its called money down, or a very nice trade in.

I don’t think Barra should be a CEO of GM (as the GM we know today shouldn’t even exist). It should have failed and had zero government intervention. This goes with any business from banks, automakers, pharma, Walmart or a local mom n pop store ect... The general american populace has had their elected officials…

Where did I say 162K is a shit ton of money? The average house hold income in the US is around 50K a year so he isn’t doing that bad either. He most likely lives in Michigan so 162K goes a lot further then say Cali or NYC. My only point is that Union officers do not suffer the consequences of their actions, only the…

The UAW administrators normally only worry about making sure the union dues come in and ensure that those at the top keep their pay and bennies. The President makes over 162K a year in gross salary. I am sure he donates lots of that to the unemployed members of his union.

I agree with the Cadillac aspect. Their cars always feel cheap compared to the Euro brands.

So you can push your under powered car and have lots of fun (civic, fiesta, FRS ect..), or pay to play and buy a car with tons of HP and be ready to pony up for a lawyer when you get caught hooning.

If your trying to be responsible and you need a 4 door sedan (mid size) for hauling offspring. Your options are very limited....

No its not odd at all. Many of the very wealthy (1% of the 1%) they make so much money taxing them at a higher rate would do little to reduce their wealth. Take George Soros an individual who is worth 23 billion... he gives a lot of money to liberal candidates. It wouldn’t matter how much you taxed him because he will…

I was going to say 15K max for that car and that is with knowing Zero about what they are selling for on Ebay.

I refuse to buy a CVT car. Heck I don’t want to even buy an Auto but the wife insists that if I own 2 cars 1 of them must be Auto so she can drive it if her car is out of commission.

I’ve been looking at the Accord Sport (looks and the red/white gauges i hate blue gauges). Its a shame they wont offer it with their V6 with a 6spd Auto or Manual. Instead its 2.4L I4 with a cvt or stick.

I would assume that its your Net Income.

It was an SXT. 1.4 Turbo. I wouldn’t say every car, but yea one can not expect much from a rental car. However when your the worst of the POS cheap rentals you know your bad.

I drove one for a rental. It was a horrible experience... I didn’t mind the looks but between a buzzy engine that got you no where fast and the craptastic plastic interior there is no way I would recommend it to anyone to buy or rent.

I like VW designs, except for the front grille area. VW front ends just look too plain looking compared to other brands.

Northern New Jersey would be my guess..

Not sure what bike that guy was on but, seriously a 05-10 Fusion with a the largest engine being a 3.0L V6 keeping up with a sports bike (what it appears to be from the fairing)?

Only 75K miles on the car... if it had 175K+ id consider a new car.

I never said that... I never said “The French” I said Europe. If the USA packed up its military bases in Europe, they would be unhappy that they would now have to fend for them selves.

1st gear: Must be nice for Europe to spend money on infrastructure then on Defense as they rely on some one else to supplement them.
