I get how this is false advertising, and deserves to be penalized, but nobody "forced" anyone to buy anything here... All these customers were free to tell the dealer to f-off and go somewhere else.

Android Auto also allows you to use any map SW you want as well... I have Google Maps, Waze and GaiaGPS all loaded in as options...

“I don’t expect to be able to fill my car with gas at the dealership.”

I have not had my phone in my hand while driving for at least 10+ years, probably more... it has been in a cradle on my dash (with Bluetooth or wired audio connection to stereo in some Subarus), or in the cubby under the infotainment system (Focus ST, android auto), or center console cubby (V60, android auto). That…

Not only do 80% of truck owners never really need a truck, but that they will tell you they get one to help friends move or pull someone out of a ditch, and then cannot be found on moving day and drive right past everyone stuck in said ditch.

Agree, and just put my $$$ where my mouth is and bought a new Volvo V60

Yeah, the bus is cool, but what is up with this...???

You need to Lotus your life... Simplify, and add lightness ;-)

But hold on to the (soon-to-be) wife, she sounds like a keeper (and congrats!).

As for me, I am progressing well with recovery and am now down to just a Focus ST (soon to be gone) and a Volvo V60 (my methadone).

I did not need this... I was already struggling with recovery...

Your real problem is you have too many cars... if you got rid of most of them, you would also have far fewer car problems...

Suprising that Ford is so heavy into this, as they don’t actually sell any cars in the US besides the Mustang. I wonder how they think rallying in the US will translate to additional f150 sales beyond what they already do today? Or are they hoping the continued push towards hybrid/electric vehicles in WRC will drive…

I just scored a 2021 Volvo V60CC for 10% off MSRP. Technically sold as new, but was service loaner with approx 2k mi on the clock. This was the only time a dealer ever told me “I have 4 or 5 other buyers lined up so if you don’t buy today, it will be gone tomorrow” that I actually, truly believed them.

Good tires far and away above anything else... Regardless of your goals (better handling in snow, better wet or dry handling, comfort, noise, fuel efficiency, etc), good rubber will give you the most gains per dollar spent and should be the FIRST mod anyone makes.

For pure aesthetics, replace tires with wheels...

Most people don’t even take their Jeeps to the local off road park, Moab or the Rubicon...

I can say that I am Honda’s target audience... I fish every weekend in the mountains in CO. 90+% of my drive is on pavement, with the last 2-10 miles being a dirt road. I do this in my Focus ST, and so far, have not gotten…

I once made the mistake of installing eBay coilovers on my old Impreza... In Maine... In the winter... Lowered it about 2" or so, but felt like it was simply sitting flush on the pavement. Ruined the handling in dry weather... made it so I felt every crack in the road, and felt like I needed to see the chiropractor…

Back in HS, I had a couple friends who would do this with twinkies or snowballs or other junk food with creamy centers, to see it splat all over the other car. One evening they happened to hit the ADA’s car while she was driving home from work. They ended up with 30 hours of community service and an order to not…

Please come teach my wife. I have tried, and tried, and she just refuses to actually drive the stick shift after we spend that 30min in the parking lot.

It all came to a head in Feb of 2020 when I injured myself skiing with her. We had taken my car, and now my left leg was in a brace, and my right hand in a cast. She…

That’s nothing... I upgraded a 2012 era PC in March of last year from an old Core i7-960 to a new i7-9700k ( I am cheap, so bought last gen stuff at the time), along with MB, RAM, SSD... everything except the dual 670's. I wanted to spread the spend over time and figured with 3000 series cards coming soon I would save…
