So basically, what you're saying is Phoenix is relatively safe? Score! It must be our oppressive heat, the oppressive view of alcohol consumption (falling, I'd say, just shy of Teetotalism), and the 'Wild, Wild West' view of gun control (there shouldn't be any laws that restrict you from carrying your gun anywhere,…

Pair the high sticker price with the fact that I'm sure any dealership you visit has probably added a minimum $10,000 to $15,000 "Market Value Adjustment", and you're in to Porsche 911 / Audi R8 / Maserati / Aston Martin / Jaguar territory. And the Viper cannot compete.

See, whenever someone calls the Viper an "exotic", this is the image that pops into my head:

If this happened in Chicago, then so long as he wasn't drunk and/or high, the union will protect them. So no, probably not fired.

-Ditch the alphabet soup.

Today, they are upping the price, and in addition, the dealers are probably adding a "Market Value Adjustment".

Tomorrow, it's rebates and "$1 over invoice!" sales.

Seems to happen to most every new, trendy car these days.

You say that like you don't think dealers aren't going to tack on a "Market Value Adjustment" on top of the price increase.

This reminds me of one of those comedy sketches or hidden camera shows where the guy is waiting at the valet stand, the valet drives up and opens the door for the guy, who just has a look of disbelief on his face. The valet tries to sound convincing, and says "it was like that when you dropped it off...?"

Except this…

Acura ZDX? Good riddance. That and its Honda Accord Crosstour twin are cars that should never have made it past the scribble in the designer's sketchbook. Ugly, ugly, ugly. They are the cars that fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

So each First Class seat gets 3 windows. Nice. For U.S. travel, you're lucky to get one. Hell, the seating configuration of U.S. Airways A321s means there's one or two rows that don't line up with the windoes at all, so you end up staring at taupe plastic where a window should be.

Late to the party, and a little pedantic, but shouldn't it be 94 crystals? 47 on the left, 47 on the right? I was trying to figure out where the odd crystal went.

What you call "ridiculous weather-related traffic laws", I call, in most cases, "policing for profit".

3.5 Liter Ecoboost V6 from the Explorer perhaps...?

Or at least a way to change the speed.

I agree. From the side, the front doesn't match the back. It's like they took the front half of one car and attached it to the back half of a different car.

Yeah, his post reads like a paid endorsement / shill / someone bucking for a job or promotion by parroting the company line.

Come on in... the toxic, carcinogenic dispersant-laced water is fine...!

Is it angry? It looks more sad to me.

Let's see...

Crack pipe.
