A lot of people also forget that if there’s a car in another state that’s $3k cheaper than the one in your state, it’s probably worth the $200 plane ticket to fly out and take a look. Plus, then you get a nice long road trip in your brand new (or new to you) car!

I know my name isn’t Tom, but IMO your friend should just decide if the add-ons are worth the cost and gauge it against how much they drive. 39k miles for a 3-year old car isn’t high at all, but $3k on an $18k car is a lot. If the car is CPO anyway, you’ll get Ford’s 7-year, 100k mile warranty. On the Titanium, that’s…

You’re expecting a Jeep, let alone an SRT, to depreciate nearly 50% in two years with average miles? Good luck on that one. There are a TON of Tahoe’s in that range - just entry level trim packages. Here’s an LTZ that meets your parameters:

Yeah I drive an MS3 in CA, so my upper limit is about 80. This puts me somewhere above 3k RPM in 6th. I drove slower (70) for a week to see what the difference in my MPGs would be... It was significant.

I remember one day in High School driving home from the mountain behind a B5 RS4. Ever since then I’ve had a huge crush on them... I can only dream about the Avant for now

Rather than bring the WRX hatch back, they should just put the turbo 2.0 into the Impreza 5-door or the Crosstrek. I don’t understand why Subaru only offers engine upgrades on some of their models - i.e. the Outback, Forester and WRX. I would be just as happy with a Turbo 2.0 in a Crosstrek or Impreza than a Levorg.

Second, how is better to have a dangerous, untested, unsecured structure dangling over traffic and the unsuspecting public below. That’s outrageous.

He doesn’t appear to be very familiar with pre-tension vs post-tension (both of which are prestressed systems). What he describes is a pre-tension system, where you pour concrete over tensioned cables and then release them. But you don’t come back and tighten pre-tension cables - you only tighten post-tension cables;…

Certainly not helping though

Yep. Everybody below 6'-2" should have zero grievances with someone in front of them reclining. It’s economy - you’re going to feel cramped regardless. Just take a deep breath and I’m sure you’ll survive.

Was behind a Tesla yesterday in Menlo Park that was using its auto high beams. Still in the city, but not enough ambient light to activate the sensors.

God auto high-beams are f-ing stupid. High beams are NOT meant to be used ANYWHERE in the city; they were designed for rural highways at high speed but now every asshat just uses them constantly. You don’t need them if you’re driving under 45 mph period. Auto high-beams don’t detect pedestrians or bicycles, so in a…

‘obe’? FWIW I’m on your side... Was merely pointing out that of all dog breeds to be put in a smaller, warmer space (overhead bin), a French Bulldog is probably the most problematic.

They’re not air tight, though they might be air restrictive. The covers latch, but there’s no gasketing surrounding the closure which would cut off air. It’s also not exposed to sunlight, so the overhead compartment isn’t going to get any warmer than the rest of the plane. My guess is the dog already had trouble…

I’m curious of a few things... Why did the family never check on this dog during the 3 hour flight? If I leave my dog in the car for more than thirty minutes (which I only do when it’s winter, he has windows down, and the car is in the shade) I’ll check on him. Also, it’s VERY common for bulldogs and other canines…

No, you fucking asshole. ‘Retard’ is still offensive for people who are developmentally disabled and the family members of those people. ‘Retards’ are born impaired or are impaired in tragic accidents, it’s not their fault they have lower IQ’s and impaired decision making skills. My cousin has Down’s Syndrome and I’m…

Kia should use this comment section as a focus group. This is the second Jalopnik article raving about the Stinger, and yet NOBODY in here seems to want one. “It’s ugly” “No manual” “It’s a Kia”

Everybody here bashing and nitpicking the first three episodes of this season is just hung up on the fact that it’s not the same Top Gear. Which it will never be, because you can’t replace Clarkson, Hammond and May.

The people who bought these were exemplary of the type of vehicle that it was. Back in 2012, a (former) friend of mine bought a new Liberty and promptly offered to drive up to the mountain that weekend. The morning of, I got in, looked around and asked him where the 4x4 shifter was. His response? “It’s not 4x4...” I…

Seriously. Who has seen the recent headlines for Faraday and thought “Hey now that looks like a great investment!”
