Are you referring to GAP? That is an essential item. Some states even make it mandatory.

Of course you’re for profit. That’s universal no matter what business it is. But in my experience it can throw some dealers off because they don’t actually expect the customer to know what that is, and some find it insulting which I find kind of a double standard. You want me to pay for bullshit add on’s that are…

Further proof that auto sales is a psychological game of numbers, word play and vagueness. If you see bullshit on the window sticker that adds $1000 to the price of the car like “Finishing Touch”or “Security System” or some kind of warranty, ask what those entail, and if they stumble or talk around it, just hit them…

My Volvo disagrees. 2010 XC60 with 115,000 miles. I spent $2k for the extended warranty (additional 75,000 miles) $17,000 in repairs since I bought it used 40,000 miles ago.

THE JL WRANGLER IS AN ABOMINATION AND NOT AS GOOD AS THE JK WHICH WAS AN ABOMINATION AND WAS NOT AS GOOD AS THE TJ WHICH WAS AN ABOMINATION AND NOT AS GOOD AS THE YJ WHICH WAS JUST WRONG AND NOT AS GOOD AS THE CJ7 WHICH WAS NOT AS GOOD AND HAD BIGGER DOOR OPENINGS THAN THE CJ5 WHICH WAS TERRIBLE AND NOT AS RELIABLE…

possibly some hidden fetish where he likes to eats bugs and rocks at 70 MPH?

and that said, I expect we will hear from some diehard Jeep fans about how this new version is a total abomination because _________.

Soon.

You have a lot of control over your acquaintances. What do you let them touch?

I’m morbidly curious as to what the rejected design looked like.

Where’s the pictures of the scrapped one???

This is excellent progress for GM. If you read Bob Lutz’ book, Old GM used to use focus groups only to validate decisions that had already been made. The focus group results for the Aztek, Ion, and L-Series were universally terrible, but the designs had already been frozen and approved for production before a single…

No way man, get out there and coat that car with a soapy ice sheet, then split your head open falling on ice in 8°f weather. That’s what a true enthusiast would do.

A few years ago I looked at a 91 Cutlass convertible. It was a clean one owner car with all service records and documents. It drove well and the 3.1 had plenty of spunk. But the door mounted belts and Roger Smith era bean counter interior turned me off.

I had a ‘95 Regal GS, black, with the weird little spoiler/faux luggage rack/third brake light mount on the trunk.

Let’s be honest, the vast majority of Regals sold in the mid-80s looked like this. Everyone loves the GN but I think nearly every single one of the 87 GN’s survived which makes people believe they were far more popular than they really were. I remember that it was rare to see a GN back when they were new. It was very…

Reatta of GTFO!

They’re traveling for free on a employee pass... There’s different standards when you get it free from the an employee (which then you do represent the company even if you don’t know it) rather than when you paid for your seat.

Lots of tweets, but pictures would say much more. If their leggings were shear enough to effectively be pantyhose/underwear as opposed to proper clothing, I would side with United. It’s unreasonable to assume that just because one of the passengers was young that her parents had her dressed properly. We really…

I don’t live there so I can’t speak with certainty, but 1.5 million doesn’t buy you an overly lavish place in NYC, right? Hell in my area, average decent homes (suburb style, 75-100 ft lots) are between 200 and 250 per sq ft. If you want a gated community you are looking more at 300-450/sqft
