Dusty under the hood doesn’t bother me. If anything, a detail can hide issues like slow leaks.

eh, jalopnik themselves are pretty flexible on outrage about environmental damage, depending on to whom it’s attributed.

Thank you for this. I enjoy a good car show for whatever. There’s a guy that brings his old 80's Pontiac (a mild sport variant model) to the local show. He never wins and he knows this, but he tells a great story about his (now deceased) wife used to drive it to her work and then passed it through the family. Now it’s…

I’m glad someone here gets it. This article is basically The Problem With Car Culture. Why bother going to a car show if you’re annoyed by seeing cars you don’t like? I like seeing purple hot rods, classic Mustangs, restomod, corvettes, beaters, etc. If something doesn’t spark my interest, then I move on.

Ah cool, almost an entire slideshow about gatekeeping. Neat.

Fun fact: that spray paint that “turns rust into a paintable surface” doesn’t stop rust from continuing to eat through the metal or turn it into a paintable surface. That shot of the underside shows about 5 cans of the stuff was used.

This shit. Bonus warning for those that do this in a couple pics but at least one clearly shows the plate. If you are this dense, I don’t want to give you money.

100% if they don’t even bother to clean the interior. 

You guys really need to get IT on the phone or something because this site now not only loads VERY slowly but the comments section is also messed up. I’m about this close to stop coming here as NP or ND is about the only thing I come for anyway.

The black wheels aren't helping it.  I'd get some silver ones.

Also you get that bullet proof Italian reliability that Alfa Romeo is famous for.

I’d give a look to the Acura MDX — hits all the boxes. This certified 2022 A-Spec model is going for $44k with 32k miles for example:

There are more than enough stupid people to ensure that there are, in fact, and unlimited supply of good used cars.

A lot of people lease because it is “cheaper” as a monthly payment and thats about the extent of financial sense and planning that they have. It is impossible for some folks to think beyond the monthly or paycheck cycle because they haven’t been forced to (or rather the inverse, have been forced to think that way…

On the flip, I have seen many people constantly in a payment. Ramsey’s content is geared towards people who have no financial sense at all, usually because they have had very poor examples growing up. His strategies work when you are starting from absolute 0. For that, I’m appreciative of his content. He’s also a huge…

“Queue up pedantic know it all commenters on this article.”

I don’t agree with a lot of Dave Ramsey’s advice but you’re wrong here. They made stupid decisions and while $90k household income before taxes might be considered good money it’s not $1,200/month car payment money. They can’t afford to stick with it, which is why they called in the first place.
