I stopped cleaning cars before I list them for sale.

Why? because I was sick of stupid people nickle and diming me over crap. Its a 10 year old car with 130,000 miles on it and so many people are like, “there’s a scratch here on the door” or “i see a touch of rust on the undercarriage”.

I get that you might care as a…

My brother swears by his sequoia actually!

If I buy like an expedition, I might as well have a truck!

It is a real SUV. We camp about 20-24 weeks/yr typically in the travel trailer.

I know, those pesky logic traps!

Porsche Cayenne, 7200-7500 depending on how its loaded. Trailer cap is 7700 lbs for the SUV.

Porsche Cayenne.

We like it as long as there isn’t 7200-7500 lbs behind it. It actually accelerates and brakes fine, but despite being within tongue weight specs, the front end wanders too much for my comfort even with a weight distributing hitch, and hitting bumps causes traction concerns. Throw in some wind and I’m…

I’m going to join your club! haha.

the Porsche Cayenne is awesome on paper!

I want to agree, but I drank this cool-aid. I sold our truck and bought a sedan. Last weekend, we loaded up my travel trailer on the back of our SUV, and our SUV Said “F-You Jerk. I may have a tow rating that can handle this thing but I can’t because I’m a diva”.

Needless to say I’m going back to a truck.

I wonder why students are so stupid to take ‘em!

everyone keeps talking about “downshifting”. Until I bought my Ram, none of my old trucks could “downshift”

I haul race trailers with an F350, but I used to run a Chevy Avalanche. I loved that avalanche, but it would get brake fade.

I answered my own question. Canada is not getting ANY sticks.

I do agree with stupid OEM logic “put stick on the base car. No one bought it”. I would have bought a stick mazda 6 but they only put it on the base, so I bought a different car!

I use it. Midgrade is so much cheaper than premium, that I find it a fair trade off. 20 cents more than 87 octane, but 60 cents cheaper than premium at the shell station by my house. My car is supposed to use 91 octane... so... well..

What about in Canada?

Canada had a manual GT last year...

Like motorcycles have today! Makes sense.

True it is. I’ve owned quite a few cars which say “93 octane recommended. minimum 87 octane, power restricted.

I’ve heard many of these, but I still think some are true.. can someone explain why they arent?

Brake N Coast (Enginerrrrrrrrr)
-I too have been taught this- that if you hold the brake down going down large grades you’ll boil the brake fluid, and instead its better to to do fewer more drastic brakes. I mean I guess…

I’m confused by this statement. the “percent financing” has never played into financing rate. the $10k piece does seem accurate... so if your buying a $50,000 car and you finance $25,000, or you buy a $30,000 car and you finance $25,000, rates are typically the same unless you use an OEM incentive rate, in which case…

I pay 100% cash for all my cars despite not breaking 55k/year. The trick is to prepay (IE right now I make “payments” for the car I’m going to buy in a couple of years). Therefore you earn interest on the money you are saving instead of PAYING interest to someone else. You end up paying way way less for the cars.

Scena…
