The Optima is already showing up with the usual Altima crowd. Not as beat up as an ‘07 2.5S (either weaving in and out of traffic or going well under the speed limit) but you’re right just give it time.

Nissan’s success in NA stems from undercutting Honda and Toyota prices and offer financing where the other two simply don’t need to. They do all of this selling an inferior product with aggressive advertising, like the terrible Star Wars promotion.

It doesn’t help that the any Wrangler variants are more easily subject to dealer mods than anything else. It perhaps speaks more about the idiot non-car fans willing to pay for one of these “things” than it really does the dealer.

“I hope.... America’s 911"

That’s...actually quite fascinating. Good to hear. I trust your observations so that helps.

I can only assume “more types of people” is just white hipsters in our age group that are not car people. Oh yeah, but have money.

Pensions are under attack everywhere in every sector, and healthcare is such a variable that only God knows what it will be like in a few years. Not a joke.

I was in middle school in ‘95 and remember the TG16 going down to $99 bucks. By that year I was already planning my next Toys R Us gift certificate-holder purchase...a PlayStation by January ‘96.

The guy is a Vietnam vet for fucks sake. That letter showed growth, and if that's not enough, try having kids...as much as it sucks during the age of Cheetolini.

You make it sound like you missed out in part due to tuners. You should thank them instead.

If he had moved up from the Neon (it’s a fuckin Neon) to the GT-R, that’s not such a bad thought, but I don’t see Dodge back then (or now) willing to use a new product as a hero car on screen, then to be replaced by something much grander.

I had a supervisor that owned multiple SRT-4 over a period of time and complained about them as though he hated them, but I guess not enough to keep from owning 3 different ones. Yes, fast and agile piece of crap it was.

Stop being such a mouthpiece for your favorite team, please.

996 Cup OMG I bet it sounds fantastic!

Mopar fans are probably the most triggered when it comes to defending ownership of below-mediocre products. That is an asshole thing to say (I should not say “triggered”), but Jiminy Christmas you guys must have gotten a collective stiffy from news of the Charger widebody...while everyone else laughs.

Private/boutique sale to the right person, yes. If the owner doesn’t want to wait and tries to sell/trade it in at a normal Porsche dealership, nope.

Are you going to some sort of early-bird or cheap theater? Ticket prices have been in the double digits for 10-15 years.

The race is very much a German thing, so a lot of news doesn’t get translated and thus not appearing on English Google. Photography seems to fall victim to this as well.

Dammit man I need this in HQ wallpaper format!

I’m 36 and fortunately I can go to the VA for my psychological needs...but son of a bitch you sound just like me now.
