I’ve got 60K completely trouble-free miles on my 2019 Volvo XC60 T8 (PHEV, Turbo/Supercharged engine, air suspension, etc.) I’ve literally only paid for 6 oil changes ($110/pop) and tires ($2000 for high-end performance 21 inchers). 

Seriously, don’t the people that attend these “rallies” have jobs? Did the immigrants take them? Yet they are so financially comfortable that they can take off a few days and drive to the border for this crap? Amazing that some morons are so selfish that they can’t bear the idea of someone else coming to this country…

Just thinking of all the crowds that would kill for a one of the variations on truck like this... Economy buyers. Fleet buyers. DIYers. Overlanders. Offroaders. RV-flat-tow peeps. Municipalities. And on an on. Come on, Ford!

I would never buy a car that I have to apologize for every time it gets mentioned. And in this case I’d be overpaying. ND.

These numbers don’t make sense, at least as far as I understand income and tax deductions. I think Ceran would be well served by consulting a different accountant.

Man, if this guy made some rational choices, stuck to a plan and invested his free money in the market he could be retired at 45. But instead he’s coming from one bad automotive idea to another, trying like mad to justify each bad decision. It’s entraining, yet tragic.  Note: if you need a reliable and capable…

So bizzarre that you mention that. The only time I ever recall seeing one of these Volvos it was in the same college parking lot as a Chrysler TC. Around 1990. I guess both were aimed at that college-professor demographic. 

No dice. This was a sort-of handsome car that no one really asked for. It’s unique without being special. 

I don’t know that it was staged -- he kept making little adjustments to the steering wheel. Regardless, the death penalty should apply for things like this. 

It will be interesting to see what ultra-insecure billionaire will buy this for $1M in 30 years. I mean really, why? To show you’re the last living Trumper that hasn’t given every dollar to his legal defense fund? To prove you’ve got the tiniest tool? So you can hate-burn gasoline at $100/gallon? 

Well, that’s nothing that a Dremel and a cut-off wheel can’t fix. 10 minutes per wheel and you’re back on the road. 

“ The girl of your dreams enjoys farting in her own hand and licking it.”

If Elon wants to move the incorporation out of  DE without shareholder and board approval -- and quite frankly, actually looking into the costs and benefits/pitfalls -- that’s about the biggest case of poor management I can imagine. If the board and shareholders had any reservations about giving him MORE control, this…

It does. They show one in the video. 

I had a 2001 A4 1.8T quattro and it was a great car. But in 2009 at 100K miles it developed some sort of AC leak that required the dash to be pulled so they could replace a condenser or something. That was about $3,000, or about half the value of the car. So I sold it and never looked back. The handwriting was on the…

The fun part of modding a car is making it what you wish it would be. The unfun part is realizing that you’ve killed any resale value and that every conversation about the car is going to be a laundry list of excuses and warnings about how it rides rough, needs premium gas, what things don’t work, etc. Why anyone…

What a douchebag. And people wonder why salespeople don’t always jump up to help you when you walk into a store — its because a-holes like this come in to waste their time, doubtlessly treat them like crap, and then make them look bad with their videos. I never thought I’d come to the defense of a car saleperson, yet…

The end of that period wasn’t all bad. There’s a list of cars from the early 1980s that I’d happy drive:

We need to update that old lawyer joke with “What do you call a dead billionaire on the bottom of the sea?”

What do you want to bet that Trump ordered someone to bid it up to $1M just for his ego and so he can brag on this “value” in future speeches to the cult? Was the bid “an anonymous bidder” on the phone? Can we check back in a few weeks to see if the car is actually paid for?
