Offroad trims take a penalty from other configurations on the vehicle. We also have different (higher) standards, drive more miles and have overall higher speed limits. I’ve seen a Lada packed with a tonne of mandarins, just because it’s possible doesn’t mean you should do it on American highways. 

Yea, this has to be one of the most useless, misinformation, narrow minded articles I’ve read so far. Utter garbage really. Is this what passes for journalism these days?

The point of the Tundra is that it is a thinking man’s full-size truck, or the opposite of a Ram 1500.

NTSB has no regulatory authority by design, AFAIK. That means they also cannot be usefully lobbied as they can neither impose nor withhold regulations and they should be as unbiased in their analysis as possible. However, no one is completely unbiased - but at least this makes them less likely to be bought. Their…

NHTSA is the agency that regulates safety features, not sure their level of involvement at this point, or their exact relationship to NTSB.

Hard to write nines when they look like little shrimps!

While the MKI cars were once derided for being the chosen rides of sorority sisters and Mean Girls wannabes, the MKIII Cabrios never seemed to be tarred with the same stigma.

Exactly. And a GTI (engine) at 90k is still old for a VW. Just do not trust them when they’re aged.

I dated a girl that was pretty high up at NPR - I can tell you first hand they are some of the most intolerable biased bunch of people I’d ever met. Things started out okay - me being a libertarian and her being a liberal, but she absolutely couldn’t tolerate my stance on freedom of speech. Ironic with them being a…

The dealers in the UK are still middlemen. And note that the make-owned dealers are generally no cheaper to buy from, even if they are “well run”. Because why would they be?

there’s some report floating around Deerborn [sic] that shows that Ford ends up making more money w/o a dealer network, but it’s too expensive to get the network replaced quickly state franchising laws prohibit them from selling directly.

If you are too lazy to drive an hour to save thousands of dollars plus interest, you deserve to get screwed.

It’s generally good advice. But take it with context. If you refuse to talk to the cop when you get pulled over for a routine speeding traffic violation, the ticket is going to be worse. If you are a jerk when you meet a cop on the street, well, you’re just being a jerk, probably no consequences.

I think you tried a little too hard on this one.

The talking without a lawyer isn’t a bad sign. That’s smart.

Yes, it is terrible when people have the nerve to exercise their Constitutional rights and it clearly means they are guilty rather than following their attorney’s advice.

Not my jam, but $10K isn’t unreasonable for an ‘87 Mustang. NP.
