Why, in this day and age of instant access to information, are people still getting suckered into paying scammers with gift cards?

This checks out.

I know the used car market is a bit crazy right now, but C’MON!

Was this during the day? That’s when I see it the most. 

As much as I like these cars, and it seems to have every option (look at that navigation system!), it’s way too much money for an 11 year old car. It’s probably worth more due to the major service it has and condition, but it’s still $2-3k over what it should cost, regardless of “the market”.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand you just jinxed yourself.

Honestly, everything was fine overall until about April. Traffic had increased, but wasn’t pre-pandemic levels. I wasn’t seeing a lot of poor driving, although it seemed like everyone was driving slower and had their high beams on 24/7 for some reason.

You’re just NOW finding out about this?! This was a saving grace for me last year.

Your lede picture. Have them on my ST and they are amazingly good. I’d rather have them than BLIS, to be honest. 

Depends on the company I think and location. Hertz seems to keep lower mileage cars as the several I’ve rented over the years have always been well under 20,000. The few Enterprise cars I’ve had through insurance all have had 40,000 or more on them. That’s way too long for a rental car and it showed.

My wife had two Honda CR-Vs (2001 and 2006) that we put 160k on before they each developed mechanical problems. The A/C and front brakes were on their way out, the 2006 developed a horrible driveline wobble above 60.

Things are fine here in Central Ohio. Prices went up, but I was able to fill up all my cars this week without any issues. Every station I pass it open and operating as well. 

So many questions......

A front splitter lip made with that rubber garage door seal you buy at Home Depot. Bunch of my friends did it back in the mid-2000s and it looked so cool for like $10.

Definitely a NP. Put this next to that Lincoln from yesterday and you’d have a nice little retro garage for $15000.

Needs to be about 3-4 inches lower. 

DCTs are in most cases very good. I’ve always enjoyed VWs version of it. On the other hand, they were awful in the Hyundai/Kia SUVs a few years ago. Almost as bad as the Focus/Fiesta PowerShifts.

My kid would freak out if she saw this. 

The problem is that most automatics are geared toward fuel economy, so even a semi-decent driver would be able to shift faster. I get to try out a lot of different vehicles, and outside of performance/sports cars, most automatic transmissions are incredibly slow to downshift more than one gear.

No, you heard Denis Leary.
