To say nothing of the risk of a civic crackdown that sees your “apartment” towed away and every possession not on your back goes with it.

P.J. O’Rourke—later known mostly as a politial gadfly, he used to more than just dabble in automotive writing—once praised these as a life hack for both winter and “mud time” in rural New England. The combination of lightness and for-real AWD, he posited, let them swarm through things that would bog down a…
He seems to have several other cars for sale on the by-owner side of Craigslist, make of it what you will.
Long-haul should if anything bring up the rear in electrifying big trucks. Local delivery and short hauls are the low-hanging fruit in a lot of ways: not just range and recharging, but also avoiding diesel exhaust in highly populated areas and having more opportunities to recover energy through regenerative braking.…
It needed a new cylinder head and “new suspension” before 128,000 miles?!?
Right? It wasn’t that long ago {oh, wait... 2013-15... I guess it was} in these very pages that Doug DeMuro bought a Rangie under the CarMax warranty and dined out for some time on tales of the overcomplex and underengineered things that had to get fixed. If memory further swerves, the epilogue to that series was…
You can drive it anywhere once registered; you just might have trouble registering it in some places.
I’m not seeing the value proposition very clearly, but I’m sure somewhere out there is a tech bro with money to burn who loves these and wants to go overlanding or at least look as though he could, and they only need to find one.
And as long as we’re doing women forensic scientists acting like police detectives, there have been at least a couple like her, Sam Ryan (Amanda Burton) and then Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox), ‘crost the pond on Silent Witness...
If being cited as a girlhood inspiration by at least one (I think it was more than one but would have to do some research to confirm that) actual woman astronaut doesn’t make Uhura a shoo-in for this list, I don’t know what would.
If we’re talking about a model rather than a particular individual car, this is the full-stop, mic-drop correct answer, for the reasons you and others have stated.
Back when these had been out just a few years, one of the car magazines put the donut spare on some of their road test cars and found the new space saving tire surprisingly competent, though unsurprisingly that was the corner that stepped out first on the skidpad.
But all involved seemed to grasp that the joys of Frasier came in taking a man who considered himself the urbane, composed master of the universe, and then slamming him, full-force, into characters with no interest in taking his shit.
From the look of the trailer, it seems like they’re going back to square one with the character and are just making him an insufferable elitist who lacks empathy again. I hope they’re picking up from where they left off and the trailer is just misleading us.
I looked at the price and mileage, heaved a sigh about the present state of the market, and pressed NP. It seems decently kept, and with a used car you’re buying not only the inherent qualities of the machine but also the driving and maintenance habits of the previous owners...
A well kept original ‘73 Monte Carlo could come live with me and be my car. I’d take this... creation for free only as a parts car for that or one of its GM stablemates... and only if I had a place to store it where nobody would have to look at it.
Lucky for him, too. If he’d been up against a real hard case (they’re out there) at close quarters, pulled a gun, and dropped it, he might not have lived to pick it up.
The boss is probably already 100% done with his shit prior to this happening.
Focusing on a luxury car when your goal is to save money for something else indicates that the compartmentalized mind is a thing of many marvels. But if you’re determined to do this and the car is meant to be a keeper (which causes the proposition to make more sense), Lexus stands out remarkably among these…
They came to see our country and its people, and sad to say, they got a good look at one of its recently prominent aspects.
