Yep there’s a reason why people are willing to even go so far as to buy a car they can’t even physically see or touch, just to not deal with the gimmicks dealerships go through.

Basically, they're selling to "influencers", most do this. They don't give 2 sh*ts about brand passion, they care about name dropping people who own them, meaning celebrities and billionaires known for collecting classics or showing off extravagant lifestyles.

Nah, aside from one car the rest are a sign that people don’t want cars that are known to have problems and charging way too much, crossover or not, it’s been a long time coming for most and hopefully they’ll learn from it.

A Jalops like to yell at me: “get a garage!” Yeah oil changes do suck in the wind, otherwise they’re easy peesy, and I’d never trust sucking out the oil on something like a car, you still have to get under the car to change the filter anyways, and tire rotations are either the same or more often frequency of oil…

True. This is why I really was hopeful on self-driving cars, but unfortunately I didn’t think they’d just shove them on the normal roads, and now there’s a massive risk of fully automated vehicles not being a reality on the roads at least for a long time, as a few faulty strategies and unfortunate accidents have…

Hey, don't knock the support group, gotta do something while you're waiting for your vehicle to get repaired...

Can FCA make a vehicle that doesn’t have almost a dozen recalls within the first few years and isn’t known for reliability issues?

Aahahahaha

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve taken a train for actual travel, and even then I think I’ve only done it like 2 or 3 times, but I enjoyed it, but they also took less than a day. But yeah I see no advantage over a flight when the cost is so high, especially if the trip is so long that you’d pretty much need to…

Those who lead MRAs are usually social punching bags may have something to do with it. I mean, it's not like any prominent or intelligent person is known for leading an MRA group, it's usually sniveling whiney neck-beards and alt-right asshats, so there's not much of a better fit for it than Milhouse.

I have small hands and normal pockets, the Pixel 2 XL fits me fine.

Yes, a courtesy by a person. These may be business entities but they’re run and owned by people, and they’re “discourteous” to say the least by not giving advanced warning on a planned layoff. If the company is hemoraging money, by all means there’s often no choice, but giving good, performing employees who are making…

It bothers me because there are alternative methods to prevent it. They’ve managed to fix rusting on pretty much all other parts but still the calipers and rotors tend to be simple steel.

Theres plenty to take Scotty with a grain for salt, but mostly it’s his opinion and he’s mostly not off base, and does a lot of really good stuff, and occasional bad stuff. Like Jalopnik. Because ethis article is mostly shit and Mercedes are shit nowadays, that’s just the fucking reality. Every organization that…

Boring is in the eye of the beholder. I have a standard automatic transmission Civic, it’s not a “fun” car but I also enjoy the hell out of it. There’s zero real flaws with the thing, so it’s definitely what I’d consider to be honest to goodness boring. That’s a hell of a difference from bad and obnoxious cars, of…

I mean I agree with the premise hut could you pick worse examples of “boring” cars? There’s a world of difference between a boring and practical vehicle (Accord, standard Civic, Camry, Corolla, Mazda5, etc), and a total shit vehicle like the Cruze.

Yeah that’s the problem with a lot of these flip out holders, weird sizes and a bit flimsy, fine for secondary so long as it’s not the primary cup holder. I prefer solid ones in the molding near the main armrest with a retracting cover, and built in ones on the doors for extras (I travel a lot so mulitple holders in a…

My Cadillac has similar in the rear seat armrest, eh they work fine, but those look even flimsier than the ones I have, definitely don't put a larger drink like a big gulp in that shit. I much prefer built in cup holders with retractable covers instead, more stable. 

Ive got to be honest, I don’t even understand modern vehicle classifications anymore. There are so many wagon-ish/hatchback-ish/”crossovers” I can’t really tell where one class begins and the other ends. Reminds me of arguing over super small music genres, “that’s not post-hardcore screamo, it’s mathcore with a slight…

Or the flip, my brother is 6'3, like 80% (exaggerating) is leg, friggin nothing fits him right, his legs smash into dashes even in medium SUVs with the seat pulled all the way back, basically full size trucks and large SUVs fit him. Should have seen him try and get into my Civic, I think his knees were higher than the…
