Wait, $3k in repair costs / $12k in total car costs is bankruptcy? If it’s a regular stream of $3k repair bills then sure. But this just seems like a one-time bundle of deferred maintenance that needs to be done on any older European car bought from a stranger.

It is worth noting that the fuel economy standards that the EPA and NHTSA are already using on heavy duty trucks are based on gallons per 100 miles. Test procedure is the same as CAFE (FTP-75 for city, HWFET for highway), but with half of payload rather than a fixed 300 lbs.

Two waters, two coffees!

Neutral: What SUVs Should Jeep Build?

Great work blatantly ripping off a Petrolicious story from almost a year ago and not giving them credit: http://petrolicious.com/batman-s-garag…

Yeah, I read the same thing the other day. I believe it said you would get a 50/50 split with the current owner if you sold your TDI after September 18th.

That doesn't make any financial sense for the uber driver as 745Li will generate thousands in repair bills after being used for a relatively short time.

“Send a maniac to catch one”

Reminds me of Demolition Man!

Also the E-2(D? E?) Hawkeye

I don’t see the C-17, or C-5 on there either.

It is missing MTVRs, LVSRs, FLTVs, HMTTs, and their associated wreckers. If MRAPs and HMMWVs are on the list, so should they.

Missing the Ford class of Super Carriers. At this point, the Ford is closer to launch than the F-35, which they did include.

So the RZR is in there but not the USS Zumwalt?

I drove across country (Philly to LA) in an ‘85 Civic three-door with a friend once. The only issue we had was the friend constantly forgetting the car had a fifth gear and winding it out in fourth on the highway.

OMG, really??? they say Prius is an option for replacing the Golf?! What a joke, other than fuel economy there is zero comparision. The Prius roles like a bowling ball on corners while the Golf hugs the corners. The Prius looks like a car from Mars, while the Golf looks like it was designed by Picaso. And comparing…

Can’t fit in the Fiesta? Maybe it’s time to cut out the DQ

see, all of those ‘50s science fiction movies were right...
