I’ll also be leery of any used vehicle in to 2021-2022 year range down the road as who knows what it’ll be missing.

On a new car invoice destination is a line-item, but noticing that requires the buyer to... y’know... actually read it. Salesmen will often just attempt the “sign here” maneuver unless you ask to look it over.

Glad to help! Given the history (example link below) I’d assume this applies on both sides of the pond.

Yeah I’d never be able to look past that gauge cluster. I’m not one of those “full screen gauges” evangelists either, my Giulia has normal gauges and I love them, but the styling and execution in this LS are laughably terrible.

I didn’t learn this until my late 20s. It’s a good one to keep in your pocket for when you feel like being pedantic... even good writers/intelligent people like Mercedes mess that up alllll the time.

Grammar nerd note for paragraph 4: fiancé is masculine, fiancée is feminine. One of the few gendered words in English (blond/blonde being another notable one).

Two Rogers don’t make a right!

The LS was definitely the most common back in the day, by a long way. The old Integra was right during my high school era and I’m not even sure I ever saw a GS-R, let alone an actual R, way back when.

There will be some, albeit very few, that weren’t beaten on. My late father bought a 2008 STi brand new in his late 50s and daily drove it until he passed a few years back. 70,000 miles, bone stock, and always dealer-maintained.

People did them on minitrucks and small SUVs like the Geo Tracker, too. Granted,  it could be argued that these are a subset of lowriders.

I’ve always hated these, they came out when I was in high school, but somehow that turbo cab is actually starting to look... interesting? I mean it’s shit, I’d never buy one, but somehow that specific configuration has become slightly cool in its own weird way.

Agreed... with the one yesterday I disagreed with at least 2/3 of the points raised.

Alfa Romeo also has some fantastic color options, and the best part is that people actually buy them.

My fiancee, who wanted the higher driving position and practicality but also wanted something fast. Her SQ5 (with the adaptive suspension, S-sport package, and sports diff) is legitimately quick and also handles far better than an SUV has any right to. From an engineering perspecitve it’s a huge achievement.

Dear god that is a big-ass boat. Thanks for the tip, it really puts into perspective how monstrous these things are.

COD4: MW (the original version not the remaster) is the best COD, and it’s not even close.

Totally plausible. Although it isn’t like this is a stripped-out track build. Could have just been an aesthetic choice too, although personally I prefer the stock 5-spokes.

I had a DX manual sedan back in early college which was easily good for 36-38mpg, and later I had an ‘01 EX manual coupe which could hit 36 if you weren’t driving like a hooligan (I was ~20 at the time so I was always driving like a hooligan). Great little cars, they’re more fun than people give them credit for.

I’m not the only one who pegged these as HX, but I’m thinking they’re off like a 2001. Completely possible that a.) the wheels changed over that 4 year gap or b.) Acura changed the calipers during the other 4 year gap.

Yeah I’m not a UTV guy so I have no knowledge but I can’t imagine they (all, at least) have VINs. I think you’re on the right track in that finding a state that allows for on-road UTVs would be the ticket to registration here.
