Westlake Tires = Instant CP, as it shows that if the owner was that cheap on something that critical, they probably cheaped out everywhere else.

The R was always blessed with good transmissions, before the ZF 6HP it had a Mercedes 5-speed, unlike the troublesome ZF 5HP in the older non-R.

Just smells to me like something a shitty YouTuber with no integrity would cook up for more exposure. Maybe he’s like the car guy version of that couple who “rehomed” their adopted child in recent news.

This is the quality journalism I’ve come to expect from Jalopnik.

You probably should have filed this one to the Hot Takes Department, Justin.

You have to REALLY dislike a car to sell it just 2 years after you bought it brand new. The depreciation hit is going to sting.

In a way, aren't we all talking about poop?

Haha, it looks exactly like the boxes my Harbor Freight junk comes in. How is even the cardboard from China cheaper and worse??

LOL!

Kia Soul new or lightly used is a great car. My kid has had one for 4 years with zero problems.

She will get past this. In a week or two, her gofundme will be at $200,000 KKK money despite her previous Barack Obama affiliations. Because she totally, secretly voted Trump.

It’s almost like the skills that make you a good driver, athlete, soldier, et cetera, aren’t the same skills that make you good at playing video games where you pretend to do those things! Who knew?

Getting the motor assembled and back in the Alfa spider. It’s been down for an embarrassing two years due to the birth of a child and a house move/renovation, but things are finally starting to progress. Target is beginning of June for motor in and running and driving in July.

I think I’ve talked myself into trying to do my Z’s timing belt, but every time I research it, I get intimidated at the long list of stuff I’m supposed to buy (based on the “while you’re in there, you might as well...” forum advice.)

pulled the engine from my donor car

Nope, fuck your slideshow. Did not read.

Are you from Austin?

In case there’s any confusion: there are no bodies visibly left on or around Titanic. There are suggestions via pairs of shoes or bits of leather clothing placed in a particular way, but no bones, skulls, flesh, etc. When they say “remains of 1500 bodies” they mean that it’s a graveyard absent of those bodies.

The conversation between host and guest was usually decent, occasionally quite good, but it was the cars that were truly transcendent.

It’ll all depend on how the lease deals look comparatively, no one actually buys mid range luxury cars now. I would expect depreciation to be worse than even a 5 series/A6/etc, time will tell though.
