Do good looking, quality aftermarket head and tail lights exist? Any time I see them, it looks like someone went to Pep Boys and bought the cheapest looking POS with “bright white” or some blu-ish tint/fake xenon lights in it. I’m sure Amazon is full of examples that shouldn’t legitimately pass a safety inspection if

Look at enough real estate listings and you’ll wonder why anyone bothers to walk through some of these houses the way they are presented with photos. Poorly lit rooms, questionable angles and focus points. See $1M homes in my area with listing photos that look like they were taken by an 8 year old with an iPhone 4.

The 1990 Chevy 454 SS with its 230 hp gets the same treatment.  Owners of the GMT900 Silverado SS with 345 hp also seem to think they have a future legend on their hands.

I figured, but isn’t this whole “gig” thing supposed to mean that you’re a “free agent” basically who goes where the money is and can go back to being treated like dirt by Uber and passengers when ever you want (or have a lack of choices)?  Who wouldn’t rather ferry around boxes than people?

I noticed a Chevy Equinox pull up in front of my house yesterday, and a guy hopped out with a yellow UPS vest on. He delivered a package to my house.

My local cars.com search shows several within a couple hours of me, mostly turbos though. Only a handful of hybrids. Not sure what kind of ripoff deal these dealers would be trying to pull. Probably trying to get F-150 Lariat money for a base Maverick hybrid.

Should have called it the Model E.  Model T revolutionized cars.  Model E is doing it again for electric.  Easy marketing.  And it isn’t limited to black paint this time.

I mean it seems like Infiniti quickly became irrelevant after that change.

Who sells an Aston Martin exclusively on Craigslist?  I don’t see it listed anywhere else.  Plus it seems too cheap.  Has to be a scam. 

Falls Church isn’t a cheap area. The homes might not look like much, but the average home price is $700k. 15 minutes or so north is McLean where the 0.0001% live in mansions. 15 minutes west is Tysons Corner where there is a Bentley/Aston/Koenigsegg dealer among the other usual luxury brands.

Yeah, it is neat that it exists, but who wants it? Who other than Toyota would have a museum for a base model pickup truck from 1993?

I cannot fathom having such a lack of self-preservation instinct to do something like this. Even if my future car has real “self driving”, I see myself sitting there with my hands hovering over the wheel and foot over the brake for a year or so before I trust it enough to relax and enjoy the ride.

Welp, guess I can cross this one off my list of possible PHEV options. The RAV4 Prime isn’t a prize either, but that R8 strip thing is...not for me.

Yes, surprised they didn’t work that surfing banana guy on the exterior somehow.

Might even be cooler than 2 Wycked

My understanding is that any limited edition Ferrari basically gets sold to a club of very wealthy people with multiple Ferraris who get first dibs.

I guess if you want to spend $9k on a conversation piece. What is an imported Japanese hearse worth? Who actually wants one besides a mortician catering to Japanese-Americans who want this kind of funeral service?  Why isn’t the suspension beefed up?

At least for my zip code, Toyota’s website won’t even let me build one. I click “Build” and it just brings me to a page saying “Availability of RAV4 Prime is currently extremely limited in your area. Click below to contact a dealer or explore RAV4 Hybrid”

And I doubt it includes a paint correction before applying the coating, so why even bother?

Meant to say Plymouth Valiant, based on a writer here who chose that for winter driving over the fleet of Jeeps he has.
