He’s the Ajit Pai of the car world. His face just looks so punchable.

You’re an idiot.

I can already hear the indignant customers in a Toyota service center “b-BUT THIS IS A TOYOTA! DO YOU SEE THIS BADGE?

>So perhaps this is just a matter of technicians using too much sealant, and it clogging oil passages? That seems like a fairly simple issue.

“Splitting the bill” now apparently means buying a design and putting your software on it. Oh, and different body panels, who could forget about toyota body panels? They did the same thing with the 86, and I guess I shouldn’t complain because it does mean more sports cars are available... but at the same rate if there…

The T5 is an amazing sounding engine... certainly would like one of these in the future. 

Considering the F-150 with either a 5.0 or the 3.5 will be able to pull anything a non CDL issued person would need towed, it doesn’t make sense to buy a $50,000, used, modified truck. 50 large will get you a brand new F-150 with the 3.5 ecoboost. While it isn’t rated for it, I know from personal experience that in a…

Fair counterpoint. 

That’s about 8 miles a day in a year. Consider a bicycle. No insurance, no fuel cost.

Waiting for them to do something retarded like suddenly deciding to rename it a 3000gt cross... or even better a 3000gt crosscoupe.

$7k to buy. In this price range fuel is going to be the largest running cost within a few years of driving. While I’m not saying it’s a bad choice of a commuter car, it certainly isn’t the best if money is your main concern, and let’s face it if affordability wasn’t a concern you’d have bought something newer.

You say it’s undermined, but Syrio Forel told her in S1 that there’s only one thing that you say to death: “Not today.”

Surely the dart can’t have been that bad. It rides on the same platform as an alpha Romeo guiletta (pretty sure I botched that), and my brother’s dart, which he admittedly sold while upside down, seemed like it rode well enough. That’s an Alpha for dodge money, which is a very similar reason you buy a charger (early…

A new car that has been sitting with the same oil in the crankcase from the factory. All of the additives broke down after about 6 months and all of the condensation that built up from the 8 heat cycles the engine went through has created enough caustic liquids for it to not even be worth it at this point.

NP at half the price, if it was actually stock, and the interior wasn’t messed up. As it stands, there are plenty of lightly used performance cars at 16k that will be more reliable, safer, have more features and faster. Hell, 16k (since no bank is going to finance that) would get you a 1st or 2nd gen Miata, rebuild it…

I’m not in the camp that thinks it’s always wrong to preserve cars by not turning everyrare exotics into a daily driver.

Cooler is subjective. These cars compete in the exact same sphere though, sport compacts and while the Fiesta is newer and likely has better materials I’ll cede that there’s no nostalgia factor in its favor. Either way, I’d rather have the fiesta, but I’d get why someone would buy a 93 civic si if it didn’t cost…

It could be a sub $200 fix, without actually looking at it you really can’t rule out a harness/wiring issue which can be a lot more costly as if a wiring harness is damaged the odds of other electric issues cropping up intermittently goes up exponentially.

No, it won’t. In 5 years with over 100k miles it’ll be worth maybe 5k. If it was stock and low odometer, sure it could appreciate. But there’s no way your 3 owner 122k mike Honda with inop door locks is appreciating by 100% in 5 years.

Fiesta ST, on the used market, go for 12k all day. I bought a CPO Fiesta ST with 40k miles for 12.8k. That’s 37 more horsepower, at least double the torque, all of the driving fun, a Bluetooth enabled stereo, and a warranty for not much more than a 20 year old car with problems.
