Agreed. Many people go into college ignoring the reality it is an investment to earn money. Perhaps I’m generalizing but it seems to be an issue (most common in North Eastern states such as NY/NJ/MA) where there is a huge disparity between cost of living & income combined with an overabundance of labor.

What competition? The manufacturers sell the cars to the dealership, who then mark up the prices to sell to consumers. The only “competition” when when dealerships have to try to liquidate crappy assets. We as consumers would be better off with the manufacturers competing with us directly, and not having to pay a…

You still have an immense amount of brand competition.

Awesome. Lets get rid of the dealerships then. The sooner the better. Let’s go with the Tesla sales model instead.

Sounds like your wife is the problem, not the gas prices.

$1200 just in student loans?! That’s like $14k a year! That’s like more than a minimum wage salary! That’s like.. insane! Where did she go to school, on Mars?

Complain.

In other countries - like the UK, for instance - the highway speed limit for towing is often very low and rigidly enforced. The UK also allows significantly less tongue weight for towing vehicles. These differences are why smaller tow vehicles and higher trailer weight limits for those smaller tow vehicles are allowed…

Yup, distinct!

And most M3's will never see a race track. Get over it.

I know...but there is a REAL mechanical locker in the Trailhawk Cherokee in addition to the brake gubbins.

The badge says: “Jeep”

Everything out of both of their mouths is a complete lie. If you believe a word either says, you’re beyond help.

This is a great shot - the car looks incredible in that bright, Arrest-Me-Now red. My mom’s got an ATS 2.0T and I’ve enjoyed how pleasantly nimble and light the car feels; everything I’ve read about the ATS-V makes me lust for it that much more. I’d love to get one when I get the chance, especially in that gorgeous…

I got a ticket in my own driveway once in Worcester, MA. The ticket was for “double parking”. I challenged the ticket and received a letter back saying my request was denied because “in the officer’s professional opinion, you were double parked.”

I’ll be honest... this seems more of a reason to riot and burn down the township than the outcome of a football game.

Am I alone in thinking this is the ugliest Civic in Honda’s history? It looks like the previous Civic model had sex with a Prius.

Necessary? No, not at all. You and I know that thousands of people survive every winter in Buffalo with fwd or rwd. I’ve used both, just fine with the appropriate tires and/or driving.

Neutral: The traditional dealer system, as we know it, wouldn’t exist today if it wasn’t for laws that basically require it to work this way. Imagine using the “build your own” feature on a manufacturer’s web site, and on the summary page there’s an Amazon-like “buy now” button. After arranging financing (which you…
