I doubt this guy is even close to wealthy. He probably has a decent income and a pile of debt. I could buy his dumb car with cash. I can, because I won’t.

I suppose the first question is, where are you from? I’m from the mountain west and Oldsmobuicks suck here. The fluffy couch does not mix well with the twists and turns that we even have on our interstates.

The roadster would be great for Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, but what happens when you get to the Rockies and hit the passes and canyons?

I don’t get the giant cars. You can carry everything you need to live for a week in an 80 liter backpack. A pack that size will easily fit in your passenger seat. This would include a tent, a pad, a sleeping bag and changes of clothes. So....Any car that’s not going to break down is a great solo road trip car. …

Minis are super fun and stupid in an excellent way. I’ve had a couple and never regretted it for a second. In fact i think I should get one again.

“When”…Why?

The thing with stocks is you can cherry pick the time period to support your chosen narrative. You could say it’s up a zillion percent since it went public and you’d be right. Or you could say it’s down close to 40% from its peak and you’d also be right. And you could be me and sell the hell out of it years ago…

Let’s be clear. Planned parenthood just called me to see if I wanted them to legally kill my teenager, there’s a gang outside my house preparing to roast the neighborhood dogs, and I just paid for an Ecuadorian serial killer to get a top surgery. This has to stop!

Man...I love the idea of Cadillac being Cadillac again. Chasing the Germans on their own turf wasn’t the smart play. Big stylish land yachts is Cadillac. Let’s hope this works for them. I want the cornerless midwestern planes to be full of overpowered oversized, sedans that can store bodies in the trunk, sliding…

Bradford would never paint his car teal. Hunter and Thaddeus would disown him and his father wouldn’t allow it on the estate.  Plus a 996 is way too new.

This is simple...I someone thinks you are cool, they will continue to think you are cool even if you have questionable taste in car colors and poor watch purchasing judgement. Reasonable people will give you a pass on these foibles if they dig your character

That is not how buy backs work. It’s a legal process involving paperwork. The buyer has to give the seller/manufacturer multiple opportunities to repair issues before lemon law is triggered. Service records must be supplied.

Agreed.  You might want a big torquey engine to keep vibrations down while highway cruising, but 80hp on a bike is a ton of power. 

I’ve owned and driven a lot of cars. Big hp on the street isn’t really that fun after the shock wears off.  Just give me a manual, and I’ll have a good time.  The sweet spot for street fun without stupidity is probably around 250hp if the cars not too heavy.

“Hey Elan, my good friend and fearless leader, can you fix this weird glitch that happens when I say things you don’t like?”

I’ve had a few Subarus but the CVT chased me away from the brand. Bad performance and low reliability are not what I’m looking for. The 2017-18 engine failure rates caused me pause as well. That seems to be under control now.

The transmissions are completely different and have had a very high failure rate for close to ten years. Google Subaru CVT service bulletin.

My GF also has the 08 accord with a box on top.  I wish it would die, but it refuses. 

I don’t think you’ll see the post CVT Subies hitting 250k regularly.  There’s enough service bulletins and warrantee extensions to make it pretty clear that the current crop of Subies won’t set any odometer records going forward.  But, they will get used pretty hard for whatever miles they have in them.  Sadly, their…

I’ll give you a pass on the IROC. But maybe reflect on why you want to barf irrational amounts of petrol out of the pipes of a glorified minivan so you can tap into its deep well of power a few times a year on a public road that can’t safely contain its over the top output.
