Yep.... I stopped shopping for a 3-5 year old F-150 when I could instantly get $10K off of the sticker of a new 2017 model back in November for precisely this reason.

Wow, usually I use a screwdriver to mod my car...

They did a CSL Homage and a 2002 Homage in 2016... I’m pretty sure that red car above is from 2008.

Didn’t they first show the M1 Homage in 2008, and the i8 concept in 2011? I swear that the M1 Homage morphed in to the i8, but I could be wrong...

Someone who’d plunk down $100K for a Land Rover Defender?

I love the fact that the M1 Homage pretty much made it in to production as the i8. There are changes, but you have to admit seeing an i8 on the road is pretty much like looking at a concept car rolling in traffic.

Hmmm... my 16-year old car does this.

I had a similar issue. First dealer tried to sell me a used truck (demo w/ 6,500 miles) as new simply because it was never titled. Things deteriorated to the point where we had to dispute the deposit with our credit card company. Cue yelling and screaming by dealer.

Um... the vehicle literally rolls. With a qualified operator on board, it can reach literally any place serviceable by road. Literally.

I don’t know, I thought it was pretty slick.

I’m the biggest advocate for winter rubber out there. If I lived in Knoxville, I wouldn’t bother either.

They assess fines, which, if left unpaid, can sometimes be leveraged in to a lien on the property if you get a sympathetic city council and judge.

I just wish it was like Costco: Free Samples on weekends!

I grew up in the midwest. Smack dab in the center of Illinois. I got stuck in my 5-yr old Honda Civic once. I, a poor retail hourly employee at the time, bought myself some snow tires on 14" steelies. It’s not mandatory. It’s priorities.

I agree 100%. You’ll need to buy tires eventually.

My WRX Wagon had Sheep Dog hair on the dash. Was there a recall for this?

It’s not a high horse. The difference is real. Sure, there’s “good enough” but there’s a much, much better option than “good enough.”

I had my speech prepared when I was in retail:

Ouch...

I miss my WRX in the snow. It was rock-solid when I wanted it to be, and sideways when my inner 12-yo wanted it to be.
