Completely agree. Spend $1k more get a Corolla, spend $2k more get a Hybrid one. Spend $1-2k more get a CorollaCross. Spend $2k more get a Camry, spend $1k more get a Rav4... Next you know, you just signed up for a Land Cruiser.

I don’t know.  Corollas hold value really well.  If you are talking saving a say $1-2k but getting a vehicle with say 20-30k miles, I would bite the bullet and get new.

If you have the money to buy this and you want one so badly, keep saving your pennies until you can buy one that’s less of a crapshoot. ND.

Age + Miles + Sketchy Title + Price =  NFD

Easy ND, can find newer, cheaper NSX’s with fewer miles, and that’s before the title issues. Everything about this car stinks.

ND on the title issues. You don’t want to come home and find the police have the car. CP on the miles. 

I don’t know about that. If somebody was stretching their budget from a Versa to the extra grand for a Corolla, I wouldn’t blame them one bit for buying that base model. In that case, it’s a very reasonable decision. 

Man the design of the Mazda 3 still looks good, and will continue to look good for another 5 years with minimal external changes. If only they would get out of their own ass and make a speed 3 already. 

Honestly, almost any of these are perfectly adequate for the needs of the average person.

My BRZ has a pretty silly startup sequence thanks to my tune. The ECUTEK tune adds four switchable maps to the car, and I really didn’t need more than one, so I asked for a valet tune as the second one, and an anti-theft tune as the third. So if I’m parking my car for an extended period, or somewhere sketchy, I leave…

Kit cars are too much of a gamble without knowing the capabilities of the builder, and even then are only worth the cost of of good version of the base car at most. ND.

When it isn’t your peoples slaughtered, your cities remain unrazed, and your economy is the one flushed with cash by the conflict, it is easier to be sanguine perhaps.

I’ve said this from the beginning. Electing Trump and by proxy Elon, is the result of Americans getting a little too comfortable with our own privilege. Our hubris that we will never be dethroned as the leaders of the “free” world and that the way of life in America is a permanent “assumed” state is how we got here. …

Tesla has defied expectations for a long time.

Oh it’ll matter.

This is going to put Norway in a bind...

Most Americans who feel that way have never known enough hardship to fill a postcard; privilege has its downside.

Unfortunately a lot of Americans don’t seem to mind it.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, but a bankrupt Nazi is a good start.

World War Two still casts a long shadow,” Kraaijvanger told Wired.
