Will the market absorb it, though? I really feel auto manufacturers should be producing plug-in hybrids for the current U.S. market, if not exclusively, then at least as an option for consumers who aren’t ready to go full-electric just yet. One day there will be EV charging stations at every Cracker Barrell restaurant…

I guessed Texas. Surprised the other isn’t Florida, though.

The Accord is a salvage title, so you’re taking a huge gamble. If you’re buying a new Nissan Versa, you’re probably doing so to get a reliable car with a warranty. You’re not the target audience for a salvage title car. As for the Kia K900 it’s got a combined MPG of 18 versus the Versa’s 35 combined. This isn’t really…

This dealer is about to find out how difficult it is to sell a manual, non-enthusiast economy car. When my daughter went off to college a couple of years ago I tried selling her manual 2016 Nissan Versa. It was the car everyone was looking for: a late model, reliable, Japanese car for under $10,000. But it was a…

I think it was David Brooks trying to argue that inflation was out of hand because of an expensive meal at the airport... the meal consisted, if I recall, mostly of a couple shots of premium liquor and a burger. Anyway, the price you pay at the airport really isn’t a valid metric for gauging inflation. That’s why…

What is the reason for these sky-high prices, I hear you ask? Well, it turns out it’s because most airports use something called “street pricing plus.” This means that the price of a bag of Chex Mix in a airport is tied to its price in the real world, but it is hiked up by a percent to “account for the added costs of…

Yeah, I can’t imagine you could get a plane off the ground and land it like that without some flight school under your belt.

They go for that much because people will pay that much.

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I think people in this thread are just upset that Supra prices are where they are and taking it out on this one. I mean, this car does not need a “full interior.” It needs new leather. Most everything else inside that car just needs a nice cleaning. Those carpets are perfectly…

I did kind’a gloss over the mileage, which is pretty crazy at 388K. But you look at the pictures on Bring a Trailer: the only obvious rust spot is the one in the pictures. Yeah, it looks pretty ugly to fix, but it could well be the only one, since there’s a good explanation for why it happened there and not elsewhere.…

Got a feeling there’ll be a YouTube series soon featuring this car, so we’ll probably find out. 

This does seem pretty crack pipe, but let’s do the math: this is a manual Supra Turbo. In nice shape it’s a $90,000 to $100,000 car. Why? I don’t know. I really don’t know. But it is, so deal with it. So the question is: how much will it cost to make this a $90,000 car? I’m guessing that $20k would put this car well…

Spicoli is the correct answer here.

The trick is to not buy the first year of any car. Wait ‘till the car’s been out a few years and the kinks ironed out. 

“I travelled to Texas to stop the migrant invasion and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.”

I think that Toyota is exactly where America is right now with the Prius Prime, the Rav 4 Prime and whatever other plug-in hybrids they offer. The car is electric until you need it for a long trip and then its a gas powered car.

I was lucky enough to see the Warhol M-1 when I paid a visit to the fairly new BMW plant in Spartanburg, SC many years ago. I believe they had the Lichtenstein car on display as well. I’d never heard of BMW’s art cars, and had no idea I was witnessing something so iconic. It’s odd, to say the least, that I, a lover of…

I honestly think that for a great deal of America, the “extended range electric” is the most realistic approach to electrification. It really bums me out at Chevrolet discontinued the Volt, because this was a real trailblazer when it came to the whole “plug-in-hybrid/extended-range-electric.” I see GM killing it off…

WASHINGTON—A motley crew of AM radio advocates, including conservative talk show hosts like Hugh Hewitt and federal emergency officials, are lobbying Congress to stop carmakers from dropping the old medium from new vehicles.

They also tried to charge a $2000 “reconditioning” charge on a car with *28* miles on it.
