This is madness. I friggin love that move. Cranked out counter culture burnouts driving cars and talking radio. That movie was made for me. And that final scene? chef’s kiss.

Mark 1-4 supra lover here. I want to love it but to my eye it looks like an over wrought miata. This is part of toyota’s design language these days so it’s hardly just an issue with this car, I just prefer the classic lines of the earlier models. Less is more. Looks better from the front than the back.

I’ll pile on. I have a model Y and rented a 300 on a few occasions. I loved it and if it weren’t for the mileage and legacy platform it would have been a contender. Felt like a modern day gangster car from the 40s. That said, I long for the day when I can select my “shell” and just be able to drop an electric…

Youre probably from here and know this already but for everyone’s edification, Tacoma or Tahoma is the original word for Mt Rainier and there is a strong push to rename the mountain as such. I’ll also say Tacoma is a pretty nice place these days.

I’ll add they could skip the bit about Amazon too. I don’t give a shit about amazon, I don’t have stock and I don’t work there. But converting your fleet to electric seems like a “good thing” and commercial transportation is the biggest polluter so... shouldn’t Jalopnik be behind that? It’s such a confusing message. I…

I’ve got a CT pre-order to replace my ‘08 gas hog tundra. It’s the same bed size, the tailgate is supposed to lower to get stuff in and out easier (tailgates on all pickups now are TOO TALL) and it is supposed to go 500 miles on the top trim. That checks the right boxes for me. Throw in it is stainless steel and a…

Agreed. Team Sanity isn’t going to be winning hearts and minds if we’re constantly throwing one another under the bus. I’m not conservative or a republican but I am an objectivist and have voted across party lines for the better candidate. I don’t need world peace, my bar is much lower, I’d like to just view one…

If Chevy (or whoever) had an atomic car I assure you the military has had a nuke powered tank. My guess is it wasn’t practical for whatever reason, of which I assume there were many.

Put it in airplane mode and never see the ad again. I think those ad subsidized kindles are a great deal.

Bold strategy Cotton. Sub 2% loans are pretty much only on cars with loans from the manufacturer on select trims. S&P has been returning around 7-10% for a few decades now. Taking a loan at 3% and putting that money into the market likely clears you 4%. That assumes of course you have the cash...

Ha, you haven’t been following along. You would have been mostly right up until this year but bus driver shortages have completely stopped bus service in at least Seattle and Chicago. We’re talking kindergartners here and up to a mile and a half.

You’re not wrong but god damn does that statement reek of privilege. My mom is a retired nurse. She never had to deal with finances, my dad took care of it. He passed. She has no skill or savvy and barely even a starting point. Yeah, most people I know can do it fine but many productive, smart people, for whatever…

I don’t disagree with you but the 4 square model in car buying is absolutely designed to deceive. I helped my mom buy her last car and they tried all kinds of silly shit. I said the only thing I care about is total cost, these other squares are meaningless. The info is all there but at least at that time (small sample…

Man another person with a reasonable take. Most of the time costs are baked in to any service or product, it’s just invisible to you. Few things are excessively priced beyond the cost of providing it, most of the time people just have different value propositions which is fine, that is why choice exists.

This guy gets it. We’ve been paying for feature subscription ever since XM radio was a thing. Fine. I SERIOUSLY doubt we’re talking about locking people out of primary functions like driving. Lament Tesla FSD all you want but a subscription may be all you ever need. Why lay out $10k when you can just spend $100-200…

This guy gets it. The M3 was a Camry competitor and for a while the top trim Camry was MORE expensive (hybrid drive). No one is calling a Camry “luxury.”

This is such a reductive statement it borders on offensive. I’ve becomes used to it in the car community, they’re the same people that tell me why I shouldn’t own a truck. Isn’t this cognitive dissonance anyway? If image mattered most wouldn’t the way the car looks matter most? Cheap interiors and panel gaps certainly…

Does kinja have a way of muting someone (GordonOwnersClub)? I believe in free speech and all but I also have the right to ignore it. Kinja is making that difficult for me to do.

I’ve heard lots of people talk about this but I’ve never understood the rational. You need a place to live and just because you don’t own it doesn’t mean the taxes go away, the property owner still is accountable for paying them and if you are renting from that owner, I’m guessing they pass that on in the form of…

This effort is largely dead and was based on bad initial research. I was curious just the other day so I poked at it a bit and wikipedia confirms. I think there is only one major research project left that investigating the possibility. All the others have pulled up stakes. I was pretty disappointed to hear it.
