Did old Wadsack (what a terrible name) get out of her 71 in a 35 ticket?

Oh yea, when you look at the details on the leases, oooof. The leasing companies, especially the captive finance arms taking these, are going to be hurting in 2-3 years. They pull out all the stops, inflated residuals, RCF at zero (or less if they can do that), high capitalized value, just everything. I was looking at…

The GR Corolla was 16 seconds slower than the WRX? Huh, that is surprising. Not surprised the Tesla is faster, its got more powers. The 2 seconds isn’t super impressive though since it has almost 200 more HP.

Not a great place to crash at this time of year. Also, calling Nome and Unalakleet “cities” is a bit generous.

You are 100% correct. Thats why my wife and I are still rocking the cars we are. We could afford something, but I’m not paying these crazy rates. I looked at an EV lease about a year ago that was like $190/month, $0 down and I concluded that compared to our current $0/month, no money down car situation, it wasn’t even…

Think they will give me a 8.5% rate if my credit score is over 82o instead of 720?

Yea, like my wife’s car you couldn’t replace anything. Well maybe you could, but it wouldn’t be worth it. The built in Nav is on a rotating display and all the HVAC controls are buttons, but can be controlled from nav screen and the CD player is built into the dash. But the whole thing is just so tied in, getting is…

Yea, I don’t really need android auto or carplay, Bluetooth is all I really care about. But I have a 5 and 7 year old, so I have been purposely putting it off, to some extent. Not sure I can handle total request live every time I am in the car with the family.

Ehh, I do a lot of work in PA and lived there for 25 years so I have seen it all. What you are describing as Central PA is more Northern PA as most areas south of 76 are pretty well populated outside of some areas west of Harrisburg and East of Pittsburgh. Lancaster has the Amish and farmland and you have Northeast PA…

I don’t know, was just telling them what pete and gerry’s eggs are marketed as. One would think that hens raised in a more humane manner would lay better eggs. Stress on people usually isn’t good for long term health, I doubt it is for other animals as well.

Anything in hearse guise is fine by me, though I am very partial to the Japanese hearse conversions...

I completely agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and should have said that to begin with. What others drive and/or think look good doesn’t bother me. I am just not a fan. 

You know, that is funny that you bring it up. I grew up in that general area, a bit east in York County and we were always “South Central, PA” I have never actually heard just Southern PA used as a descriptor. Philly is Southeast PA and Pittsburgh is Western or Southwestern PA.

I mean, Pete and Gerry’s eggs are organic, pasture raised eggs. Not sure if you were using that or making a joke.

Sorry, was just saying that some Highlander of my generation had a built in Nav so those may be harder to replace. I do find it interesting that a Limited Hybrid didn’t have it while other non-hybrids (My MIL has an ‘06 with a nav) did. I do think that even some of the built in nav versions can be replaced, but…

Ahh, got ya. I think my comment also works for the $120k guy and the Impala SS suggestion. 

I mean, if you are going to suggest a wagon, you might as well suggest the real go-fast wagon, the E63 AMG. Or a RS6 Avant if you want the Audi version.

This could be presumptuous, but someone with a $120k budget probably doesn’t want a Mercury Marauder.

Only because I am stuck in trying to find the perfect weekend family car will I suggest this. A CLK63 AMG Convertible (Could also do the Audi or BMW version, but not my style). Way less than the budget, but the roof goes down for family fun. Depending on the kids ages, back seat might be tight. Otherwise, all of the…

Mine is a Hybrid, but it didn’t have the built in nav head unit. Found this picture which seems to be the same layout as mine.
