While cute, it is kind of like learning history from political attack ads.

I saw one of these for the first time this summer. The animal, not the car.

Exactly! I live about 100 miles north of you, so yeah, used Subaru prices are usually bonkers.

I already do tell them that. People generally don't get rid of their car strictly because of maintenance costs, and there are loads of articles on this very site that give advice on how to deal with that. People get rid of their car because they are no longer satisfied with it in one way or another. That is why…

Again this is where research is important. For the most part you're right, but a few years ago I was looking at getting my wife a lightly used Impreza. But, there are in fact some cars whose deprecation works against you the OTHER way. Long story short, I ended up with a brand new Impreza for only slightly more…

If you really want to spend less money on your vehicle, I've carefully devised a three-step solution. It's kind of complex, so pay close attention:

A phrase that has suited me well: "If you're looking for trouble, you're always going to find it."

I'm 6'4". My wife is 5'8". The rear-facing phase is temporary and IS worth some slight discomfort, NOT worth giving up my car and spending money on something I don't want.

You're right: I wouldn't call it "going mainstream", but the only time I can remember there being anything close to a demand for Lotus was the first couple years of the Elise in the US. But leading up to that, Lotus was barely was in the market anyway. You'd see an Esprit every once in a while, but they were like…

Mmmkay, couple of things. 1) I drove my daughter home from the hospital in a WRX, and it has suited us fine ever since. 2) The Mazda 5, while rare, is available with a stick and is the only choice if a minivan is unavoidable.

There was a back to school commercial this year that featured this song being played using recorders and bells. I recognized it and started singing along for my daughter, who was about to start kindergarten. A few days later, we were riding in the car and she asked me to play it on my phone, based solely on me…

How was this like a Countach? For one thing, the Audi is function over style; the Countach is famous for being the exact opposite. Also, the Countach was in production from 1974-1990, meaning that the Countach was the Countach of 1984.

A genius with a personality and a sense of humor. The world needs more like him.

TMS are my initials. I don't remember being so affected by the news from Cadillac that it would harm my punctuality.

Totally agree about the licensing thing, but I would imagine that some sort of special insurance would be needed before taking one out on the road. Perhaps that becomes the obstacle needed to hurdle in order to drive one?

Hey now. I bought my wife a new Impreza back in 2010, and it's been great. $17k out the door. There was absolutely nothing better for that kind of money. And honestly it handles better than my '02 WRX.

Hey guys? Let's let the politics end here. That's not what this is about.

Meh. I doubt if the government could add integrity to something as crooked as the medical industry is already. Let's let the politics end here.

I would like to thank you for the warning, sir. Even though I really am not a speedy driver, I've gotten 3 tickets in 14 years of driving. My wife and I are planning a trip out east next year, Virginia and D.C. included.

Medical bills can destroy lives and ruin families. On top of that, they lost another loved one to the same killer that stole a life from their family already. Throw them a few dollars. It will not end the pain, but it may ease the strain. No cute "look at me!" charity gimmick, just a good deed. Come on.
