This is exactly one of the reasons why the dealership model exists. For many people a new car is the most expensive purchase they will ever make in their life. For most others.. its the 2nd most expensive purchase. Alot of Tesla buyers came from vehicles like a Honda or Toyota.. those who bought in 2022 literally paid…

EV’s are still a very YMMV experience. There are many people who who simply never travel far enough away from home to ever need to use a Supercharger. There are many people who own an EV+ and ICE.. and purposely so they never need to drive the EV on long trips. There are many people who’s only car is even a non-EV…

Unless its related to affordability or budget concerns I now feel the exact opposite. Newer cars are safer than ever.. and that alone could be the difference between you living, dying or being gravely injured in accident that probably wasn’t even your fault. Hell most new cars have added safety tech that will prevent…

Their entire interface is trash. But yes I think we all can agree the capacitive touch + piano black combination should have died like 17 years ago when it was introduced on the original PS3. It has never been pleasant or reliable to use.. and the amount of fingerprints, smudges and dust it attacts only serves to…

Bought a 1998 GS400 in 2006. Literally bought the cheapest one in the entire country according to Autotrader.com. Had 98,000 miles & located in TX. Paid $700 and waited about 2 weeks for it ship via truck to NYC area. Outside of being a bit smaller than I thought.. the car was everything you said it was. And that…

Used Lexus is my default answer to any what used car I should I buy. You basically get Toyota reliability + Lexus luxury.. and everything else will be as good or better than whatever the competition is offering.   I just searched Cargurus.com for $10-11K used Lexus.. and looks like that will get you a 2007 RX350,…

I’ve owned 15 vehicles in my life. All of them used except for the last two purchases. And from every manufacturer you can mention. Out of all 15.. I’ve maybe been stranded on the side of the road due to a mechanical breakdown and needed an actual tow truck to rescue me about 3 times. I dont want to give away my age…

Would you think that is the typical experience for a 2011 Cayman. Or you just had extremely bad luck with a lemon.

I’m sure there is someone who also bought a Camry.. known for its bulletproof reliability.. but turned out to be a lemon.

Oh I certainly agree. Most of the cars I have purchased have been used and out of state. Just a cheaper way to shop by searching nationwide for the exact model/trim/spec/features you want. Many times the vehicle you want is simply priced lower in other markets. I’ve even purchased a Lexus from Texas, sight unseen, 98K…

I certainly understand the worry about a used car. But also lets be real.. when is the last time you’ve ever purchased a car.. any car.. and had a major failure in the first tens of thousands of miles of ownership. Unless you are shopping for a 25 year old Range Rover.. As long as its a used car has a good history and…

3000 miles. My dream is to buy an EV in California and literally coast-to-coast back home. I have access to free charging so it wont cost me a dime besides food, tolls and some hotel room reward points. Would use airline points to pay for the one-way flight out to the West coast.

I daily drove a ‘07 C6 for 7 years. Sold it with 98k miles. It was a fantastic vehicle to drive daily.. that said like any other car it served it purpose and then it was time to move on. The super stiff suspension from the Z51 package and 6spd manual transmission just became tiring to drive on the…

He moved his entire HQ from California to Texas.  The equivalent of tell me you are a MAGA bro.. without telling me you are a MAGA bro.

Oh you will care.  This is all about getting Trump back on Twitter.  Doesnt matter which side of the orange fence you sit.. it will absolutely effect you as election time is already here again.  

Was amazed to find out how easily my grill grates were cleaned by my 3000PSI Honda pressure washer. When I say clean.. they went from black and crudy.. to shiny stainless steel again!

I can already tell people are going about this the wrong way. The point was never to kneel forever. The point was to protest and bring attention to the unfair treatment of minorities by police & law enforcement. And now whenever we see someone kneeling, the fact we automatically assume that person is protesting social…

99% rule for me. Buy that vehicle that does 99% of what you need it to. And for other 1%.. rent it.

In your case you like off-roading, but still need reliable daily driver.  You already did the right thing choosing a Toyota product.  But you’d be much better served if Toyota would get their shit together, finally bring…

Thank you for pointing this out much better than I did.

Due to the extremely expensive upfront cost of purchasing the vehicle, its virtually impossible to ‘break-even’ when considering the entire ownership cost of each vehicle. There’s other things to also considering.. like insurance, registration, property taxes,…

Tesla owner here. You made the same mistake everybody does when bragging how cheap it is to drive a Tesla. You simply forgot you have to first pay for the car! LOL

Just’a good ol’ boys
Never meanin’ no harm
