10 hours a week. Amateur. Try spending 40 hours a week in a mid range Chevy Cruze that’s subject to mechanical moods swings.

No need to hate on the Cascada. It should’ve been an easy hit, since Chrysler killed their convertible. Maybe it was the name. Or the million buttons on the dash.

Ford also tried to put the Mustang on a FWD Mazda chassis, but enthusiasts complained.  And isn’t the next Mustang supposed to be based on the new Explorer chassis?

Porsche is part of the VW group, so yeah you can predict the Taycan’s reliability.

Can we just do away with the entire concept of “build and price?” Unless you are prepared to wait 3-4 months to actually spec out your future ride, you are just wasting your time “building” a car on the website, when you’ll never find that exact car on a dealer’s lot anywhere. You know who builds the cars: either a

My niece lives in Massachusetts and is doing a similar conversion and is also registering her bus in Vermont for the exact same reason, to be able to drive it around to get the conversion done. Some states make it too damn hard to just exist.

Soooo, what you’re saying is is that I can buy another 2006 Ariel Atom next year and register it in Vermont?

The original deal with GM basically proved the fraud allegations. Nikola was essentially contracting GM to design and build the Badger pickup using GM tech, meaning Nikola didn’t have any tech of their own.

Other than any “holiday bonus cash” offer from the manufacturer, the deals are no better than any other time. Your final price is more dependent on how it personally affects the salesman and sales manager (how close they are to their personal bonuses) and on the sales manager’s mood of the day than on any holiday

The fact that the VW (and Nissan Ariya) produce literally no passion from anyone is exactly why Ford HAD to call this EV a Mustang. Just the name gave Ford the excuse to go RWD and amp up the styling beyond the basic crossover lump. That all these EV (except the Tesla maybe) depreciate like lead anvils means buying

A 2002 RSX can easily be worth $5k. But not this one.

I am not sure why Kia thinks it’s a good idea to bring the Korean market names to the US. What’s the point of starting over with all new names? It’s never worked out for the Detroit automakers

The “profit” on you, the saavy internet shopper, will be $0. This type of dealer would rather punt skin flint internet price shoppers to the curb in favor of those more easily bamboozled walk in customers, of which there are still plenty. Believe it or not, this type of internet sales approach works just fine, and

As for the paint colors, the price of anything you buy these days is no longer based on a cost of goods plus a markup. It’s all based on how much they think they can get you to pay. Which is why a 20oz bottle of soda costs as much as a 2 liter bottle at the convenience store. Which is why I was able to get a $90

Why do so many luxury brands seem to be testing the limits of their shallow buyers’ badge snobbery? One truly must demand to drive a BMW in order to be ok self-owning oneself by driving that nightmare. At least the i3 and i8 looked like they were from the future. The iX looks like a discarded design from some Chinese

A US CEO with actual concern for the employment of his workers? You don’t hear that every day.

Wait a minute. You can have the Tesla self driving feature active, but not the self STOPPING feature?? What kind of sense does that make?

Yes, call the restaurant directly and place the order. It’s cheaper for you and lets the restaurant keep all the money.

If he was able to pre-order at MSRP, and was also one of the earliest buyers to take delivery, he could probably flip it at a profit. Otherwise, no.

I’m a full time Uber driver. I wear a mask in my car at all times, even when alone, even on days I am not working. I just assume the air is contaminated.
