Yeap.  I’m not going to say that what replaces dealerships won’t suck, but they will have to work really hard to suck worse than the dealerships.

I have been buying cars for close to 30 years.

It’s really not.

“I can’t imagine any carmaker trying to get away with something like this today”

Time for a “water is wet” post?

I’ve had 285/75 KO2s on my Xterra for the last couple of years and it does great in the snow.

Good A/T tires with the mountain/snowflake symbol are acceptable in snow. I’ve done multiple winter rallies up here in Canada on them and never been stuck. They aren’t as good as dedicated winters, especially on ice, but they are far, far better than all seasons and about on par with ‘all weather’ tires.

Based on the number of people leading with “this thing is great at what it does, but it’s just so old” I fear for a number of posters’ grandparents.

the dude passed two runaway truck ramps after he was already out of control and when he pulled over before that he knew the brakes were cooked and instead of letting them cool he hopped in and pressed on. then after he hit everyone he tried to flee the scene. 30 years is good. he couldve bailed into the median and…

He’s not a “kid”. He’s 26. He’s old enough to take responsibility for what he did.

You consider Onstar one of a car’s biggest features?

I think it also has to do with the inflated value of used cars now too. My car’s value has literally doubled since pre-pandemic times and it’s going to be paid off in 7 months. When I told this to a friend of mine they were absolutely shocked that I wasn’t trading in and getting something else. I think people just see…

Exactly. Until Apollo 8, actually sending men to the Moon and bringing them back alive was strictly hypothetical.

China and India only have more emissions because they have far more people. Of the world’s largest economies, we have the highest emissions per person.

I’d argue the C8. It looks good from the front....but hot damn that ass is ugly! Looks like it was designed by hot wheels in 1993.

Try this - drivers on fixed incomes less likely to want to triple their insurance rates to cover cars they cannot afford and pay more in property taxes on those expensive vehicles.

well since they said that was their personal data not the national average its not going to be the same now is it. 

If you go over 100 years ago, we didn’t replace dogs with robots, we replaced horses with robots. Horses were a means to an end, and we found a better means in the automobile. All the equine purists decried the loss of horse as sacrilege, but horses never went away completely, they just became a niche. That's the same…

Those of us horse and carriage enthusiasts never wanted cars either - I loved the smell of the horse, the feel of thinly padded drivers seat - the crack of the whip, the squealing of the wooden axle -

Is it really your dream car if you’re deciding to trade it in for basically no reason?
