I was overall generally disappointed with the lack of gators at the Miami GP. I would have taken a brief clip of a racing steward on the phone while gesturing at a gator who had crawled up too close to the track.  They could have at least made one of the overpasses they had to drive under look like a gator.

As someone who would really like to go to a grand prix in the future, that cost breakdown would be really great!  I’m not married to going to the Miami grand prix, but I’m not against it either.

1. I want you to honestly report how many times you witnessed cocaine use.

Except that if you read the article they’re already pivoting to fighting against access to abortions.  You’re discussing this like they were ever operating in some sort of good faith.  They aren’t.

Depending on the vintage, the Mazda3 can get astonishingly bad mileage with city driving. We typically saw in the teens in our 2013 and had carbon build-up causing misfires before 40k miles.

Which... isn’t really how any of this works! Unless you’re selling something that’s going for a premium, you’re just going to end up with something worse in this scenario unless you’re going for something super specific.

With the ND they did a pretty impressive job keeping up with all the various standards and still staying short, low, and lightweight.  I think the engineers end up dealing with some pretty interesting challenges.  The RF version should have won more awards for the engineering that went into tucking that roof in behind…

I’m 5'10" and in the normal range of BMI. So a normal height and a normal weight.  I fit in my Miata RF just fine. We even took it on long road trips without a problem.

It looks god awful. The protruding hood ridge that’s trying to capture the vintage aesthetic is muted to the point of just making it look fucked up.  So it looks bad coming and going.  The belt line has been slid up to be more of a neckline.  The whole thing is just terrible to look at.

The Wagoneer looks like it is wearing mom/dad jeans pulled up to its nipples. The thing is somehow even more terrible in person than it is in pictures too.

The Wagoneer may be the ugliest SUV being manufactured today.

Definitely check Carmax and the online companies like Carvana.  I found them to be MUCH easier than dealing with any dealer I’ve ever been to.  They didn’t try to nickel and dime me over dumb shit after the fact.

That’s what I would expect.  Many CL buyers haven’t adjusted to today’s market.  They were terrible before, and they’re terrible now.  They’ll offer you half list and waste all of your time.

“Could I have gotten more for it on the private market? Absolutely, no question.”

Author said apartment, probably meant condo. Probably one with a garage, so maybe more like a townhouse situation. It is altogether possible they do not have the service to support a charger and would need significant upgrades that would be much more costly and even impossible in certain situations. I lived in a place…

Our 4Runner came with some pretty good OEM all season mats.  Just hosed them down at the car wash on Sunday.  They were totally frosted with about a quarter inch of salt in some places.

We took a rental Veloster (terrible fucking car) to places we really really should not have.  It was basically scraping all around, but luckily they didn’t notice the new scuffs in the paint vs the old scuffs in the paint.

What’s great about the 4Runner is it works great out of the box and doesn’t require major repairs after every outing.

Bought a 4Runner January of 2021. It was a nightshade (limited) so I had new 17in wheels on it within a couple months. Then last summer we took it on a 7000 mile road trip that included a bunch of off roading in Utah and Colorado. The 4Runner is very capable for something that still can pass as a “regular” car.

We were picked up by an Uber Cayenne once. “Fancy!” we thought. The back seat was terrible, the ride was terrible, and the interior was surprisingly not even nice looking.  And I wouldn’t take one of those anywhere I couldn’t walk back from.
