I agree with skipping this model and getting the regular Turbo with the navigation (with the much needed backup camera). That’ll get you the panoramic sunroof too, which is really nice. Since these depreciate wildly, save $10k and get a 2 year old one. These really aren’t on the hoon’s radar, so finding a clean one…

People have figured out the scam of the manufacturers charging extra for there exciting colors, only to have the dealers tell them the color won’t sell and is worth less at trade in time.

Go ahead and argue that last $300, but if they let you walk (and risk losing the sale), it’s you and not them.

If you know CT, then you know our government has no clue. We are doomed. I do love how many rats in the legislature are jumping ship and retiring, now that has become clear that the gravy train is over. Good riddance.

In Connecticut, that “dealer conveyance fee” is considered by the state to be a service fee and is subject to sales tax. So the dealers can set that fee at whatever price they want, but have to charge it to everyone so the state gets their cut.

That’s half the fun of having kids - being able to fuck with their minds.

In today’s sharing economy (as in, share other people’s stuff with other people) charging different people different prices strikes people as unfair. Is there a safe space for surge paying Uber passengers?

Maybe instead of crying about Bernie still being in the race, you should recognize that Hillary has ALWAYS been a terrible, position shifting politician. There aren’t many Democrats that are excited about her candidacy, except for some middle aged white ladies who grew up in the women’s lib movement. All the energy is…

Cue the comments about body shaming her on live tv. I’m sure the viewers could’ve survived the 2 minute weather forecast unscarred by her attire.

I see the makings of the next set of the “I bought a used luxury car at CarMax” stories.

I would say the answer to buying an extended warranty is a definite no, unless it is the Carmax warranty or a manufacturer’s own extended warranty. Other than that you are better off putting that premium into the bank and waiting for something to break.

The next revolution in computing is going to be implants, so we can just think about what we want to see and the computer will send it directly to the cerebral cortex. We will be connected to the hive mind. Then all the Apple users will be telling the Android users “Resistance is Futile, you will be assimilated.”

They’ve already researched that. Too much expense for not much gain. Maybe if the repatriation tax rate was more reasonable they would do it. Overseas profits are triple taxed - in the host country, at the corporate level when they come back to the US, and as dividends to the shareholders. How much is enough?

Beige buyers are probably the most conscientious about doing all the maintenance, which is why the truck is still going at 1,000,000 miles.

I know Honda thinks it made the new Ridgeline look more like a truck, which I guess in someways they did, but they missed what makes people want a personal use truck in the first place. That sort of rugged Marlboro man ambience. The milk toast guys that would be ok driving this thing will get talked out of it by their…

Instead of trying to bind up Uber and Lyft with the same regulatory nonsense the cab companies endure, the city council should be freeing the cab companies to be better competitors to the new companies. Of course, those rules help keep out competitors, so the cab companies are happy to pay the campaign donations to…

I’m still trying to figure out why companies like Uber and GM/Lyft WANT the total responsibility for a person’s safety from A to B, and why they want to be the owners of the vehicles that carry people around. Seems like a lot of risk.

Are people holding off their next car purchase because of the availability of Uber, or are they just not in a position to save up and buy a car?

When I see how many people haven’t mastered the simple task of pairing their phone to their car with bluetooth, I doubt the auto parking feature is getting much use.

Basically the perfect car is a nice 250hp Ariel Atom. You can get all the crazy acceleration you want, but on the highway even a regular speed feels like you’re flying.
