Given a good portion of them are saying racist things, including actual WWII era Nazi slogans, I’d say the ones who are “protectin muh herituge” might be in the wrong crowd.

It suffered from VWitis. They made a good affordable “peoples car” sports coupe in the Scirocco. Then VW built the Scirocco III (aka the Corrado) and realized that they had priced it too high and no one would buy a Scirocco for that price and had to rename the car to Corrado. They slowly and steadily have done the…

Is this your reasoning or the researchers?

Cars are supposedly designed to last 12 years, which means at oldest an early 2000s car would be 17 years old (which last i checked is not young for a car at least in Michigan). Plus Michigan roads are not great, and cars tend to rust out here. For you to say its not that old, you must not live in an area where rust…

Except that public agencies typically dump them long before they reach those miles. There are a lot of variables in play here. Therefore it would be a mistake to interpret this as a list of the most durable.

From what I’ve seen on Michigan roads, early 200s Impalas and Buick Centuries are almost impossible to kill because they are still kicking it on the roads, I feel like I see one of those two more than anything other older vehicle. I do see Civics and Accords occasionally of a similar vintage, along with F-150s.…

I had a 2000 Mustang V6 - the car I bought in high school. I had it for 15 years and it had over 230,000 miles when I sold it. Not one major issue, only your typical repairs for a car of that age. The point is, in the case of many modern cars, it doesn’t really matter what you buy, if you take care of it like you…

On the side of the road with head gasket issues.

“It’s really inconsequential to me.”

Drinking and then driving is legal. Driving drunk is not.

They must not have mandatory checkpoints where you are, either.

The vast majority of CO does not have taxis/Uber/Lyft/public transportation, correct?

Clearly you’ve never lived in a city that doesn’t have access to lyft, uber, or taxis. Or alternatively a rural community. Driving while impaired is bad, but I’m not impaired after two drinks. This is a stupid rule to punish non-Mormon fun havers.

If this was truly about public safety, mass transit would operate until 3AM, and taxi or ride share operators would be subsidized.

I’m disapointed. For a second I thought the punishments were actually going to be upped to be a more appropriate deterrent or at least a remediation for people who have demonstrated a lack of self control.

Yeah but the law is written on a bunch of plates that only the governor can read, so no issues here.

Seriously. Even at their starting price, with the warranty this is a screaming deal for someone that just needs reliable transportation for the next decade. You’ll rarely find a car that costs you $1k (or less) a year, especially with a guarantee that it won’t cost you more.

Right now my local dealer is offering up to 4k in rebates on the Mirage (I just checked) now you’re looking at a 6-7k car with a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. That doesn’t mean much to us on this site, but for a lot of people that makes a lot of difference.

I can say that the worst car today is far better than the cars from the early ‘70s in which I learned to drive. That ‘71 Ford station wagon was a giant POS...
