Bison is like this on every Tesla post. Relentlessly defending the indefensible....

Maybe, but I doubt the used car lot cares to figure out which ones are good and which ones are utter POS. I think it’s best if the person who is going to be driving on the tires picks where they want to cheap out. Leaving it up to someone with no skin in the game seems risky.

One trick I have developed to keeping older cars is to just fix them when they break and to just replace worn out parts. I don’t know how many people I’ve talked to that are thinking about replacing their car because it needs shocks and struts. One guy said he wanted to get a new car because his current one needed…

C’mon.  We all know that Big Ice bought all of the steam patents long ago and have buried them.   

Have this video of 844 going 75mph.

Just gotta remember to keep water in that boiler at all times.

I wanna drive the Big Boy!

We’re all certified steam engineers / firepersons now and can apply at UP. This is great!

I got a sequoia once as a rental car last year. At first, I was shocked that a rental car company still had such an old car in their fleet. I was even more shocked when I saw on the door jam that it was actually a new car. It wasn’t particularly cutting edge even when new. Today, they are like time capsules. 

Well if I win the powerball, I’m gonna put together a Gone in 59 seconds list of 51 cars.

“No low ballers, tire kickers; firm price, no test drive without a letter of credit. I know what I’ve got.”

Not a bad idea. Drive one and use the other as a donor parts car.

My question is: what kind of dealer markup is there on a 7 year old new limited edition discontinued car? Can you bargain? “Hell no! I’m not paying that! It’s seven years old!”  Would really like to know what they went for. 

And it’s not like they handle badly - they really do drive pretty much like an old Mercedes. Heavy, but precise. Nothing this big will ever be a Miata, but much of the US is flat and boring anyway.

It’s a comfortable car that can be had with a variety of HP flavors. It doesn’t always have to be about “riding on rails” handling. We’re undoubtedly heading towards an electric self driving future, so enjoy these types of cars while you can.

I want to point out that newer isn’t always better. Why bother spending money developing an entirely new platform when the current one will suffice. The money they don’t put towards developing a new platform can be used to improving the components on current products. The reality is that for 50k after incentives, you…

Why mess with success? It’s a comfortable car that can be had with a variety of HP flavors. It doesn’t always have to be about “riding on rails” handling. We’re undoubtedly heading towards an electric self driving future, so enjoy these types of cars while you can. 

“It’s hard to find a coherent group more responsible for making automotive discourse more shitty than the Tesla Cult.”

Correct. Why bother with actual research on the subject matter, though? There are other people’s YouTube videos to share!!!
