Texas Democrat here. The problem is, you give Ted Cruz a call and the moment they detect even a hint of blue in you they polity disconnect your call...

Already exists. It’s the Sport Line model with low spoiler, higher profile tires and more sound insulation.

Meanwhile, BMW has Apple CarPlay as a subscription while everyone else offers it for free.

Having the audacity to live in a rural area and have a job? Oh the horror... 

My commute at 35mph would have been an absolute nightmare at my previous residence. Nothing like getting up for work 3 hours earlier to piss everyone off who has a standard license as they stay behind me for my commute that takes up nearly as much of my day to and from as my work shift.

Having been poor for a good long while in my younger years i feel qualified to answer: I had been driving used POS since the day i graduated high school and never having grown up around anyone who knew anything about wrenching and always working tons of hours just to have a place to live i never had any opportunity to…

New cars are often easier to get than used cars... when my old Hyundai was dying I desperately needed a car so my girlfriend and I could get to our jobs (we carpooled at the time). Used car dealers didn’t want to deal with us due to our nonexistent credit and lack of down payment money, but Hyundai happily put us in a…

But why does the consumer need to bear the brunt of that?  The middle class is already getting squeezed with excessive health care costs, stagnant wages, and increased education costs.  All so some investors can make a ton of money doing nothing and executives can make increasingly larger bonuses for running companies…

For me it’s a way to always have a daily driver that is under warranty with the knowledge that if there is ever an issue with the car, the dealer will have to handle it. In addition, the way regulations are set up in my country, you can only borrow N times your yearly income, which a car loan counts towards, but a…

Think about it: he was a worldwide celebrity. Well known for being the best at what he did.

Screen name checks out. ;)

“The priciest dish on the menu is almost always no more difficult for your server to bring out than the cheapest.”

...a perfect example of why tipping based on a percentage of the item / bill is stupid (as was Salty’s advice in that instance).

Computer, enhance

It is a not a matter of money, it is more what is available that works for me. In addition I like some options on the car. If I had the option, a manual would be a deciding factor. Since the cars that fit my needs do not have the option - oh well.

Those visuals just jump off the page at you.... I can clearly picture him wearing some sort of Thunderdome style poncho with that damn “Jeep” Hubcap on his head - with leather chinstrap.

The Blazer is not for you, and it was selling just fine before the ‘rona. At some point Jalops need to realize that 98% of the new car market isn’t us and so 100% of the cars are not for us.

Customers care about styling and tech and USB ports and fuel economy; they say it in the market research, they say it in the…

You drive a Hyundai Ioniq and you think the CTS-V wagon isn’t cool?

The problem with the Aztek defense is that everything good about it could be had in the forgotten Buick Rendezvous, which also looked substantially better - even if it looked a lot like a shoe. The Aztek was an early CUV, and probably could have been decent if they didn’t fuck up the design, but don’t let them off the…

As much as I love the Bronco, the Blazer is almost certainly going to sell more and be more profitable.
