While we’re on the subject, see also: Helmet/seatbelt laws. Someone has to scrape up your gray matter and pay the extra insurance costs when you do a freedom dive into the pavement.

Went to high-school in NM during the low-rider years. This looks like something you could realistically expect to see cruise through Sonic on Friday night.

People can’t buy enormous SUVs if they don’t have jobs.

Why would they? This isn’t anticipated by Jalops at all. We're all waiting for the Bronco - proper. 

It was booming. And they focused everything on the short-term profit. 

Harley COO also just “resigned, or was fired, or something”.

The Lawyers will benefit. That’s about all I got.

$10 isn’t much of a trade-in

Veloster N was my first thought. I test drove one recently. I’m only 5'10, but the seat was set for someone a whole lot bigger when I got in. Also, with the asymmetrical doors, any third occupant you may have can only get in on the passenger side (where the giant is not in residence), but you still have access to it…

Ford execs deferring salary until debt is paid, so they can increase future stock payments.... and then still pull in the salary on the back end. They’re just maximizing personal profit, sacrificing nothing. How very noble.

Good to see Harley underrated range. It’s a 120 mile round trip to the nearest L3 charger in my area. So that’ll need to improve. 

Note on the APR question. Going through a credit union can potentially be a different experience. I’ve financed several (used) cars through the same CU, and they now give me an un-advertised rate because of my history and credit score.

I see Raphael has a second account

Honestly, it was more of a joy ride than a test drive. I just wanted to get behind the wheel of one after all of the praise it’s gotten. It’s a lot of fun, that’s about all I was looking for at the time. It does beg to be played with. After a hard pull, you get the *pop-crackle-pop* that translates from vehicle-ese…

That has historically been Hyundai’s problem (coming from a former Tiburon and Genesis Coupe owner). Though, I’ve test driven the Veloster N, and that stick is great.

There are currently 1,001 Jalops that need a wellness check. They’ve been secluded for too long and are developing cabin fever.

I hope the new Bronco is everything it should be with a decent price and high volume. If only to bring Jeep values down to Earth a bit. Every one I see is priced ridiculously.... and they apparently keep selling.

We just have to ride this situation out.

In my area, anything AWD/4wd is $2500 and up. And those are usually fright-pigs. Something like this in pretty decent shape with under 150k is easy NP.

$124,995
