Maybe his needs changed and he doesn’t commute anymore. Maybe he now makes more money and won’t be sensitive to gas prices. Maybe he never really needed a TDi Passat at all and just liked the idea.

David Tracy: “Buy an old Jeep”

Ultravan.

I’m in the same boat. Leased 2015 Audi A3 TDI, payout of $5k. In my case, the answer was Miata. :P

Every Caitlyn who drives one of these definitely says, without irony, “I’m not a regular mom; I’m a cool mom.”

For me, it’s the ever-clumsier angry appliance styling. For both the CRV and RAV4, the first two generations looked quirky, but usefully so. Today, they look like bunkers on wheels styled by people who didn’t know when to put down the pen.

Because it is not a Minivan?

my girlfriend owns one and I despise it with a passion. It has no soul. Also despise driving it since I end up chaffeuring her since she hates driving. I am also of the opinion if I’m the one driving 90% of the time I should have the sole decision making capacity for any future vehicles. What do you think jalops? PS.…

It’s because it’s the car driven by Diane in Accounting and everyone hates Diane in Accounting.

Good question. If I were pressed in to buying a crossover today it would be the CX-5, so you are alright by me.

Where do me and my CX-5 fall on your hate list?

Less seating, less payload, an marginally better mileage than a 20yr old minivan.

Same. I have absolutely no reason to utterly despise and loathe this thing, but I can’t look at it without furrowing my brow in disgust.

I have a strange hatred of CR-V’s, RAV4's, etc. It’s irrational, and it doesn’t make sense, but it’s there.

Dogs of war and the cars they hate
With no cars, we don’t discriminate
Your new car is to be disowned
Our currency are tires and chrome
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather ‘round and haggle
For your car we will destroy and lay siege
Even our masters don’t know the web we weave

What do you know?!? Ricky Bobby was actually telling the truth!

As a wise man once said “the universe rewards hustle”

I was still sharing a 10 x 8 bedroom with my wife in my parents’ house in New Jersey.

It’s more like a stripper being passed around at a bachelor party. By the time Torchinsky gets to it, it’ll be missing paint in some areas, a lug nut fell off, oil will be seeping out of the transmission, and Patrick’s briefs will be lodged in the glove box.

COTM for that Lyft driver
