First, I think the argument that we don’t need something that would be really useful during or after a national or global catastrophe, because there hasn’t been one yet, sounds pretty fucking stupid. Like that’s what the dumbest asshole in the disaster movie says in the first 15 minutes. We can talk about the odds, or…

until the replacement sensor immediately breaks like the first one did.

lol come on. 

I’m not seeing your numbers.

Least expensive config for an X1 with premium package (Enterprise Rent-A-Car White on the outside, Piano Gloss Black on the inside, etc) is $46,725 msrp. I believe that includes destination but the site doesn’t make that clear. Add another $700 to get the heated steering wheel and Driving…

Oof what a shame.

Maybe the insurance was for the whole event covering lots of situations like injury or whatever and made it worth buying. That’s all I can think.

An X1 with comparable features to a Hornet GT Plus costs 20% more and if financed will be at a higher APR. And the X1 is slower. 0-60 times aren’t everything of course, but tend to be important to people considering a Dodge. I’d be more than willing to give up a half-second to 60. But feature-wise, the base X1 is…

I’d buy a Hornet if there wasn’t so much online about how many issues buyers have had. A few months ago they were offering 0% APR for 84 months. That might be $6k off right there, I didn’t bother to do the math. I know there aren’t very many people that are looking for a tiny CUV with over 250hp and ventilated seats,…

That wasn’t your original point, that’s just what you decided to talk about instead now.

I think the ordinance that increased quality of life in NY the most is the one back in the 70s that banned honking your car horn unless there is real danger. Before that people used to just lay on the horn in traffic because they were cranky or sweaty or for no reason at all. People complaining about this car exhaust…

No one has ever bought a Chevy Equinox — or any other compact crossover for that matter — based on how well it drove and how quick it was.

There were only 2 comments on here when I went to type about my Grasshopper, and you were already here lol. I’ve wanted an RC car big enough for me to drive for about 40 years.

Fines are supposed to be punitive, not just an Ahole Fee, right?

Manhattan is not an established extra-loud Lamborghini area. Recycling the “don’t buy a condo over a live music venue and then try to shut it down” argument is lazy and doesn’t apply. Enough people living there complained enough to have a noise-limiting ordinance passed. It was passed in 2021 and went into effect in…

Deleted comment because someone else already said it.

I hope they all do it, for your sake. But I don’t want to ever take my fob out of my pocket for anything ever again. I’d have it implanted if I could.

Nah, there’s nothing wrong with this. It sold for $14k, which isn’t utterly insane. I imagine some person I don’t have much in common with is super excited about it, and good for them.

Yes it affects me, it’s irritating and inconsiderate. The new charger’s sound is mostly outside and a little inside. It comes from a speaker outside of the cabin, like a horn or a security alarm. So it’s still not okay. It’s something an asshole does. Like wearing a lot of perfume at work or farting in an elevator. 

Lovely car, batshit price.

I don’t have a way to charge an EV at home, there’s no electricity where I park.
