and over again.

What in the heck are you doing to your truck? Is it a V6? I have the 4 banger variation and that thing has 260,000 miles and I’ve certainly not treated it that great.
