I feel like I have a high tolerance for less than beautiful vehicles, but the current M3 is a bridge too far. I don’t care how good it is otherwise, I just couldn’t own a vehicle that makes me throw up a little every time I look at it. 

I mean...none of the first set of things are me. But the Section 179 was me for a lot of years.

Personally I wouldn’t want a 90k luxury truck for hauling building material. Risk of damaging something so expensive is just too high for me.

But that’s personally, if someone has the money to spend on something like this for that purpose, more power to them. Seriously though, good for them, and I’m happy for them.

Imagine:
Income being $21,700.
Expenses being $38,200.
New debt = $16,500.
Old debt = $142,710.
And trimmed expenses by $38.50.

There’s kind of an underlying point here worth making that way more of this type of content is fake than people care to realize. Even if this is an exception, and most people will say “oh yeah of course I know its fake”, you’re still better off being conditioned to assume pretty much everything on the internet is a…

“Hannah, however, was created in a lab to make people very angry online,”

Came here to say this. We have a self-cert model for FMVSS compliance and people seem to really struggle with that concept.

My takedown was more based on the editorial and staffing direction of this site and the sort of thoughtless contrarianism that seems to be spilling all over the stovetop.

Nothing, nothing, nothing is an acceptable alternative to a single cab. If your truck using goal is the least amount of flexibility possible with the lowest amount of leg room, a single cab stands alone. There’s a reason that a single cab resides at the top of every retro-contrarians nonsensical wish list!! Everyone…

This is precisely why we should all be hugging Mazda, Toyota, and Subaru. The Miata and GR86/BRZ shouldn’t exist, and we should all stop spending money on useless shit boxes and just buy them.

As a Brit, I find it almost amusing that people laud over the original Defender, often paying well over $100k+ for an average example. The new one is actually pretty capable, looks fine, and certainly stands out in an ocean of egg-shaped crossovers.

People are freaking out about the 130 like Ford hasn’t been doing this same dance since 2007 and GM since 91.

That’s where I’m at with this. People here complain there aren’t any more manuals, or hatchbacks/liftbacks, or cars in fun colors. This has all of those things. It’s not going to be the Acura you remember from the past. It was never going to be. Did anyone really expect it to be? It’s hard to “channel” a car of the…

The 350Z-G35 relationship is actually exactly what an Integra-Civic relationship is supposed to be. Sport-minded coupe vs. Sensible commuter.

Show the court on the teddy bear where Jalopnik hurt you.

Keep in mind (unless you already know this) that the 4.2 has the lovely cam sprockets that are a press-fit, and requires the special tooling to get everything aligned properly - there’s a pin that goes in the side of the block to lock the crank, and a bar that aligns the cams - then the belt can be replaced.

Good luck with it Mercedes. I have always had a desire for a Phaeton but when I think of any kind of maintenance my body seizes up.

The previous owner claims that a cooling system flush was already done. The squeaky clean pink coolant seems to support that.

Maybe the timing belt change is 75% of the labor to get to the water pump?
