Chrysler slant-six?

Buy your car out-of-area.

There are also states where dealers have to pay a property tax on all the cars in their inventory. In Texas, it kicks in January 1st. Buy a car in Dallas between Christmas and new years and they’ll be more willing to deal.

I’ve always gotten better pricing and service going out of my market to large cities with multiple dealers.

I don’t work for free, but I also don’t give away money to my vendors — most of whom are less easily replaced in my workflow than a car dealer.

One time I walked into the kitchen to see my 16-year-old sister eating butter.

In the US, at least, truth is a defense to defamation. You can’t defame someone by revealing their real age. (Maybe it could be invasion of privacy?)

I’ve been wary of turbo engines ever since I owned a B5 passat with the sludgemaster flash 1.8T engine, but people have had good experiences with the 3.5L V6 ecoboost. Anecdotally, many are driving them to 200k with only scheduled maintenance.

I mean, I hear you. We have massively oversized Britax carseats because we used to have a Scion and were worried about crash safety.

It’s not a canyon carver. It’s a 4900 pound, 202" station wagon that seats six. Of course the steering is a little soft.

They use space efficiently.

My wife drives a ‘14 ecoboost flex and it’s fucking fantastic.

Some dealers are happy to sell on volume. Especially if there are a lot of dealers in a small area (they compete on price to encourage people to come to them for service) and if it’s late December and they’re in a state with a EOY vehicle inventory tax.

At least SOA leaned on them about it.

The Rolls Royce B60?

All marriages are built on compromise. If my wife looked like keri russell, it might be worth the treason.

My (black) dad was treated like garbage at his local BMW dealer when he was shopping for a car for my mom.

You’re welcome. I really wanted to like the 5 because a 4/5 size van with car handling appealed to me. But I couldn’t get past the crash testing.
