Agreed; 95% of the parts you’d ever need for this thing are likely sitting on the shelf of an Autozone within a 5 mile radius of your house. And there are doubtless thousands “how-to repair a GM issue” videos on YouTube to break it all down.

Yup, here it comes... graft, kickbacks, shoddy work and labor practices that are cruel and unfair to workers. Send those non-union coal miners back underground for 10 hour shifts with no breaks, overtime or safety gear... fine by me; that’s what they voted for.

Exactly.

You've just summaries my use-case, too. 

Oh, hell no. At least yesterdays mini Mercedes wore its tuner-level badges legitimately. This thing is an absolute poser/faker/loser car, and it’s overpriced, too. 

Fines that they’ll never pay? These guys should be doing jail time, and a lot of it. 

Sorry, but it’s too angular and that lends a sort of cheap look to it. Honestly, if this exact car was released by Tesla and called the CyberSedan we'd all be hating on it. 

Not actively looking as we’re happy with a Maverick and Miata right now, but if an meteorite fell from the sky and destroyed either one of them, I’d be interested in checking out a Mach-E or Rivian R3.

Ironically the new buyer will probably just store it away in some warehouse or garage and the car will continue to not be enjoyed. 

I agree with most of these, except the RAV4 — that’s the perfect vehicle for everyone’s sister. Can’t go wrong recommending it.

IT’S NOT FOR EVERYONE BUT —I could see a very limited use case for something like this: as an alternative to a fancy golf cart for someone living in a retirement area (The Villages?) or someone that wants to tow this dinghy behind their RV. So if that’s you, nice-enough price for something clean and unique. So…

I was about 14 back in 1984 and my dad, fresh off a divorce from my mom, let me buy a Honda ATC 125 (I think that was it — basically a 110 with an electric starter) with my saved up money. Rode it around in on trails in upstate New York with friends that had similar ATCs. Flipped it a few times, crashed through some…

Well, spend a a week in a Costco 24/7 with hundreds of other people and I bet you’ll get sick, too. Or fly every day for a week.

Whatever the hell he was, he wasn’t a hero. Sad if this is what mental illness and/or PTSD does to someone, and we can all have our own political beliefs, but anyone that praises these kinds of actions is horrible.

I’m torn. On one hand I really liked the original Xterra. On the flip side, is there that much of a market for a another chunky, presumably gas-guzzling SUV? Seems like Jeepers are always going to Jeep, Toyota zealots are always going to stick to the Tacoma, 4Runner and LC, the Bronco thrill is dying down, and — the…

Yes, but those MAGA guys don’t know it. 

Word.

I’m giving it a nice price because they just don’t make ‘em like this anymore. This one is clean and it should keep you on- (and occasionally 0ff-) the road for another 50-100K miles for about $10k. The only other way to get an SUV about this clean and capable is to spend $35K plus on something new. Sure you won’t…

Sadly, now as a nation we all get to support him with our tax dollars and natural treasure that’s going to steal/funnel/appropriate into his pocketbook via all his contacts and contracts. The money he loses in Tesla sales will be little more than a rounding error.

If this story isn’t a metaphor for our future, I don’t know what is...
