It’s not an eBay listing but I purchased this 2005 Prius non running from a dealer who couldn’t figure out the hybrid battery system. I paid $800 with 148,000. I’ve put about $600 into it and it’s been running great and getting me 45mpg! Makes owning my 12mpg LX470 much easier!

Heard of these?

Yeah... I can only take the dude in small doses. When Jalopnik was peak DeMuro, I found his articles (and the fanboying in the comments) so insufferable I stopped reading them.

It’s craven because the author can’t see past his own prejudices...

who the fuck cares. that’s his problem. buy a house where you can park it in the back yard. or a fucking farm

Well, I am a professional racer (retired). He did check oncoming traffic, pulled on the track, and left PLENTY of room for the other rider. The other rider just happened to crash and therefore “went wide” and took out rider number one. Wrong place, wrong time. As far as rider number one causing rider number two to go

The American South.

It’s trickle-down car-conomics. A large portion of Wranglers and a surprising percentage of Raptors will be used and properly abused - just not by their first owners. We need the poseurs to peacock it up so that someone, someday, can buy the purpose built vehicle at a price point where they don’t feel bad using it

Is it still built by FCA? If you answered yes then of course reliability will be at the bottom or the bottom in its class.

The Corvette has 375 HP and 370 lb-ft of torque. It weighs 3,200 pounds and costs $33,600. Besides the small difference in price, why would you choose the Nissan?

That is more powerful then my 7.3L powerstroke. Actually 5 lbs feet less but the weight difference will make up for it

Alternatively, the 7.3L diesel version of the Excursion is a wonder. It is reliable, it tows and will run all day at highway speed while getting fuel mileage that no other SUV that size can match.

sounds like a cold start - pretty much all LS1 engines develop a bit of piston slap that goes away once they warm up.

Ford GT90.

Freddy, we’re gonna have one of those meetings later where I talk and you listen.

“basically an LS1 V8 with two cylinders lopped off”

Dodge Caliber rental car. I knew it was garbage going into this ordeal, and even then was massively disappointed by that sled after two days of use.

As an avid Alfa owner, do I care if the infortainment system works in my Most likely $70K plus new car? Yes! Yes, I care very much!!!!!

Mom was born in 1956, her first car was an MGB convertible. She’s had numerous VW beetles, Camaro’s, Firebirds etc. Her love of Jaguars, Stingray Corvettes, Porsche 911's and all things European and exotic got me into cars at such a young age. At 28 I’m on my 11th car, she always supports me with whatever I purchase

Thats what we in the biz call a Puerto Rican jack stand.
