If you run the debit card as credit, you technically you have the same consumer “protections” as a credit card.

Awesome! I just can’t get over the Jeep thing.

On almost every automotive forum, you’ll find comments about how expensive new trucks are. However, one look at the sales figures...

How are we supposed to change gears manually while updating Facebook and drinking our coffee?

You could’ve bought this car for 60k back in 1994, driven a modest 3,000 miles per year, and then invested the payment once it was paid off. You’d be left with a 72,000-mile NSX in good condition and enough money to buy a NEW NSX with CASH today.

The real defining aspect of a golden age is being able to read all of these online, for free, through your local library!

I have the GM Credit Card, and (almost) every year they send a “topoff” letter in the mail, which includes anywhere from 1-4k off of a new vehicle, ON TOP OF any other manufacturer and dealership incentives. There’s a special code that you have to give your salesman for it to take effect.

Nothing is more American than a full-sized pickup truck that gets 30 MPG.

Where’s the Speed3?

Actually sitting down and doing the budget is the hardest part IMO. Simply linking your bank account to Mint and staring at the pretty graphs on the screen isn’t going to cut it. People need to get more involved than that. Taking charge of your finances, and being in charge of every dollar spent is huge. You can’t…

I think automotive design has come such long way that you really need to see a vehicle in person before making any conclusions about its architecture.

Sport compacts were some of the LEAST profitable automobiles ever sold by the auto industry. Couple that with the low take rate (the Cobalt SS Supercharged made up just 3% of total Cobalt sales in 2007) and you can see why they dropped it like it’s hot.

If you look at the Mecum ad, they use VERY specific terminology on the Earnhardt Junior car (that’s supposedly sold.)

There’s definitely a spike in asking prices for LS1 F-Bodies lately. This one is a horrible example - missing stripes, collision damage as another commenter mentioned.

Is it possible that they ran it out of gas, rather than “broke down?” 

Don’t let MC20 see this post!

I’d go with the Chevrolet SS. They hold their value extremely well (take a look at G8 GXP sold listings right now) so if you don’t like it, you can always offload it for close to what you paid for it.

Good to know that it won’t overheat while getting lapped by ZL1. 

Anyone see this before?

What was GM’s last mid-engine car, the Fiero?
