Not going to completely disagree with your assessment but I think there are two types of “luxury” cars....a brand that literally only creates expensive cars for people who have too much money....Rolls Royce or Bentley come to mind. Car companies like Ford who have a “luxury” brand are in a different ball game. They…

So he spends tons of money to have that monstrosity which isn’t worth that kind of money painted with titties but then skimped on the sound system. Rodman “I need some music to make those titties bounce....just throw a nice JL Audio subwoofer in the back. Don’t worry about the fact that it will just slide around. I…

This first one, I unfortunately had one. It would shut off going through a puddle like they show:

Does it really matter what condition the engine appears to be in and the maintenance supposedly done? I think not, you are still looking at a car 350000 miles on the clock. No matter how well you maintain, it’s still going to likely Nickle and dime you to death.

A few people have beat me to the punch on WIFI or Bluetooth enabled readers. I was going to take this a step further, what if someone like Allstate provided you with one of those Drivewise devices that you plug into the OBD port and is wireless (at a minimum at least sending information back to your insurance company)…

My first car was a yugo I got for free. Best features:

I have to completely agree.....boring, and to add, a smart buyer is not neccessarily shopping for cars based on them being midsize Sedans. I seriously considered a Subaru Outback which IMO would have given me everything the Passat has and then some for about $3k more and I was always a huge VW fan (I currently have an…

Have you driven a new Passat? I had bought a 2015 model at the end of 2014 and 8 months later traded it. It has plenty of pep (I had the 5 cylinder model) but it completely lacks any kind of personality. It's peppy but not fast, I felt like I couldn't actually tell what the car was doing when steering or braking, the…

Sarcasm....and I should have said CRT not transistor tube. It’s a 1990 car probably built with late 80's parts and judging by the size of that console it's in, it could be a CRT TV set.

Why does the tv in the back need such a huge enclosure? Oh wait, that’s right, transistor tubes. I bet when you turn it off you even get that one little pixel that won't blink out for a minute or so.

Dana beat me to it. The S-10 had way more legroom than the ranger. Even at 6' I felt cramped in the passenger seat. Always had to hope I didn’t get a charlie horse.

I’m not really sure what is worse, the mom who put her kids in the trunk or the driver who allowed that to happen. I wonder which one did the convincing here.

My buddy had a 1991 Ranger in high school with the extended cab, sure I could drive it...with my knees. The seats only went back just as far as they did in the non extended cab as far as I could tell.

I almost want to just say change the name but there is more too it. People are just to stupid. Remember hearing about (and occasionally STILL hear about) idiotic people that think cruise control will drive the car for you? This is the same thing except potentially a lot worse. Once you lose focus on driving and start…

$25K? OK it’s a rate Ford Ranger but it just a bunch of plastic, a soft top that if torn can probably never be replaced, has almost zero leg room for someone like me at 6', and I use my truck...this thing is like a baby truck whose parents saw Pimp My Ride too many times or is a personal friend of Xzibit. I almost…

Looking back I can put into context things that happened when I was 2 (tmi accident) but the first story I was invested in was the challenger explosion. 3rd grade. The whole school was watching because a teacher was going up. Even in third grade I understood something terrible happened. We spent a long time at recess…

Tesla delivering.....ha ha ha ha.

Dealers are well screwed as they get nothing but a long line of people either returning the cars (which of course the dealership will have to handle) or making repairs. VW has no new offerings, likely will not have any TDI that can be sold any time soon, and lost so much customer loyalty that even getting people into…

It's sad that it takes the death of an actor to get a company to realize there is a problem.

There are people who come into my Fiance’s shop who are shocked that the car they bought brand new needs an engine because they never changed the oil. While nighttime driving is a serious issue, in general I don’t think people have an iota of understanding of how a vehicle works and what kind of maintenance it may…
