I really liked my Veloster, but the dealer experience was awful and the issues with it not cold starting really killed it for me. I found out many 2010-2016 Hyundais with a push start had a shitty sensor for the break that wouldn’t work when it got too cold out. So I was living near Chicago with a toddler and car that…

In our current political climate, the solutions that pass are often the best solutions. There will always be a better solution, but rarely a solution that 300 politicians will agree on that won’t get immediately crushed by an ever-growing list of federal judges. The ACA wasn’t the best healthcare plan, but it is way…

I’d have to live in it if I went out and got one, even if it was a mechanical miracle without issues. My wife has the firm stance that I can only buy something like a Maserati if she also gets a Land Rover. That basically turns my previous comment into needing to own 4 different cars so we’re ready when the 2 luxury…

There isn’t really a singular option that can just be turned off for a 30% macro cut that wouldn’t also have immediate, catastrophic effects on day-to-day life. The practical solutions are to continue chipping away at the sectors where a single law (like vehicle emissions) can have downstream effects. I would expect…

Why the hell is the Blazer and Lyriq even remotely comparable price wise? 

It’s the right answer. That’s the type of car that I would love to own if I had other similarly nice options to drive while the Maserati is being repaired. So need triple Maserati money to account for the other cars. The type of money where I don’t care that my 6-figure car is out of service because I’ll just take the…

Between their response to this and the car thefts, I’m really happy I didn’t even bother trying to shop Kia/Hyundai for our last 2 purchases. Just doing a basic purchase at their dealer networks can be bad enough, but it doesn’t seem like corporate cares any more about their image. 

does the Charger EV cease to have a reason to exist?

My takeaway is that everyone who is actually buying a BEV truck is too busy buying a Rivian, while people who want to participate in surveys like talking about Tacomas. 

Because the last few elections have been totally boring with absolutely no events of historical consequence...I think most Americans will just be happy if election workers don’t get attacked or capital buildings ransacked. 

Biden’s green economy talk is a very new thing for him. The whole reason he was such a shoe-in for the Dem nom is because he has such a long centrist history, with multiple votes that go against all kinds of modern progressive ideas. People were/are terrified that someone any further left would lose to Trump again.…

They are also stuck in a place where they have to keep pushing it in their primaries to get on the ticket, but then dealing with the fallout in the general elections (at least on statewide votes). I don’t think they really expected the level of blowback they’ve gotten since it passed, which is why all of the new…

He looks primed to drive off in a Corvette.

Since Roe v Wade got overturned and everyone who cried fake votes lost their election/got sued into oblivion, it’s getting a bit harder to enrage the base. Waiting for the next turd that will stick to the wall.

If you’re able to get through the car seat years with the coupe, I’d figure it was easier to keep it that way.

This and the Saturn Sky are some of those cars I routinely forget existed until I see one and go “Hey! I forgot about those! It’s a near little cars and I’d probably enjoy one” and then promptly forget it again by the end of the day. A good friend of mine had a relative who loved their Sky too, just forgettable enough…

The type of hot girl that will ruin your life is the one in the cigarette car. 

Similar age, but I went to private school, so it was land rover, jetta, and recently off lease luxury cars. However, when I hung out with my city public school friends, this was pretty accurate, except for the truck. The truck was almost spot on for the country schools, but it was an S10.

I’m not even sure why Chrysler still exists, so it may simply be part of the (apparent) plan to kill off the whole brand. 

AWD wasn’t even standard. Mine was front wheel drive, but the incentives also brought it down to $17k new, which the price market they should have been competing in all along. It was great for the econobox box it was, but I couldn’t imagine hitting that starting MSRP of $30k for anything less than a Trailhawk version.
