Yeah that’s the most likely explanation.

Right but no dealer that is asking 30k for a car is going to come down to 10k because of inspection results. They are just going to pass on the sale and wait for another buyer who doesn’t know any better, or they will send the car to auction and hope for the best.

The 1st-to-4th “skip shift” is nothing new to GM cars - my C4 Corvette has it and I learned how to avoid it by the second day I owned it.

Skip shift has been around a lot longer than that. It was showing it’s ugly face in the 90s.

Fun fact:

He goes on and on about clutch wear but doesn’t even mention the syncros? Clutch wear from shifting gears is almost non-existent. You really found a great transmission expert to teach us about skipping gears.

I’m torn. On one hand it’s an interesting article about an oddball piece of motoring history purchased by and equally oddball couple. On the other hand...what in the world were they thinking. Very few cars end up being classics and fewer still within a reasonable time-frame from new. Limited edition rarely every…

Disagree. Data shows that higher performance (aka lower tread wear) tires are better in the wet than all seasons, regardless of their use. Braking distances are reduced with better tires, and all other handling aspects are increased.

A star spec or rs3 will do better in the rain than any all season - save maybe some…

The (former) Gawker and its sites have pretty consistently put forth a message that wealthy people are evil. The notable exceptions are wealthy celebrities that espouse liberal views, regardless of whether said celebrities do more than just talk about the issues or not.

That’s fine since it’s their prerogative to have…

The residents were pissed, and petitioned the Board of Supervisors to nullify the sale. One resident explained to The San Francisco Chronicle the shock that they, the city’s wealthy, could be so rudely taken advantage of

ATS-Vs are currently up to 15k under MSRP. You’re still not buying one.

RainX or be quiet about it. Seriously.

How many fake vents does this have on the front end? 6? 7? Another two at the back?

Honestly... forgive my language, but who the fuck watches these kind of colossally boring “channels?” Why would you sit there and be purposely tortured by these insanely boring and idiotic videos created by some narcissistic middle-America mormon jackwad who thinks he is clever and entertaining. The fact that people…

The NRA is also advocating murdering people using some messed up fear-mongering and propaganda, so I’m not even surprised. They’re not even trying to be subtle anymore.

“The Chevy SS was a bold attempt to capture the small market of enthusiasts who wanted a rear-drive V8 sedan with a bow tie on the front. The problem was that most of us were too broke to buy one, and the SS had to ride off into the sunset.”

After breaking down the numbers, I never understood why a $0.50/gallon price increase for premium can affect someone’s decision on which car to buy. Assuming the average driver goes 12K miles per year and the average car gets 20 MPG combined, this would only cost you an extra $300 per year which comes to about…

I’m sure that most considered this “crack pipe” without even realizing what they’re really looking at.
