That makes sense. Other countries do that, why don’t we? Incompetent government?

We did just that. The residual value made it a steal. In addition, I my car only has 14K miles, why return the car, leave money on the table, and then have to fight the battle to buy a new car.

They know that their constituents will blame the Dems anyway.

So... should Americans be banned from buying property outside the US? Be vacation homes or permanent homes?

Public Transit makes tons of sense for a huge number of commuters..when it exists, when it works, when it is adequate and when it’s convenient.

So...the FIA is now investigating rumors months after the alleged incident?

I did see that movie in film class.

Probably your typical “unintended acceleration” where the driver mistakenly presses on the gas instead of the break.

Not for nothing, Motor Trend awarded the Renault Alliance the 1983 car of the year. Let that sink in.

Easy. Alpine A110 in the early 70's. Somehow it was used as a family car. Both my brother and I would fit in the little indentations behind the front seats.

With the average new car price of $47,000, you can find many brand new BEVs below that. Unless you are trying to say that anybody buying an average new car is rich.

If you are 60, but with 50 years of experience staring in karting all the way to high-level series, you are probably ok.

The rich and famous cannot be bother to slum down with the plebs. They would do F1 if they could. 

Right more questions than answers. Talk is cheap.

A crack pipe and a sword. One of my college roommates got a used car. Don’t know where did he buy it, or from whom did he buy it, but when he brought it home, we found a crack pipe under the back seat, and a sword in the trunk.

I have two neighbors that work for Hyundai. Quite often they have cars that are not for sale yet. One of them work in engineering and sometimes has cars with camouflage. He has had a GV60 for months. Finally, I saw it without the camo, and it is not bad, but not great. It is black mate color. Looks mean, but not great…

Deaths were increasing prior to the pandemic. It was discussed here at the time. 2020 was an outlier, the trend has been going up, coincidentally with the increase in sales of SUVs and Pickup trucks.

You can start by leasing the car, you’ll get the 7,500 right away, then you can buy your car at the end of the lease. If you pay cash, yeah, you’’ have to wait till tax time.

Calculate gas and oil changes, and the math starts to change.

Last year I bought out my TTS at the end of the lease. Got pre-approved by my bank in advance, but the dealership beat the interest rate and it was totally painless. Then again, it was Audi, so let’s see how it goes next year when we try to buy out my wife’s Bolt from Chevy.
