The KLR650 is truly the Jack of all trades, but master at none of them.

Finding a buyer willing to wait from what I experienced is the hardest part. Also if you have an auto loan through J.P. Morgan Chase, you won’t get any help from them. Their process for releasing the title is as ancient as Julius Ceaser himself. They wouldn’t work with me at all until the loan balanced was paid and…

The SV650 is a great bike. It does everything well. It’s balanced, easy to control quick enough for most people. I have wanted one ever since I got into riding motorcycles. Ended up going with a Ninja 650R instead, but always wished I had gotten a SV650S instead.

Suzuki has since brought the SV650 back, but I still…

I missed the debut of the 2018 Mustang since I went to the auto show two days before it debuted. Honestly I’m not mad about it. I’m also not going to spend another $13 just to go back and see it. I work in downtown Detroit, so I could walk a couple blocks and see it before the show ends.

A cheap EV would work with my daily commute (16 miles one way) and I’d be able to get the best parking sports in my parking deck since they’re reserved for EV/PHEVs, but I actually van pool which is less than two miles from my house. So now I spend 10 minutes driving to and back from it a day, and jump in a van and…

Oh yeah there’s definitely a difference in build quality between the Focus and Fiesta. Not to confuse build quality with reliability, but if you sit in both cars, you’ll notice pretty quickly that the Focus is just a better car to sit in. Especially the FoST with Recaros.

The deal breaker for me when I was considering…

It’s called a used Volvo. :)

The price, amount of advertisement and availability will be key factors to determine the success of the Stinger GT. If KIA prices it right, markets the fuck out of it and as long as it’s available on dealer lots, then I think it will sell well. Instead of comparing the Chevy SS, I think the Dodge Charger and Chrysler…

That is true!

I think it’s going to share its underpinnings with the Everest/Ranger, but that will be it. As someone I know at Ford told me recently. Pretty glad to hear this.

Exactly. A family friend of mine who’s an engineer over at the Wayne Assembly plant familiar with the Ranger/Bronco program told me this as well. Which I’m pretty happy to hear and hoping that it actually has some sort of retro styling and doesn’t look like a boring crossover.

You will in a few years. I bought a used 15 V60 T6 R-Design earlier this year that was an employee lease and only had 12k miles on it for $14k less than MSRP. Depreciation is not kind to Volvo’s which make them great as second hand purchases.

I’m just guessing, but I’m predicting a 36-37k base price, but yeah loaded it’ll probably be north of $40k.

I’m in love. I assume this will be slotted under the K900 hopefully? If this has like a mid $30k starting price, I’ll be heading to the nearest KIA dealer for a test drive once it hits dealer lots.

The CRV can handle a well groomed dirt road. Depends on your definition of what a dirt road is however. Because I’ve seen some “Seasonal Roads” in my state that a lifted 4x4 couldn’t even make it through.

Sounds like it would do just fine from what you’re explaining.

They made great tailgating vehicles with the lift gate and the stow-able tables. Friend of mine had one and we used it at every tailgate party we went to.

Ever since the 1 series came to the U.S. I always wanted one. Even more so than a 3 series. I especially wanted to buy a 135i, tune and throw a few bolt ons to get it to 400hp and have a fast and fun daily driver, but it’s too small for my daily driving needs. :( So I drive a wagon instead.

Not engine wise. The new ZR1 is getting the “LT5" which for the most part is just the LT4 engine in the ZO6 but it’s going to have a more powerful supercharger. It’s also going to have some other changes to mitigate the “heat soak” issues that the ZO6 has been having. From what I’ve been told they’re lowering the…

If it has the 3800 Series 1 engine in it, then you would probably win it too!

I loved my parents “dustbuster” 94 Chevy Lumina APV. It became my first car so that’s probably why. Such an underrated vehicle. I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned that it had plastic body panels which didn’t rust, had seating for seven, and the rear seats were configurable. So you could move them around in different…
