And yet the people who buy them care more about practicality than looks. Also the Aztek was garbage. Horrible build quality and inefficient. Even if it did have a lot of interior space.

People give the Prius crap, but I think it’s brilliant. The best mpg, loads of interior space, cheap to buy and they’re indestructible. I’m considering a fuel sipping commuter to complement my M5 and TDIs never were a consideration because of the garbage reliability. You made a fine choice.

JFK to MNE? Does Virgin Atlantic fly inter-city US routes, or just connections from trans-atlantic flights? I absolutely love Virgin America and would take them everywhere if they had more flights out of Chicago. I currently only take them when going to SFO.

I really, really hope this works out. I love the FR-S, despite its power deficit. However, I think they designed it backwards. Toyota designed the chassis and Subaru designed the engine. It should be the other way around.

The first ones to call for war and more military spending are the first to deny veterans care for “cost reasons”. It makes me sick. I used to support the GOP, but this anti-intellectualism, war mongering mentality is getting absurd. That’s exactly what Bush did to bring us into the geopolitical clusterfuck we have…

It looks lovely. The wheels are because concept car. I’m sure they won’t make it into production that large

The Tahoe Limited. Think of it as a Tahoe SS. Only produced in 2000. Unique body kit, wheels, interior and the police z60 performance pack.

There is one of these with the big 4: Wagon, W8, manual and 4Motion. There’s one in my town on Enkei rally wheels (covered in an awful rhino liner paint) that Jalopnik featured on NPOCP a few years back.

Looks like she accidentally hit Triangle button.

And I thought they just bulk sold them to La Sinaloa cartel. Neat!

Not crazy, but crazy I made it home. My alternator light came on in Death Valley and was making some crazy noise. We continued driving (160k mile E39 M5, 3 guys and all our camping gear) all the way to Yosemite, then San Francisco... Then nonstop 32 hour drive back to Indiana. The next morning the car wouldn’t crack…

Ummm don’t think you understand the concept of sunk cost. That’s a spent amount you can’t retrieve. The money you would spend on gas in the future is not sunk and therefore relevant to the total cost of ownership. You should determine how long you will probably own the car and see how much you will saveon fuel and…

Lexus is buying back new LS460 F-sports because the Brembo brake packs are too loud for their LS customers’ tastes. Zero issues with the car and it operates as it should, but the customers just wanted the F-sport looks without the performance parts. So if you want a perfectly fine, like new LS, go find a “Lemon”…

So when you factor in probabilities, you’re always better to volunteer. First, out of 100 passengers, you have a 1% chance of being the person selected to be bumped. Multiple that $1300 by .01 and suddenly your expected value isn’t so great. You could volunteer and have 100% chance (if you make it to the counter…

Because you could buy an American truck and have a face full of shrapnel AND a fire! USA! USA!

Ford, Chrysler and GM have more vehicles with the Takata airbag recall than Toyota and Nissan.

Just for the record, Toyota is replacing the entire frames on Tacomas that are up to 15 years old under “extended corrosion warranty” while covering months of rental cars. For the same reason, Toyota will STILL fix the head gaskets on early 90’s 4Runners that blow today, because high mileage models (150k+) tend to…

Toyota Avalon. It’s much smoother and quieter than a Town car and will last for three centuries and a nuclear winter before it needs even an oxygen sensor replaced. As for the 300 being unstoppable... Chrysler still builds garbage. Just highly polished garbage. My brother’s ‘13 300S has been a steaming turd. It’s…

Overtightening every bolt. Nobody I know has a torque wrench or torque specs for their cars.

If those are genuine M parallel wheels, then this is definitely a deal. I used to own a ‘97 and god, that was a great car.
