I would recommend: (1) exercise mat, so you don’t get sweat all over the place; (2) a heavy kettlebell (say, 44 lbs or 53 lbs), for squats, russian KB swings, romanian deadlifts, bent over rows; (3) pair of dumbbells (25 or 30 lbs) for strict press, push press, floor press, curls, split squats; (4) jump rope for…

Used 2006 Volvo S60R.  Available as stick shift, nice suspension, safe, can be practical (4 seats), and fast.  Otherwise just get a motorcycle (2014 Honda Interceptor DLX) and use the money that you save for helmet(s) and protective gear.  It will be faster than anything else you can get, you can still find them new.

I’d rather get a brand new Porsche Boxster, or a used Boxster and use the leftover cash for a motorcycle.  But that’s just me.

Sorry dude, the proof is in the pudding.  Aston Martin is failing.  So it has not created/dominated a niche.

“unless you’re debt-free and have $1 million or more in the bank.” I’m not sure that I know many people that fit into that category. Almost everyone that I know (other then retirees) have a mortgage on their house — not because they can’t pay off their mortgage, but because of taxes (before the tax changes). As for $1…

Poor car with nice clean, classic lines, gets ruined by this owner and his awful kit.  I would not want this - no way.  Crack pipe.

Did they completely whiff on consumer testing on the grill???

Only if it has to be driven from Bermuda.

Stupid short video and a thousand cuts.  Gives me a headache.  

lol. Whelp, doesn’t matter. We’re pretty much at the other end of the tunnel. One kid in college. Middle kid will be a senior in HS and she gets the Acura. Just one more kid. Also, my coaching days are over. We’ve moved on to smaller vehicles with our dignity and self-respect mostly intact.

We have three kids and a 65 lbs dog. We need to be able to carry the equivalent of six people plus luggage and often two bikes when we go away on weekends (pretty much every weekend during the summer). I also coached a soccer team and often ended-up driving half the team to games and practices, so I needed as many…

Infiniti has both a branding problem and a product problem. First, the branding. I don’t have any idea what the brand stands for anymore. If you say “BMW”, most people might respond, German sports car/luxury. Porsche might provoke the reaction, “two seater sports car.” Lexus might be “luxury, dependable Japanese…

I LIKE shopping for cars.  Looking at them and test driving them.  I don’t entirely mind the negotiations either, especially if I’ve done my homework.  What I absolutely can’t stand is the cavalier way they waste your time.  We buy our cars with cash.  No financing, we just write a check.  Nonetheless, the dealerships…

“sticking with FWD” meaning that when others went to RWD or AWD, Acura didn’t. As for re-badged, Legend and Integra were changed enough that they had their own character. Some of the more recent Acuras did not.  

I had a 1989 Acura Integra hatchback LS. Loved it. Got rid of it after 120k miles though maybe 10+ years for a GTI. It was a great car as was the Legend. IMHO, Acura went downhill after they got rid of the Integra and Legend monikers, and then compounded the problem by sticking with FWD, getting rid of the double…

It’s a cash flow problem. Hertz doesn’t have much in terms of actual assets. I think of each car as a small cash flow machine. Money comes in from rentals, and a substantial portion goes right out to make lease payments. So long as there are rentals, there’s no additional capital needed. Right now, the company still…

Good point.

Tricky line that they’re trying to walk. They are expensive and overpriced bikes. So you can sell them perhaps by exclusivity, but mostly through brand image/marketing, meaning that you need to find customers who will pay a premium for the image. The image that H-D is trying to project is a blue-collar, rebel,…

Nice bike.

I live in Boston and bought a car from a Maryland dealer.  While it was a CPO (with a terrific warranty), I still had it inspected before I send the money.  It was very easy as I hired the local AAA to conduct the inspection and it was very inexpensive.  I was not as worried about major problems as the car was coming…
