Please provide me with the link to where you found Mercedes’ lease/condo association agreement. Because without knowing what stipulations she agreed to and the pretenses under which the cars were towed, you can’t claim they did anything “blatantly illegal.”

Gotcha. I still stand by my assessment that, while the cars may not break any rules by their mere existence, I can understand why the association might find them undesirable based on condition. And if that’s the case, they’ll pounce on any excuse to rid themselves of something they want off their property. That’s…

I know the SBC is plentiful and affordable, but there’s got to be some decent Ford motors you could put in that Falcon instead of planning an LS swap. With all the Cars and Coffee mishaps, there’s got to be a couple dozen wrecked mustangs in the junkyards of any metro area just waiting to give up their V8s for a…

“See that red pass, there? How could you miss it!”

I used to get it during football season when I drove a lot more. Only easy way to listen to out of market games, and there were a few sports shows I liked to listen to. But now I work from home and the good talking heads have all switched platforms, so it’s pretty useless.

That would have been when networks transitioned from analog to digital. You still had 2g (voice, sms, edge data) service well into the 2010s.

Does it? I feel like the vast majority of people out there are in the same boat as I am. I really couldn’t give a shit less how easily serviceable my car is IF I really knew that it wasn’t going to have some catastrophic failure that puts me in the poor house.

Came here to say the same thing. The numbers are what they are, but I see these all over the place where I live. It’s the cheapest way to get a new car with the Jeep badge on it, which an awful lot of people inexplicably seem to think is worth something.

I may be in the minority in saying that I don’t hate the combo as much as I thought I would. It’s a big square grille where a different big square grille used to be. I actually think the interior looks more out of place, especially the door cards.

Sure, it may only take a couple of minutes for the engine to warm up enough to drive without risking damage, but that doesn’t mean the interior is warm enough to be comfortable. And when it’s 15 below, I don’t really feel like scraping ice off the windows.

The point was that regular trips to the car wash in a decent car would preclude make the Valiant irrelevant. You really don’t need a winter beater if you just start with a decent car and take care of it.

I too am uninterested in owning a Rolls-Royce. Yes, that’s why I don’t have one.

Does it really matter if it’s popular if it looks great? That’s a bit like saying you wouldn’t go on a date with Jennifer Lawrence because there are a lot of blonde women out there.

Came here to say something similar. As nice as their red is, I honestly don't know why they even offer other colors. Anyone that gets a non-red Mazda these days is a chump. 

I’m not sure where you live, but heated seats are a godsend to me here in Wisconsin. When it gets really cold here, it can take quite a while for a car to warm up the cabin, especially if you have to melt ice on the windshield. If I don’t want to run my car for 45 minutes, the seats are great because they heat up…

I will wholeheartedly agree that I would rather work on the Plymouth. But I would MUCH rather just not work on a car, and I feel like the Lexus is going to have fewer things that need to be fixed during the winter. I’m pretty sure it’s the only car you’ve bought that I haven’t seen an article about you fixing in like…

That you live your life like a homeless man, despite being decidedly not homeless?

This is a really important question. Because the Ram 2500 he has isn’t exactly cut out for the same things as the Bronco he has reserved. Does he need something to tow a camper or a boat, haul a couple of dirt bikes, haul a bunch of camping gear? Does it need to tackle tough off-road trails or just get you to the…

Yeah, because there's no domino effect when one of the busiest global trade routes gets blocked for a week. 

If you have all of those things that you rely on that require power, you really should invest in a generator if you own your home. Otherwise, there are massive backup batteries you can buy that can run a fridge for days.
