Didn’t the original Mini E not have rear seats or wildly reduced cargo capacity? I’m assuming this new Mini has rear sear seats and normal cargo capacity compared to the gas model. So while it only has a bit more range than the original Mini E, the fact that the rear isn’t completely jammed pack with batteries is a…

This right here is part of the problem. It reaffirms the dealer’s decision not to order the manual cars because they can push a customer into an automatic (which is usually a little more expensive)

I blame the dealers. I can’t tell you how many times I have gone to a dealership, wanting to buy a car with a manual option, yet they don’t have any in stock. When shopping for my last car, no BMW dealership (3 in the area) had a manual 2 or 3 series, yet each dealer said “oh those don’t sit around long when we have…

The Washington Flyer Cabs are the worst! I unfortunately had to use them pre-Uber days. Can’t tell you how many times they left me stranded when after no-showing for early morning pickups to the airport. 

My mom had an 2005 ESV Platinum Edition. For 2005 it felt like the most luxurious thing on the road with nearly everything in soft leather and it was the first time I experienced Cooled Seats. The heated and cooled cupholders were mostly a gimmick as they only seemed to work if your drink were in special Cadillac…

100% agree and the consumer taking the surveys would agree. Model lines with the most simple of controls typically fare better than those with complicated systems. Toyota used to be near the top of these rankings because up until 3-4 years ago, their interiors were basic and simple. But over the past few years they…

A lot of the questions deal with how Difficult to Use (DTU) an item is. Initial Quality is a bit of misnomer, because the majority of the survey deals with the ease of use of the vehicle. So a volume car that has poorly designed cupholders, my rank low on IQS but in terms of the mechanicals and build quality is just…

And unfortunately 80% of us are just caught in the middle between these two loud and obnoxious polar opposites

That’s not an M3 interior. That looks like a 5 series or X5. Def not M3

Is this Peugeot’s way of announcing their return to the American market? The city in the background looks to be Los Angeles....

I worked for VW as a DAKO employee, DAKO sucks. I experienced the exact same thing as you, did all the same work as the actual employees yet never was treated to the same benefits. However, I blame this equally on VW since it was their HR that required them to contract out positions because of “Headcount” issues.

Many of the companies that gave out the $1000 bonuses also have annual profit-sharing. For example American, Delta and Southwest Airlines paid out bonuses equal to nearly +10% of each employee’s salary in profitsharing last year.

This title is a little misleading. The 747 is taking its final commercial flight with a US airline, but not its final commercial flight in the US as the title would have you believe. Commercial flights on the 747 will continue for at least the next decade on LH and KE to name a few.

“2010 Camry”

He has other investments but is a car enthusiast so he likes to spend money on things he likes (e.g. cars) in addition to traditional investments

He buys cars to collect them. He bought this one thinking that it would appreciate more not anticipating that the 2nd generation would be so much better than the first. He figured the last model year of a first generation hot Cadillac would be really valuable in years to come. It wasn’t until I told him about the V…

This was my grandpa’s car. He traded it into Doug’s Cadillac a few months ago for a low mile Black CTS-v Wagon with a manual.

Probably because they were the in service bays for 3 months at a time, keeps the mileage low haha

The problem is the goddamn dealers don’t even order them. When shopping for a M235i last year, I went to 4 dealers and none of them had them on the lot with a M/T. Every dealer said “oh yeah, when we get a manual it sells fast,” then order more of them dipsh*t! Same thing when I was looking for Jeep Wranglers a few…

The 737-200 is based on the original design from 1967, All Classics (300-500) and NG (700-900) have the swing out style OWE. Nobody except some regional operators in Canada flies the -200s anymore
