It says he took it to a drag strip. How to you overrev a modern engine while accelerating?

Meanwhile, Cybertrucks brick from going through a car wash. 😂

I like FIATs.

I mean.... mythbusters has done this years ago...

I took a friend there last year - I have been there on and off (live just “down the hill” in Sacramento. It is the strangest thing to see street signs and names about 18" tall - and to drive behind a taxiing airplane! If this site was more hospitable to posting pictures I would show you a few - including a driveway…

This is what ten years of corporate malfeasance has done to a media company:

Insurance adjuster: 1948? Well at least it’s just an old clunker, we can write…I’m sorry, what’s a mile meeglee?

Can we start calling them External Combustion Engines? 

It most certainly is a hypothetical, until a totaled accident happens. And it doesn’t happen to most drivers. Though that would be cold comfort if you found yourself transitioning from that hypothetical part into the real one.

It required “an integrated vehicle system that uses, at minimum, the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits”. Who maintains that database? Who ensures that cars continue to receive those data? How quickly do they require those data be updated for road work, etc? It was a…

True. That being said, I did a quick estimate of where the median is based on the top selling vehicles in 2023. I think the Median and the mean are pretty close.

The average selling price is $48k. That doesn’t mean the median selling price is $48k. The median is going to be much lower. The average is higher because the high end is stretched out by the expensive cars where sky is the limit.

The Auto Asset Backed Securities Market is currently around $125 billion. The housing backed securities market was like $2 trillion in 2008. So it’s not really comparable. Plus, it’s easier to recover on credit defaults for cars (because repos sell way faster than a foreclosed-upon house), so the risk isn’t the same.…

I agree with both of you, though both of you pointed out the solution for avoiding the consequences of a hypothetical situation.

This matches up with the majority of Americans who are have no financial literacy. And how about the poor decision making of buying a new EV that will lose more than 50% of its value in two years instead of leasing and taking advantage of the tax credits.  Have we learned nothing from the past two decades of poor…

So, uh, ALL DRIVERS? The statement in the article indicates 31% of FINANCED cars. So not counting people who own outright, drivers who drive someone else’s car (children, spouses) nor perhaps leases, fleet cars, etc. Don’t get me wrong I love this site, but his headline is rather misleading.

This is like saying X number of people are losing money on their stock portfolio.

Been using expired canola oil for years as bar & chain oil.

To be fair I am not SUPER in the know with Maserati I think in my brain I though the Ghibli was like a trim level not a separate model. That like Porsche nerds being able to at a glance be like of that’s a 99x.x, like dude they look almost the same to me.

Don’t even think about trying to go for the manual to save a few bucks, as that price has risen as well.
