I’m totally the opposite on the “they all look the same” school of thought because to some extent it’s always been that way. I can kinda pick out a Model T from a group of other cars from the era, but it’s mostly guessing. Back in the ‘50's they all had chrome, tail fins, etc., and from a distance it is hard to tell…

“Well it just goes to show you, it’s always something, you either got a toenail in your hamburger or toilet paper clinging to your shoe.”

I think about $480...for a leased Outback, but with extenuating circumstances. A few years previous my wife and I wanted to explore fire roads in the mountains and bought a used Chevy Tracker...just a couple of years old, barely any miles and reasonably priced, though we still had to finance it. Of course depreciation…

I’ll be in the market in a few months and I keep going back and forth between a Bolt and a Volt. The scenario is I’ll be living in an isolated smallish town, but with a garage where I can easily recharge from most of my driving. Either choice would work, but the trips to the city would require a charge to make it back …

I’ve been driving my daughter’s 20 yr old MDX with navigation, it’s like watching someone else play Pacman 

I’ll ask

Less of an issue these days, but whatever it takes get the alloy wheels.  Steel wheels are okay sometimes, but NEVER get the plastic wheel covers. They’re the velcro shoes of the automotive world.

Someone in our office building drives a shiny new one of these things. I’m over 6' and can’t see the top of the hood, nor can I see properly when I back out in my MDX.  I’ve never met the owner, but each time I see that truck I think “what a dumbass”

The key word is “unidentified”. If you identify it, it no longer meets the definition.  

I was with you until the three years I had to drop off my daughter at middle school. Stop and go traffic up a steep hill...every friggin day

Time to go ta cherch, enna?

You reminded me of the time I was driving a ‘12 GTI and a friend offered to let me try his old, first gen, non-turbo Boxter with Tiptronic shifting. Two days later I was still thinking about that Porsche.

I expected 50 or so people to have posted this dickish Cadillac ad. Ugh, I thank god I’m nothing like this douche.

See “Nice Price or No Dice” for illustration

a coworker told me an enlightening story about his neighbor. She wanted to reduce expenses so she traded in her Mercedes on a Kia. But because she was used to her Merc she got a higher end model with all the options, and when the paperwork was finally signed she owed more $ and was saving only 35 bucks/mo on her…

Exactly.  I thought the same with Dr Laura...they may be talkin to someone, but they aint talkin to me!

My breaking point was when the three years I dropped my daughter off at school where each day had stop and go traffic on a steep hill.  

Oooh...the 50th anniversary groupo, in a drool-proof case!

That was YOU?
