If you ever see me in a white t-shirt and sneakers with a suit, you have my permission to murder me.

This is Jalopnik, not Gawkganistan. We can take a joke.

Millennials are the first generation that refuses to suffer trolls. Also, Sarver seems to think trolling one of his players shouldn’t cause loss of morale or productivity. Who has unrealistic expectations?

The 510 was always cool on the West Coast, particularly California, but the 510 wasn’t particularly cool elsewhere, and Datsun didn’t sell high volume. My mom owned a 510 with mag wheels and wood grain steering. She had one of the coolest cars at her high school, but when she left California, the Datsun was regarded

Doesn’t matter if it was abused. Modern cars are designed to deal with idiots, especially if it’s a naturally-aspirated fleet model. What new engines cannot suffer is owners who don’t change the fluids or do the routine maintenance.

No contest, even if the FI system was an ugly trainwreck

Charitable contributions are not categorized as miscellaneous itemized deductions, thankfully. CC are subject to a 50% ceiling, generally, not a 2% floor.

§1015 is the general rule and theory. It basically means that gifts are non-taxable transactions for the recipient. In practice, the law works differently. If you try to gift deductions to someone else, you’ll probably have your basis adjusted to $0, which makes the donation a taxable transaction.

Only car guaranteed to make the owner poorer

A wash is the best outcome. Car is recognized as part of AGI, which affects your phaseouts. Charitable deduction is an after AGI deduction.

You can’t take a deduction for donating property in which you have no basis. Plus, you don’t receive a benefit unless you itemize your deductions.

I’m about 500 miles from the nearest mountain range. Round trip in a Prius is 36 bucks. Plus, Prius doesn’t make sense as a purely financial purchase because gas-savings doesn’t offset the price premium, but if it’s a gift :-)

It’s the only car in their lineup that doesn’t make the driver look like a massive douche. Not surprised you hate it ;-P

A+ Epic stealth trolling. Starting a war between the SI cliquen and the E30 clique, like SPECTER starting a war between the US and USSR.

I have all Group A DTM seasons on my computer :-) Amazing stuff.

Neutral: Why Is Subaru Such A Hit?

Feel free to bash gays and dogs, I’m sure no one will care, but leave the national parks out of this!

The question applies to all Japanese brands. Europeans don’t buy Japanese cars, though, Japanese cars have thrived in the brutal proving ground of North America?

Shouldn’t come as too much of a shock. Subaru CUVs have about as much ground clearance as a Panther sedan. Slammed sedans don’t work in the US, and that’s part of the reason people are abandoning the sedan segment.

3) Subaru’s brand is in good position to meet CAFE, imo. They need some technological help, and they must develop a plan for XV, which is classified as a car, IIRC. However, Subaru have never really marketed their vehicles as offroad studs; instead, they are always trying to prove that their car-like CUV wagons have
