Disagree on the F10 M5.  It’s probably the best BMW design *since* the E39 M5.

Instead of just fixing the 318ti...while you’re in there, spend the money to drop in a refreshed 6-cylinder (M52 perhaps) and a lower mileage 5-speed and renew your love for the E36/5.

Can someone explain why enjoyment of cars/car culture is a presumption of GOP status?  I am a democrat - all my voting years - but I’ve also loved cars since I can remember lining up Matchbox and Hot Wheels on my parents’ TV console when I was maybe 3-4 years old.  I am into all kinds of vehicles too; I don’t hate EVs…

I think car manufacturers are frankly too insulated.  They design for themselves, and also for their reviewers, which is also a small sample set.  I don’t think they spend much of any time listening to what “average people” think about the cars they drive.  And if they offer features that people end up taking in their…

I’m truly curious who they are marketing this to?  Is this specifically for parents that are stuck at a kid’s travel sport event and they just don’t want to be bothered to watch the game so they sit in their expensive-ass SUV with the engine idling so they can run the AC and get a massage and listen to a podcast while…

Douchecanoe.

I agree with almost all the points except for the suggested solution of selling the vehicle. The better option is to sack up and pay off/down the debt. The owner has a nice hybrid Maverick...go drive for Uber/Lyft/Doordash/etc. and send in some extra payments to the lender and get this handled.  Selling at a loss is…

Did you know that some older cities with well-established infrastructure actually custom-order smaller/narrower fire trucks to deal with narrow roads?  And tillers with crew at the rear to steer the rear of an articulating truck?  I find all of this fascinating, and agree that we should be more flexible in the US, but…

So, 15 for the track and 54 for the street for a total of 69 cars?  lol

Needs bull bar, a lift kit, and 35" tires to really make me interested lol

First of all, your screen name is terrific, so you get a point for that. And then you’re completely right on about Saab...I came here to post exactly that, but you beat me to it. Nice. And yes, having as little light inside the cabin is the best possible situation for night driving. So, if the author is a city boy and…

Whoever pays $6k for this car DESERVES to own and drive it.

The column shifter is still the best shifter for trucks.  I will die on this hill.  And a standard prindle in the center console is the most intuitive way for cars.  Column shifter allows for lots of room in the middle, and slide prindle is absolutely idiot-proof.  Rotary is annoying, and to safety proof it, they…

The car just wanted to be free.  Free from the garage it was being kept in, slowly dying.  Car depression is real.  And it’s coming for yours too!

This right here is why you get financing from another institution (bank, credit union, etc.) BEFORE you go buy a car.  So many dealerships are scummy, it’s simply not worth the risk.  And if you can’t get bank financing, you probably shouldn’t be buying the car anyway....

Can he just leave Tennessee and solve this garbage situation?

I’m wondering who will be the first to throw a giant “sequential shift lever” in the middle of the console so we can really pretend we’re rally drivers. I feel like the Ioniq 5 N already has space there for someone to install an aftermarket shifter that plugs in via CAN bus and mimics the shift paddles controls...

This would be perfect for downtown locations in large cities, so yes, in some places, it’s fine.  On any highway in America, no.

Here is my answer: Make cars last longer and be easier to keep on the road longer. To do that, make sure that all the chassis bits/pieces are not going to rust away (stop using steel for chassis please), and work on standardizing the componentry even moreso than today.
