Hey Adam, just a note.  There are a LOT of good commenters in the greys.  On your stories, are you allowed to follow up in the comments and follow some of these grey folks so that they aren’t grey anymore?

Obligatory*

I agree, important point about the hybrid Maverick, it’s not AWD like the Santa Cruz is. For some, that may be an important factor. 

DeMuro reviewed one, and got an indicated 17mpg.  That’s a tough sell against Maverick.

22 MPG for this is appalling. 

Why is 300 hp at 22 mpg “NEEDED”? I get that it’s more fun, but given the shitty states of both US commuter culture and the climate maybe that’s not the best foot to put forward?

I can’t fucking believe the $50k MSRP

I taught my kids about money playing Monopoly. One of them (around 9 and 6 at the time) came up with the great idea of taking out a loan from the bank. I said sure but every time it’s their turn they have to pay 20% interest on the loan. After about 2 games they decided not to take out loans from the bank. They seem…

NOW we need an etymologist.

Pasha.

Oftentimes, especially in the German car world, “coded” means “initialized to this specific car.” It’s often the case with high-end German cars that you can’t just get a salvaged computer module from a donor car and expect it to play nicely in your car. It has to be reset and initialized to your car, or it won’t work.

Yeah, I’m getting the Turbo Premium Plus hatch. In red, obviously.

Filters aren’t going to undo the effects of heat on the oil, and that concept isn’t exactly revelatory...

this makes sense right??

Might be late now, but shopping around for box trucks is a good idea.
