Wait, wut?

Wealthy SUV buyers who want to spend their money in subtle-very subtle-ways, since 99% of the driving public will think it’s a Sequoia.

I see what you did there.......nice.

When the first line of a story is “after”, ideally shouldn’t some piece of relevant information have immediately preceded it?

Outraged against pollution, so drive 2000 miles to hand-deliver something that could be e-mailed. #HippieLogic

I know, I miss him too.

In other news, Clarkson sets new world record for schadenfreude.

Man, there’s an old mechanic cliche I haven’t heard in 20 years.....

I’ve got a pretty good deal at my indie german car mechanic that we’re both comfortable with. His normal labor rate is $98/hour, but if I bring my own parts, it’s $120 per hour. Likewise, he warranties the part and the work if he supplies the part, versus I bear the risk of the part failing if I supply it.. Seems…

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you mkbruin, the only Dodge Stratus white knight on the Internets.

Exactly, and it’s insane for people to think this is more about public safety and less about money.

I’m looking at the quantitative data, not the qualitative. Would you prefer I find one with the exact same numbers that equally refute your earlier claim, minus the editorialized language that 0.0 is the “only” safe limit?

Oh look, you changed the topic of discussion.

While we’re getting on the teetotal train, with zero tolerance for any BAC, is it safe for me to assume that you’ve never driven after taking antihistamines, while texting, while drowsy, or while angry? If not, you’d be a total hypocrite, as all are more dangerous than a .07 BAC. The only difference is there’s no…

“Drinking does not constitute “one or two drinks with dinner” which will not bring you above a .05".

great article, if you ignore e30 M3's, e28 M5's, and any air cooled 911, all of which could be picked up for sub-$15k less than 3 years ago and all of which are selling for multiples of that today.

No offense Doug, but it would be incredibly useful to do a side by side running tally of what these repairs would cost for someone reasonably mechanically inclined who didn’t go to the dealer for every little thing.....for example, 5 minutes of Internet search and I found that the Vantage used the same thermostat as a…

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I’ll be watching this one closely. 2006’s have dropped regularly into the mid-upper $30’s now. I have to say though, I’m going to be disappointed if this car is 1st-gen Touareg-esque in it’s reliability. I’ve heard mostly good things in my ownership experience research.

As someone who travels to STL regularly for business, I have to say this report was being remarkably restrained and kind.

I can speak for both that I typically use......they’ll finance any car up to 10 years old, and under 100k miles. They don’t care who makes it, and they’ll finance up to 100% of NADA book value.
