As an achey breakey Genxer, I’d seriously look at a Mazda GT if they made one. But I’m never going to buy a Miata. I missed my window.

MX-50CX

Yeah but it doesn’t stand for Grand Tourer. It stand for Get Them Beans.

I like this argument. And as far as halo cars go, Mazda would be getting off cheap to keep theirs around.

Yeah the 2 Door Outer Banks was what I had settled on when I was dicking around in the configurator every couple of weeks lol. When I saw that I have to step up to Badlands I was like diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicks. I wasn’t considering used when financing was at 0% but at 6% or whatever it’s sure on the table now. I’m lying,…

Not mutually exclusive, but yeah Andrea Doherty could absolutely be the daughter.

Edit: Good call, google search says she’s 36 years old. Classic.

The whole Bronco situation really bums me out. I only have room for one vehicle. I need something reliable that I can use for my long but infrequent work commutes with features like automatic transmission and adaptive cruise and lumbar support because I’m GenX and live in L.A. so traffic and long drives wear me out now…

I know this is going to sound terribly sexist, but I’m going to say it anyway. The company has been in business for around 40 years. It seems likely to me that it was run by a married couple. Maybe the mechanic husband cut deals and left Andrea out of the loop on details and obligations and then aged out and passed…

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.
