I went on cars.com, and made sure I found a dealer with 11 (yes 11) in stock. I knew they would be motivated. I actually tried to get a fully-loaded (42k sticker) for 33, but they really couldn’t talk to me about that. That’s when I told them there was a blue one on the lot that I might be able to make work if you can…
He could have. Shakespeare could also have written ‘Live or die? Hm.’
Don’t forget the Wrangler pickup.
So, is there still hope for a productionised version of the Evos concept?
So Honda in the entirety of its engineering department could not come up with custom body panels and adapt the Ridgeline tailgate, and yet one of the Factory Five founders can do it to multiple vehicles and sell the kit to hundreds of enthusiasts?
Maybe the small cars and sedans don’t sell well because they don’t get the time, effort, advertising, etc as the trucks? Trucks are protected items in the market and have huge markups, so it’s not surprising that’s what they’re pushing.
I think auto shows matter. I actually used ours this year to gather car buying information, and then actually went and bought the car afterwards. Being able to sit in all the cars in 1 place and feel them out made a huge difference, it’s where I noticed the little things between the competition without having to drive…
Now that’s interesting. What’s the point of the small opening then?
Your right! Definitely an ICE, lol.
Right now, all I see is about $7900, but 3 weeks ago there were 4-5 for about $5.2-5.5k on cars.com. Theres also a specialty dealer in Socal which specializes in “lemon” versions for $5-6k (this was 4 years ago). The issues were fixed at the dealer and they weren’t battery related, and come with a massive warranty.…
Exactly. Throw in a Camry and a Civic into the comparison and put them all in one table.
Wouldn’t a more relevant comparison be to compare a typical truck/CUV against a similar class sedan from the same year?
I think some asterisks that showed the rate of inflation or a table of “in current USD” would be helpful here. $1.56 in 2003 is $2.11 today. So your $9.25 figure for the 2003 F-150 cost/100 miles is $13.21 vs. the $13.80 you’re paying today.
Did you forget to post a picture or are you hitting on Megan?
The driver admitted that she was looking at her smartphone instead of the road. This accident was completely the driver’s fault. Next case.
Why? Brake lights should be dedicated and red. Turn signals should be separate and amber.
Sleepy Miata, is Sleepy..( and his tongue is hanging out)
I’m not sure if it’s a “trend”, and it’s petty as all hell, but I don’t like brake light / turn signal combinations. When I see that red light come on, part of me wonders: “Is this guy slowing down with two of his brake lights burned out? (In a state without inspection requirements, this is a common occurrence), or…
Magnesium die castings. Those...don’t get tooled up quickly.
