I have as much guilt as the next guy about the times when I come up short as a dad: you lose your temper over some bullshit a little too easily, you get stuck late at work and miss a big game, you prioritize a night out with the wife over a night home with the boys, etc. But there is nothing - and I mean this…

CarMax is running a business, and doing a great job of it. They are capitalizing on the buyer’s fears - that they are going to buy a clunker, with no warranty, and pay too much. Also, people are afraid to be a terrible negotiator. People know from anecdotal lore (usually their parent’s experiences/gripes) that…

Checks all YOUR boxes.

Turbo Caravan is your next ride:

So was fission, and knives for that matter

Take your Ayn Rand bullshit and shove it up your condescending ass. My god, man. I feel what the OP was saying. When I was in high school, I KNEW of kids who, for instance, drove Suburbans with lift kits and other mods, who clearly did not work a fucking job, aside from possibly some menial bullshit work their father…

The current Mustangs, while not supercar fast in terms of track speed, are definitely “supercar” fast in a straight line. The new Mustang GT will run 11's with a decent driver. That was supercar territory even 6 or 7 years ago, and isn’t far off of a car like a 911 GT3.

It sounds like you are the one making assumptions. Some people don’t do a job because of the money, they do it because they see it as a chance to make a meaningful contribution to society. Sometimes that means making less money than they would earn otherwise. It would not be unusual for them to experience the…

Mitsubishi makes good cars. It’s just some people across the pacific seems to be more appreciative to numbers (horsepowers and such), chrome bits, and faux-opulence (interior quality blah blah) than good ol’ reliable, wrenchable, fuel-efficient cars.

We bought our off-lease 2013 Fiat 500e after reading an article about how they could be had for $5K. Since then, we’ve reduced our gasoline demand by 1,000 gallons and diesel demand by 200 gallons last year. The added perk was riding in the HOV lane and Fastrak lane on the 110fwy for my wife, when she worked in…

This kind of comparison is really fucking moronic sexist garbage, and you should really reconsider.

Yet the 4th gen was the best Eclipse ever offered:

Ditto.

Now, a gallon of gasoline cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you’d say.

I remember when these tubes were laid out at gas stations; a little bell would ring, alerting the attendant who filled your tank, checked the air in your tires, checked your oil and washed your windshield.

The Raptor snuck up on you

I’d allow the Ford Taurus onto that list.

Hahaha, you must not live somewhere with lots of people and shit air quality. You also must not have ever had to console a grieving friend because their love one died in an accident. What about our regulations is bull shit? Back up cameras? Okay, yeah maybe, but they are cheap enough now that its not a big deal.…

Let us trudge dutifully forth into the great grey unknown future, fellow Jalopniks.
