Happened to me. I had an ‘05 CTS Lux/Sport that was rear ended. The at fault driver’s insurance covered the bill.  A Cadillac dealer north of Boston took care of the repair, about $6k and many weeks, it was not reported by the time I traded it about a year later.

It looks ok on the road. I have seen several in the Boston area lately, including one the other night that was ripping through traffic. Watching it dart in and out raised my interest level. If the single motor version came in the middle at a roughly upper 5 to 6 second 0-60 car, it would be way more compelling,…

At least you have a friend, I will be in the grays forever.

You don’t need a wide open lane in front to justify that type of behavior around here.  As long as you have a few car lengths, it is considered good enough.

The beauty of the big dig was to make really long on/off ramps where cars can get jammed up before impacting the highway. So, in the end it saved a few minutes of traffic per day. While morning commutes are easier for most (not really a problem for me because I am on the road at 5am so I avoid standstill traffic) but…

2021.5 Atlas SEL R-Line and 2021 Sonata N-Line

The taillights look great, nice work.

I see your point but at the current $5/gallon x 120 gallons = $600.

I would guess that part of this is likely lack of incentives paid to dealers to pass onto consumers to move inventory through 2/3 of 2021. No one, except maybe a few folks buying an Golf R, ever paid anywhere close to MSRP on a VW before about June of last year.  For instance, I know on the Atlas we bought, and many…

Usually for airflow to cool brakes if the car is sporty but I am guessing this is mostly just for an aero advantage. Getting more air out of the way of the front end helps with fuel economy and is pretty standard on almost any new car.

Looks like the older X5.  Mazda has always been trying to be BMW on a budget and now the style is matching.

Did the same. Financing through the dealer, actually manufacturer, was simple and fast. Swapped the loan out before I even got the welcome packet 2 weeks later. Qualified for incentives, was out of the dealership faster. The refi cost me $65-70 but otherwise well worth it since I would have been leaving $500 bonus…

Back even a year ago it was easy enough to either search and find or just wait a few weeks at most for the combination you wanted to show up locally, at least if you are in a relatively large market.  Just because people buy off the lot doesn’t mean that they didn’t get exactly what they wanted. 

You act as if Biden didn’t run on raising gas prices to bolster the renewables sector. His first action in office was to kill a pipeline. That alone didn’t trigger this, but the sentiment that he and Psaki spew out daily about how bad oil is does not give oil companies a reason to think this administration was going…

Ukraine is not the only reason despite what the news is telling you. The average fuel cost has been rising steadily for 18 months. Sure, the spike at the end can be attributed to mostly the horrible attack on Ukraine but it also coincides with increased consumption as more folks are back out and commuting, you can…

There are a bunch of companies who are just now making folks get back in the office. Think of the larger cities, most were empty and still generally empty vs two years ago. Boston traffic has sucked for the PM commute, pretty much 1-2 months after the lockdowns started and has steadily increased, all without 60-70% of…

Agreed. Boston dropped rules Saturday and when I dined out in the city it was like the old days. Some folks were wearing masks, doesn’t bother me. Was out in January and February in other parts of the city and never was hassled about masks (the hosts knew it was stupid to have to wear a mask just to walk to the table),…

I don’t get this narrative that the GOP is cheering on Russia that you and others are trying to push. Are there a few wackos on the fringe that think that way, yes, and there are also some left leaning wackos doing the same. I think most Americans (left and right), at least those who care, understand that Ukraine…

And they exist in the comment section.

Count me as having decent sales/service at Hyundai dealers. Except the one time I tried to buy my current N Line. The internet price was great, agreed to online and over the phone as being legit, confirmed in person the next day and then the next day I was to head back to finalize the deal, the deal was off. After…
