I’ve mentioned this before but if HD wants to attract new and younger buyers they’ll have to do more than just introduce new bikes. They need to overhaul their brand and marketing presence too. Their branding is totally geared towards primarily older, middle-aged white conservative males. Its all drenched in “Murica”,…

It seriously looks like a Lincoln.

Is it me or do all nasty Republican politicians also look pretty nasty too?

Uh... ever seen the quality of what most CCTV footage looks like? Its usually beyond shitty like watching a badly worn out VHS tape. Not sure that’s such a great reference point for self-driving applications...

I look at it another way: The GOP as well as the far-right faction of their voting base are clawing out of a enlarging hole they’ve been sinking in for years. The tides have turned and their numbers are no longer enough to win elections. So they cheat. Gerrymandering, suppression, and even collusion with foreign…

Just plain, pure, hateful and mean. That is all that the Trump admin is about. And his followers are just as mean and nasty as he is because they are probably crowing like little chickens over this too. Nevermind that none of his supporters did jack shit in school and hence wound up being losers with shitty jobs. But…

Thanks for the insite!

They are probably overjoyed that for once their trucks have an actual practical use.

I’ve always been fascinated that reliability is so overlooked on this site and ironically the best-made, more reliable cars are also the vehicles the most scoffed at. I live in the SF bay Area where BMW 3 series are as common as Camrys elsewhere. I’ve met so many people who’ve owned these kinds of cars which albeit…

What annoys me about many German cars is how many are designed and in many cases made difficult to service. I keep my MIL’s VW Jetta in service and even the dumbest things are many magnitudes worse to fix than on any of my Toyotas. I replaced a leaking window washer tank on hers recently and it required moving a…

I bet she’s like a lot of people who will look for the smallest excuse to buy a shiny new thing. Sure- the A6 is probably a piece of garbage. Most German cars are a pain in the ass. But yes- I agree with you, its far cheaper to fix than to buy another. As far as ditching cars at 100k, well cars today are meant to last…

Actually I own a Japanese truck, a 60+ year old classic and a 6 year old Chevy Volt. I’d say about 40-50% of the people I know who have bought German cars have had either a continual occurrence of little, annoying issues or they’ve had catastrophic failures. The cars are grossly over-engineered and difficult to work…

I’m on a whole nuther’ level of cheapness. I own a 22 year old Tacoma and a 6 year old Volt I bought used since they depreciate drastically. The way I look at it is that I have a shitty commute so might as well drive beaters...

PS: I own a 2011 Chevy Volt...

Volvo is more or less the same as a Mercedes these days. Just another snotty euro-branded car ( But maybe different in that its owned by a Chinese company now)

The fact that the Audi- which BTW, a 2010 car is STILL pretty new and 100k is not really many miles- has had lots of problems should tell you that guess what? A lot of those “upscale” cars are pretty terrible when it comes to reliability. Why does it have to be upscale anyway? Some of the plebeian brands just too…

I always hated this generation of Camaro. That and the same era Mustang. Both looked like they had been popped out of a plastic molding machine.

Where are they coming up with these numbers for maintenance costs? As in where did the 70k come from for the Lincoln? The old Town cars used the Panther platform, which had been around forever and ever and by that point was more or less bulletproof. I’ve been in a number of Crown Vic cabs that had well over 500k on…

Its laced with..... Truth Serum!

I’ll be even more happy when their Dad is impeached or otherwise leaves the White House and takes them with him.
