Probably could have been more clear, but I meant how many people actually carry a car payment in perpetuity. I know plenty of people who have financed cars at a variety of income levels, but none of them immediately go out and finance another car as soon as theirs is paid off.

Buy a really nice example 1st gen Toyota Sequoia for $10k and use the $35k for gas for the next forever years. 

When I dream, I dream small. Being overly pragmatic I really don’t like showy cars that make some kind of statement about me. Even if I had the full $100k, I would keep it simple with a Toyota one-two: a GR86 for the weekends and a Prius for, well, everything else. Is there a sportier and more luxurious option I could…

Sad that this 20 year old model of a long discontinued car is far more appealing than anything Infiniti sells now. They used to be interesting, but boy, that hasn’t been true in a long while. 

I always liked the Q more than the LS when they both debuted.  

The pinnacle of all cupholder achievement was Chrysler’s NS minivans, with ratcheting adjustment, and it’s all been downhill from there.

Can we also re-mention how stupid it is to call an EV a “Turbo” model?

This is just sad and more than a little pathetic. Another poster made a similar comparison already, but it’s like trying to exchange beets for the corned beef in a ruben.

Agreed. The use of mostly Aluminum and magnesium and the groundbreaking way they assembled the car. Yes, it did n0t have a v8 and certainly the 4.7 at the time would have done little to increase performance. The later years had the increased HP and the car performed just fine in both acceleration and handling...…

The Plymouth Prowler:

Weird article. Having said that, at least in the southeast, how is the 4Runner not mentioned? There is not a single 4Runner, or just about every Toyota, that does not have some insanely overpriced dealer added junk to the sticker.

I’ve harped on the issue before, and how people are so blithely unconcerned about the sheer weight of EVs crunching asphalt and buckling bridges. You think America’s roads and highways are crap now? Wait’ll the cumulative effects of EVs pounding them takes hold.

Combined with this from a different article:

Dodge Copperhead, but no Demon?

The Dodge Copperhead: The baby Viper

The infamous timing set from the Audi 4.2 V8....why?

I worked with a lady once who worked on the original Ford Escape and then the original Ford Escape Hybrid. She said what they did to the Escape in order to cram in the hybrid parts made her upset enough that she left for to work on military vehicles.

A CPO 2022 Aviator would check many boxes for that price. Powerful, comfortable, excellent ride and unique in that you won’t see a ton of these on the road.

Telluride’s are popular for a reason but the new Pilots look sharp in the new blue
