I’d pick Edison, only because I’m assuming that means we can finally be rid of Trump’s personality and only left with his body, containing Edison’s mind. Though I’d rather have Tesla over Edison, also losing Trump should be considered a win. Thus, Edison is a win-win.

Do your own farts smell better in the Model 3 or a Prius?

Unless the crossover fad dies, we’re never going to get more than one or two moderately priced sport wagons in NA. Americans have proven time and time again they’re OK with anemic engines and medium to large-sized SUVs. I’m assuming BMW, Audi, Jag and MB can afford to offer true wagons because they make a ton of…

Can you even put chains on a BRZ? I would take my FWD MS3 up to the mountains with snow tires, but down here in Tahoe they require chains on non 4x4 vehicles in certain parts. I can’t fit chains due to wheel size and low clearance, so we end up taking our 15 year old Outback instead.

Of course, that’s coming from a person whose first time driving in real snow came on a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere.

Can we do a wagon round-up for MY 2018 one of these days? There’s a pretty decent lineup, ranging from the Golf Sportwagen all the way up to the E63 AMG. I’d like to see how the new offerings compare to used - I’m in the market for a new car, but am having a hard time deciding between New/Certified with the comfort of…

Yeah but the JB4 tune that gets you to 234 hp and 273 ft-lb is running 93 octane. With 91 the JB1 tune will get you up to 207 hp/238 ft-lb, which is definitely respectable, but it’s nowhere near the Jag’s factory 380 hp. You’re not going to ‘dust’ anyone with that kind of power, though it’ll make this totally…

Used CTS-V Wagons seem to fall nicely in between the Stinger and the Jag. Though I’m not sure someone looking at a $40k Kia will fork over $50k for 4-year old Cadillac with no warranty... I’d still take the Cadillac.

When I was in college and knew nothing about cars apart from what Top Gear showed me, I changed my own oil once. Didn’t reference a single piece of manufacturer material or ask anybody for help (my Uncle showed me once so I was an expert). I was successful, until about a week later when the car began running like…

Interesting. I lived in OR until I was 22 and we always used Les Schwab. I use America’s Tire Store in CA now because there’s no Schwab near me, but I always thought Schwab was a good place. I’ll have to revisit now that I’m older and actually own my car.

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.
