I like those cars quite a bit and would love to own one. Unfortunately I’m 6'5" and when I sat in one at the Washington Auto Show recently, I barely fit.

Agreed, but it must be stock. When they stop making them, and the power-train warranties all lapse it’s going to be tough to find an unmolested one.

Plus let the tuner kids cull the herd a little and you will have instant rarity.

Actually, 400lbs of torque makes that little thing pretty fun. Too bad you can’t buy them outside of California.

hahaha...yeah some dealers are stingy with them and only reserve them for high-end clients. Gotta 3 series...tough luck, roll in with a 7 for an oil change... “here is your loaner sir.”

Neutral - I dunno if it is cheating or not and probably not super relevant to your average consumer. No one buys a BMW, Audi, or Mercedes because they sold more cars than the other guy last year. However, on the topic of loaner cars, they can be excellent values. Often they are well equipped and have low miles.…

Apparently the RS4 and the RS6 were leaked too:

Yes, it’s quite treacherous up here. Do be careful.

Seriously, I can’t tell them apart.

You misunderstand the issue. The issue isn’t that Apple can’t bypass its own security, it’s that the FBI is asking Apple to create a tool that doesn’t yet exist to bypass the security on all iPhones. See the difference?

I guess you’re missing the whole point... it’s not that Apple can’t, it’s just that they don’t want to as it sets a worryingly bad precedent and as Tim Cook put it “government overreach”. It’s more of a stand that Apple’s taking and if any company could stare the US govt in the eye, it’s probably them. This is from…

Soylendra gets beat up upon, but the program as a whole actually made the government money. You make enough loans and there’s bound to be a few that tank.

Aston Martin: Remaking the same car since 1999

so why is wall street down for the year?

2nd worse is when people go “durrrrr I have an SUV so it’s great in snow durrrr”. There’s a reason you dozens of those idiots off the side of the road when it snows, not realizing that a 15 year old Outback will probably outclass their car in deep snow and that tires are the only thing that matters while moving on low…

Your complaint doesn’t apply to this test.

Lol as someone who drive’s a ‘74 truck (which I love for all the right reasons), this is certainly true. Tune-ups every 15k? That’s some fancy machine you got there..

Mines: 2k for oil, 5k for sparks/distributor points, 10k for valve lash (manually set, no hydraulic auto-magical heeby-jeeby expensive new-fangled…

Scarier still is that lots of people brag that they’re going to give their 16-year-old the family’s old 2001 Expedition or Tahoe because “we want him to be safe.”

You’ll find no end of people (usually old white guys) who think old cars were built better “because you could work on them yourself and a parking lot fender-bender didn’t cost $2,000 to fix.” They’re totally looking at the past through rose-colored glasses and don’t remember that cars used to be easy to work on…
