Trump was an openly corrupt president. That’s all the corrupt businessmen and criminals support him.

We all knew politics was rife with dirty money, but this is one of the first years that buying a candidate and an election has been so openly seen.

So what does he want? Even less safety at his already shitty factories? Whatever.

I told myself something. If trump wins and he starts up with that “project 2025" shit? If he gets to break laws and get away with it then we should follow his example. Pass bullshit laws? Ignore em’. And if enough of us do it they can’t…

Isn’t it (left to right) Citroen SM, 80's Maserati Quattroporte, Maserati Gran Turismo, late BMW 2002, today’s XJS?

I’m with you. Everybody wants to bitch about Jags here, but 1. This IS rare, so the guy does know what he has, 2. LA has plenty of mechanics who can fix these things, 3. LA has lots of expat Brits who could drive this to afternoon tea in Beverly Hills. It’s not an unreasonable price—somebody out there will be very…

I was really torn on this one.

Maybe I’m willfully ignoring inflation, but I can’t get to $8,500 on a 28-year-old truck with 280K miles on it, even if it is a Toyota. The fact that he mysteriously says “it would be my collection truck” also gives a strong whiff of “NO LOWBALLERS, I KNOW WHAT I HAVE!”  ND.

280,000 miles is a lot of miles for any car. Toyotas got their reliability status for for just making it to 280,000 miles. Maybe it has another 100,000 in it, but I’m not going to gamble on it. Weird stuff wears out at this mileage.

Cars.com has a few for half the price.  But this seller knows what they have, so they should keep it.  ND.

I’d like to provide a late submission for the 1988 Pontiac Trans Am. Specifically the red Kammback model with the matching rear spoiler and wheel covers.

What, no Smokey and the bandit Trans Am?

I’ve owned five of them between 1992 and 2015. All were good cars.

We drove a VW Phaeton for almost three years and it was marvelous. The CC is basically the same, aside from some stylistic differences. If we needed a daily driver, this would be the car. 

I don’t have an issue with it. Pretty loaded car for $15 grand, not an SUV, not a minivan, can carry 4 people and some stuff in the trunk, looks nice and not a blob, and given the age, low miles. NP

I was sitting here trying to be an altruist and thinking “none - there should be a vehicle for everyone and choice is good” but you talked me out of it. Fuck these things indeed.

Fuck this thing.

Can I add a Wishlist car? The prius. Not because of the car itself, but because their drivers are so off and on they might as well write in binary. Like my lord they are either super timid to the point of being a liability, or they are just hyper aggressive. It doesn’t help that the car itself at least the first or…

The Subaru Tribeca. I’m not even sure what they were trying to do with it as they had several models that were better at doing whatever it was trying to do. I’m kind of surprised it even lived long enough to have a facelift done as the first gen was hideous and should’ve been shelved before production.

Draw a Venn digram of all those things — comfort, safety, FWD, mature, under $15K, reasonable maintenance, Colorado-climate friendly, good road-tripper — and you’ll see this baby right dead set in the middle:
