Fine. I’ll take the hood ornament too. 

Only if parked in the wrong neighborhood.

I was about to make a joke about hiding the plates when the VIN is viewable to all, but he’s made up the VIN. And that’s enough for me to say that I’m just not interested in working with this seller. ND.

Can I just have the headlights? 

KBB value is completely meaningless for something like this. It barely means anything for cars that are actually common. It’s worth whatever someone will pay for it, and the Internet makes it a lot easier to find that special someone who really, really wants it.

Jalopnik will never recommend a Tesla because they are not able to separate the politics from the car.

I love MkI/MkII VeeDubs. And this one contains a nice bit of kit. While I’d love to drive this one to enjoy what I liked about these lightweight pocket rockets one more time, $18 grand is just too much for me to spend for a fleeting 35 year old nostalgia kick.

I’d rather be a loser than complicit in genocide.

Even other “off road” capable trucks would have a hard time in that situation. Just another example of, just having money doesn’t make you intelligent.

Volvos are wonderful cars that suck. I owned 2 of them, and I worked at a Volvo dealership for 10 years. I still miss my S90 T6 Inscription, but I’m also pretty clear eyed about how often it was in the shop for warranty work. It was pretty infuriating. And being on the inside, I know it wasn’t just my particular car,…

Toyota in the standard of reliability and nothing else. The driving experience and materials are awful and the only reason 90% of buyers put up with them is because the cars run forever and the owner hates driving anyway.

Interchange is also much lower in Canada , a card transaction that costs 3% here is going to be closer to a 1% fee in Canada.  So there isn’t as much to bake in.

The dead dinosaur industry gets trillions in subsidies. If we removed subsidies from both gas and electric cars, the electrics would win instantly, both because they’d be cheaper, and they are the superior technology.

The headline uses a really misleading statistic. The car STARTS with 73% of EPA range based on their undisclosed black box criteria. If you look at the actual article, it shows that Tesla’s average 90% of its battery capacity after 3 years- right in line with your car.

The required sample size for 99% confidence on a population of 1 million is just over 16K, or about 1.6% of the population.

BothSiders are the worst. It’s the clearest black vs white binary choice in election history. STFU and vote Blue. 

if you’re registered head to a poll (and don’t vote GOP), if you’re eligible and not registerered, register asap. No matter what grief you have with Biden or the dems (and many griefs are legitimate) not voting and not voting dem have short and long term consequences that we can not take lightly. 

So yeah, screw this crap. I have no problem paying with cash—you see it flowing out of your fingers so the expense hurts like it should—as opposed to adding that expense to the credit card total as you “painlessly” roll it over and keep paying interest on the balance. Duh—cash is king.

I’m with you on this. I’ve owned a few. Most recently a 10 year old CX-5 with 110K miles that has been bulletproof save for a leaky wiper fluid reservoir... and yesterday I charged the a/c for the first time ever. Most models are still made in Japan which I think helps with quality. It’ll be interesting to see how the…

I’ve owned more toyotas than mazdas, and I’ve also had a couple of subarus. I’ve never had a lick of trouble from a toyota or mazda, and issues with a modern subaru are few and far between. But, the attention to detail and thoughtful design behind mazda put them above the rest in my book. Smart cruise control, apple…
