‘Zackly. A three-year-old Sentra does the job, with cheap parts, relatively cheap labor, and after you wear it out, you can walk away from it knowing you got your money’s worth.

But with even most cars in the sub-20k range achieving 38 mpg, what’s the point of paying extra for a Prius? If it’s about making a fashion statement, that’s one thing.

That’s still not that big of a deal when a fresh off the lot Sentra, or many other cars, can deliver 38 mpg for less than $20,000. Plus, you don’t have to get your garage wired for some fancy pants charger.

And where is all that electricity supposed to come from anyway?

I agree with you about whaling. It’s earthtastic!

So this week’s Fear Flavor is car hacking. Next week it’ll be something else. I’m still looking forward to whatever this week’s Outrage Flavor is. Last week it was lion flavor.

I want to see them capture a lion, and then shoot it while on board a whaling vessel, and bikini-clad models will hand them their assault rifles.

There was a rumor that Italdesign had originally created this design for VW for the Scirocco Mark II. VW had taken the design in-house.

Very nice price. Not fast, but very unique.

And she found herself behind the wheel

And she asked herself, “how did this get here?”
at the door of my beautiful house
and what does it fit?

There’s something funny about the phrase “current owner” when referring to electrically powered cars. I’m pretty sure the current owners of Teslas have referred their friends, clients, and consorts already. Is $1,000 really going to make that much of an incentive on a six-figure fashion accessory that you can drive? I…

Wrong my friend. The phrase that doesn’t pay is “the end result.” Please compare to “the result” and count the number of vowels. You can pay Vanna on the way out.

But Ford does sell lower priced versions of this truck. So you’re just not making sense.

Do you mean “the result.”? I never quite understood “end result.” That’s an extra vowel, and Vanna will make you pay for that.

“Crack pipe.” I had the pleasure of driving one of these 733i with a stickshift and it was an absolute joy. So I’d hold out for finding the nicest one with a crashbox.

Before Mr. Obama became a presidential candidate, his whip was a Chrysler 300e. He traded it for a Ford Escape hybrid as part of his Barack 2.0 candidacy reboot.

What if genital herpes was only as prevalent as Scion products? Would that work for you?

Why is it “insulting to the rest of us who can’t quite afford them.” ???

I’d think that FCA’s crosstown rivals might have been aware of this. I can’t imagine why anybody would want to “merge” with FCA while that’s going on.

Of course, the most amusing part of this is knowing that the Port Authority Bus Terminal still remains the polyp on the Devil’s colon of Big Apple mass transit. It’s going to require $10 billion to fix, and given that the Port Authority can’t shake down partners to help pay the bill, it’s just going to sit there and…
