It’s really not surprising. I imagine the impound storage fees are at least $500 probably more, and might have to be paid in cash requiring proof of ownership that you aren’t allowed to get to if you keep it in the glove compartment. Then often thousands of dollars in damage, some of which is the type that makes the…

Man Lexus really ate Buick’s lunch in that niche. 

Company cars only make sense if the company is big enough to get a fleet-type discount that saves them money over just giving everyone a car allowance. Or if they need specialty vehicles. Sounds like this guy’s company is way too small right now for company cars and he’s not hauling parts or tools or bulky displays etc…

Not enough of one. The Focus and Fiesta developed terrible reputations here because their horribly designed automatic transmission made the cars miserable and dangerous. Ford couldn’t fix it and told people they didn’t know how to drive. They would just claim they re-flashed the firmware and give the cars back to the…

The solution is to get a better divorce lawyer. In Texas, the default orders on a divorce petition would obligate her husband to keep making the car payment and whatever other living expenses he has been paying until it’s final.

Wouldn’t cheaper gas lengthen the payoff period?

Kind of sounds like what you want in a new car is an old car.

Yeah it’s Flex vs Frugality. His advice even sucks for NYC, because absolutely fucking nobody that lives there needs to be told anything that he said. They either don’t bother with a car or they need one for work or they want one and decided it was worth the cost to them.

I just don’t want a car with sound effects. I can make my own. But I don’t like simulated shift points on CVTs either. Posing is sad to me. I know exhaust systems have been tuned for sound for probably a hundred years but I draw an admittedly arbitrary line at needing a speaker or making performance objectively worse…

It’s hard. Nobody wants to spend their Vegas money on the flights and it’s driving distance. Southwest runs from Burbank to Vegas for 49 bucks. I call that flight “The Sinbad” because he was always on it lol.

Does this mean Ford is going back to making cars? Or does “small” EV just mean a smaller crossover than the Mach E?

I have to assume there is an aero effect that increases range on-road. Still ridiculous but sounds like a compromise Tesla would make.

It’s Sunny Isles, not Sunny Isle.

It can be both, and often is. What are you, a cop?

Sunny Isles, FL is not DC. It’s unlikely that Barney Fife there has ever seen a diplomatic plate.

Wouldn’t a 100% tariff violate international trade law?

THIS IS
AUTOSHOP!

My little early 90s Ford Ranger was dangerously slow, but I treated that engine like absolute dog shit and it never let me down. Can’t fault the Lima for Ford’s priorities.

Come on, it’s been 35 years since NYC subway cars looked like that. Be fair. As you can clearly see in the background of the video of all of the fighting and stabbing and shooting, the metro is much nicer now.

As long as it doesn’t collide with Lotus and drag them both down the drain I’m ok with that.
