I like this thinking. This is the animal spirit of jalopnik. It’s the built not bought ethos but out there on a wing and a prayer that maybe you won’t have to do the built part. And if you do, I mean, if you really had to, you could always just LS swap it with a junkyard V8. No one would know unless you opened the…

If Tinder was a physical thing, this is what it would look like. 

“When an emergency vehicle is behind you, what should you do?” Definitely a basic driving question but judging by what I see actually happening on the streets of my city, not as straight forward an answer as you would hope.

This didn’t disappoint. And I mean, you’re probably not wrong about the Cybertruck but really, this screams crypto bro house. It was going to be epic, bro, but now it’s for sale without having been lived in after he got rug pulled and lost everything.

Who just sits there and accepts their fate? There was an obvious solution.

Remember them well. After we were done riding and rolling them we’d go play lawn darts. Good times.

End the Rav4. What are we at now, 30, 40 years? I have no clue. But everywhere I look is a Rav4. I don’t even care if it’s a good vehicle or not, I’m sick of looking at them. Make something else FFS.

“Thank you in advance for your consideration and your time reviewing this asset.” And with binders full of maintenance and repair records, good luck in your future endeavors.

Small block up front and you got yourself a nice lookin t-bucket.

Oh not to worry. The number of these on the road will go down through inevitable attrition. They’re too fast, with too much power for what they are; a big bulky and top-heavy SUV. Most of these will be taken into a corner way too fast within the first year or two of ownership and roll. I’m not saying I’m happy about…

Staying with the theme, I once rented a Jeep Wrangler as a novelty ride for a day trip. Good lord man, how do you people who own these things do it? I mean I’ve owned pickups and sports cars and all kinds of vehicles over the past 40 years or so that objectively had shitty fuel mileage, but I’ve never driven anything…

I can’t even begin to express how much “nope” I feel about getting into a remotely operated “autonomous” cab.

Looks bulky and disproportioned. Almost lazy like they just chopped the roof off and said, yeah good enough. The front view looks like a fat Polaris Slingshot and this particular two-tone color scheme is too busy and doesn’t seem to work with any lines on the car. Beholder and all that, I guess. 

You can’t just strap the lumber down without saying “that’s not going anywhere”.

I can’t even begin to explain how goddam cool that stereo system is. What happened to us? It’s worth the current $80K bid alone.

Article about leaded gas is immediately followed by a story headlined as: Customer Tells Dealer They Are Underwater $29,000 On Car Loan And Willing To Accept A $2,500 Monthly Payment On A New Mercedes-Benz

Sooo, are we supposed to have sympathy for them?

Who is willing to risk $95,000 (or more) on a flood-titled Urus? Are there that many YouTubers with automotive rebuild channels? Are there that many influencers who need a luxury backdrop? If you actually have money, then you wouldn’t be caught dead buying something like this. And if this is the only way you can buy…

As a prior owner of both 2^nd and 3^rd gens, this gives me lipstick on a pig vibes. If you’re selling this, and for this much money, in theory the oil pan and fuel pump leaks should be easy fixes to scratch off the “cons” list. Why then are they selling it without doing the “easy” fix? The car looks good but so did the 3…

Nissan Altima. It’s a meme, and not a good one.
