Don’t forget blocking off downtown roads into pedestrian-only districts, which killed even more businesses.  People wanted to be able to pull up and park in front of stores, not in a central garage and walk.  That’s what happens when you try to build pedestrian districts with no investment in public transportation. …

I’d just like to give a shout out to Vinnie, who would drive a full sized school bus in NYC traffic like he was full of Big Altima Energy. (And this was years before Big Altima Energy was even classified and categorized.) 70mph on the Major Deegan. Hell yeah!

My wife grew up riding in VW busses (not a hippy, cheapest thing her parents could get with enough room for 4 kids in the 70s).

Ask her about 5 hour car trips across the length of New Mexico with no AC and going 50 mph (top speed loaded) the whole way.

She laughs when she sees the prices for which these sell today.

CEO Carlos Tavares prepares to travel to Detroit

If you go by dollars/pound, the M5 Touring is really quite reasonable.  

It’s a Maserati. Wait 10 years and find it on FB marketplace for $25,000, like every other Maserati. :-)

It’s also the perfect vehicle for explaining modernism vs. post modernism. (One of the all time best RCRs.)

How is this different than the legacy carriers with 3 different types of economy, extra fees for refundable/transferable, bag fees, etc.?

Ccompletely agree. I had a $750 1990 manual Cavalier coupe for a few months before it died. Total hoot.  

It doesn't really exist, it's just a . . . . Mirage.

Search FB Marketplace for “Maserati” and “Under $20,000". The depreciation is amazing. Like, hey, wouldn’t it be fun to RallyCross a Maserati amazing.

Do Mentos count as a PED?

If the 2002 Forrester currently works for room, with size inflation, the Crosstrek is now around the size of the 2002 Forester. You can get one with the bigger engine nicely equipped for under $35,000.

If your use allows for an EV, I’d rather have this for a lot less.

Watch out for the Rodriguez brothers!

Penis Patriot!!

I’m highly suspicious of any ad for a 540 which doesn’t mention timing chain guides. Either means the owner doesn’t know how important they are or is hiding something.

Both my old cars (see my handle) have working AC.

The Honda Pilot is a box for Dad jokes.

Now we just need the game SUVs vs. Semis, where you launch Escalades to try to hit passing trucks.  Can you hit the jump just right?
