When I was in HS it was all about seeing how many gigantic speakers you could fit in the trunk of your shitbox.

With these cars, you have to keep them absolutely PRISTINE to have even a chance of looking moderately well-off. My favorite example is the 2003-2010 Range Rover. A clean one with original wheels, good paint (no plastidip!), and a quiet, well-functioning drivetrain gives the appearance of having your shit together.…

I bought a 2008 Lexus LS600hL, in 2015, for $17000 and EVERYONE thinks I’m rich. (Not counting the people that think it’s a Camry) I bought a brand new truck in 2013 for more than twice that and nobody blinked an eye.

The only car on this list that has any prayer of making someone think you have money is the Jag XF, since it’s new enough (and similar enough to the newest iteration of the car) that the average person wouldn’t know the difference.

With as retarded of a list of wants as he has, this is the only suitable option.

Sounds like a BMW/MINI past 50,000 miles.

Having worked in and around cars all my life, NONE of this is surprising to me.

Okay, look here; if you’re into the same kind of thing as my ten year old daughter (yes, Pokemon, or however the hell you spell it), that’s your business. Just know that I’m judging you for it.

I’d say it’ll be missed but... not really. But it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of guys, Rutledge in particular. I never felt animosity toward TGUSA, just indifference. Perhaps the experience will lead to bigger, better things and a chance to pursue some passion projects instead of the relentlessly formulaic…

I’ve hated the Prius since the day it first whinged its way onto the roads.

She replaced me and kept the car until someone hit it and totaled it.

My then-wife and I bought a new 1995 Avalon for her use because it had a front bench seat. The thing she liked about it was that the center portion of the front bench folded down to make an arm rest with a place for her coffee cup to fit. (Most cup holders of the day didn’t fit her preferred coffee cups.) We decided…

If I’m ever invited to a summer BBQ by you and he both, I know which one I’m bringing my 6 pack and camera to.

Not really, the motor is worth like $500.

If that was the case, then literally no dangerous thing would ever be for sale ever. No one could sell a motorcycle, a skate board, a BB gun, or even a can of peanuts — Or people can just decide for themselves if any of these things are too dangerous for them to handle, just as an adult should.

Welcome to the free market and capitalism. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. I’m glad that we have choices like this.

I think it was a bad attempt at a joke honestly. Dude isn’t an asshole, he flat out says it isn’t safe and wouldn’t let his kids drive it.

Counterpoint: Dude is being completely upfront about how dangerous it is and trying to cut his losses.

I dunno, I think he’s being perfectly open about it. The asshole thing to do, in my opinion, would be to mention how stable it is and that he just has to sell because he doesn’t have space or something. He’s not forcing anyone to buy it and he’s saying flat-out that he thinks it’s dangerous... but if someone else…

The frustrating thing isn’t that Fast N Loud is crap, it’s that it actually started off as something really watchable, much like most of those automotive shows, but as it gained traction it started to play to a formula. I genuinely enjoyed the first few series were they were working out of a tiny shop and appeared to…
