I have a 50 mile (100 round trip) commute, and I don’t think I’d have a problem using even the lower rated new Leaf. But then I have house with a driveway and I could charge it every night.

33 year old homeowner here. Never financed or bought a brand new vehicle, and only last year decided to dip my feet into vehicle financing by taking out a personal, 24 month loan to buy a motorcycle I’d been wanting for years. I’ll have that paid off in 14 months, start to finish (it helps that the commute fuel…

Any word on whether motorcycles and scooters will be excluded from the proposed congestion charges?

Suicide doors would have gone a looong way toward making this new car distinct from the MKZ, cosmetically.

So given the choice, this or the Lexus LC500?

Counterpoint: Making your bed is pointless because it’s just going to get messed up again when you get in bed, and it’s a waste of time. I’d rather spend said time accomplishing something useful.

What’s the Best Hand-Me-Down Car?

Without the engine, transmission, or interior in it, that Beetle probably weighs about 600lbs. It’s not like they’re mooring the Titanic.

Cruise ships are not really designed or meant to withstand rough seas like this.

Short of a huge military truck, you won’t find any 6x6 in roadworthy condition at this price point. And this one happens to be a lot more practical than a gigantic deuce and a half or 5-tonner. NP.

Left on red from a one-way to another one-way is legal in Pennsylvania too. I don’t give it a second thought.

Dude drove that glorified go-kart across the country. Twice.

Very weak standing start on the bike’s end. If you’re not picking the front tire up slightly off the ground, you’re not giving it enough beans.

Throw a set of winter tires on, and it’d be a hoot.

My XJ Cherokee from several years back:

Oh I wish I still had my old M10-equipped E30. This would be an excellent way of grenading the gearbox, driveshaft and differential.

I would say Nice Price at $12k, but $18k is a little much. The car is really cool, and if it’s well-sorted and the drivetrain is squared away (no leaks or weird stress points causing routine breakage), I might be convinced that it’s worth 18k.

I’ve had heated seats in my cars for 5 years now, and I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve used them. *shrug*

Oh, a 2lb difference. Your initial reply was not clear on that.

2 lbs??? That seems highly implausible.
