Lukewarm price with those miles. Maybe $14500 is where it should be.

150,000 miles. $17.5k. For a fifteen year old worst-version of the WRX. It has 150,000 miles. For $17.5k. I just…too stunned to speak.

Who are these people with “more energy” earlier in the day?

Anxiously waiting for the head to head with the Outback, especially in turbo-on-turbo action in the dirt and mud.

Knowing that the base Stelvio is RWD has suddenly made them a contender in my new car search. 

For such a small city, DC is a bitch to walk through. Crossing a traffic circle is like playing Frogger. This sounds like a great idea and honestly is better for security, too.

So you’re comparing a top option new model against the base of a slightly sportier model that’s essentially unchanged since the dinosaurs roamed the earth?

I imagine the Tesla brainstorming sessions are just a bunch of video game bros throwing out ideas to make the cars like what they drive in Halo. 

I can confirm that as a current GEICO customer, I recently priced around and a handful of other insurance companies were a bit cheaper for auto. I have a few other policies all together, so I didn’t switch because their Homeowners was still less expensive by a considerable margin (although my rate increased

I’m of the mindset that: I’ve kicked myself too many times not investing in something years ago that was risky, which then took off and would have made me rich. Crypto is a speculative asset and possibly will go to $0, but putting in some extra cash here and there is worth the risk (to me). It also gets reported on a

Anyone in the biz - are parts harder to get / seen huge inflationary cost increases just like everything else? I haven’t been to my mechanic in a bit, so are hourly labor rates increasing? Just wondering how badly screwed people are, overall. 

I audibly gasped at the price. Not that long ago I was in the market for a MR2 Spyder but couldn’t force myself to pull the trigger…when a decent one was about $8k. They’re awesome cars but there’s better options in the preowned convertible market for $15k.  I hope. 

My major knock on the Bronco Sport isn’t the lack of a hybrid (but really, there should be) but that the 2.0 turbo is only available in the top trim Badlands. I want a cushy Outer Banks Bronco Sport with the more powerful engine, please. 

Right now I have an aging sedan. I live by myself and having a sedan is…annoying often enough that I won’t do it again. The only two new (that is, not preowned) cars I’d consider would be an Outback XT or the Maverick.  Nothing else comes close when features / price really gets scrutinized. 

You’re not wrong, although the Forester and Outback are more RAV4 sized. And a bit cheaper. And a bit nicer. I’ve done some pretty serious rocky off-roading in NM in a stock Forester, so it’s more about knowing how to drive than the car itself. Agree though in general, people give the ads too much credit. 

Man, if I could get a Crosstrek with the turbo engine, that baby would be in my driveway right this minute. 

That’s just, like, your opinion man. Here in crunchy older white-person suburbia, it seems like a quarter of the cars are Outbacks or Foresters. Anyone who doesn’t want to seem ostentatious or only has one kid gets an Outback. 

This is a perfect example of a car that I’d love to have as a project but only if it’s practically free. Taken in a vacuum, I really like the looks of the Ghia and think the interior isn’t that bad. Would love to tear out all of the original drivetrain and put in something modern (or even electric!) while keeping the

I see no E9X or F80 M3, therefore this list cannot be taken seriously 😂

I used to have one like this! 1996, dark red, manual with no tach. Learned how to drive stick on that car, nice long shifts where you had to listen to the car to know when it was time.
