I’d say Buick Envista or Honda CR-V/HR-V. Something with a smaller footprint for easier parking, higher seating for good visibility, and room/space for going out with friends or going on weekend trips out of the metro area.

“Trump has tried his best pretended to distance himself from Project 2025...”

Man, that design looked just about perfect. Damn shame the world never got to see it. 

My first thought was “no way”, but that thing is clean and obviously well cared for. I’d say it’s going to be as good as or better than anything else you buy for $5000 or so, so as long as you don’t lose sleep over a possible big-ticket repair at some point I say go for it, keep up with the maintenance, and enjoy this …

Funny thing is that I’d see that plate and not even give it a second thought — I wonder what percentage of the population (like me) has no idea what that nod to fandom even means? 95%? 98%?

Hell, he’ll have doubled his money during the 3 year wait, so it’s not like there’s a bitter pill to swallow here. 

This car is the genuine thing — not only will it make you look like an idiot driving it, you’d BE an actual idiot to pay that kind of money for it. So if you’re all about “keeping it real,” go for it. But for everyone else, ND.

Even that’s not enough. How often have you reacted to something behind the wheel after feeling something like a gust of wind, a shake from the tire hitting something, or just eased off the gas because you subconsciously noticed that guy 400 yards up starting to weave a little to saw that car on the shoulder flash its…

First gear: so, do I have this right? A presumably huge room full of low-paid staffers/remote drivers that are expected to pay super-close attention to everything going on around a car by watching screens and listening for warming beeps? Notwithstanding the possibility that they’re going to be chatting with the…

I’m looking forward to Rivian’s smaller models, particularly the R3. If this thing nails it on range and cost I’m going to be mighty intrigued.

Well, I guess if this country is ever going to “eat the rich”, perhaps one day we'll look back on this and see it as the appetizer. 

Nah, that stuff is easy. See my other post.

Well, I suspect most of that would be pretty easy to figure out. The guy was in town for the company’s investor conference, so he know the date and all the info is public knowledge. A phishing call to the guy’s assistant would probably revel the hotel and maybe even room number (“Hi, this is Joe Blow, my boss, the…

I’m going NP because this thing is super clean and the mileage works out to about 5,700 miles a year — Cleary this thing had a pretty gentle life. I have no idea what KBB and other guides suggest as a price, but here I think condition trumps a lot of the other factors. If you want this, you want this.

I agree; if you’re buying this you better plan on owning and enjoying it forever. Because once you pass 200K miles this thing’s going to be largely unsellable (just because 99% people see cars are worn out at that price) or you’re going to have an expensive repair that will invoke the fix it or dump it money-loss…

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. 

I gotta go with Subaru, mainly because of their endearing dog commercials. Ironically the ads are memorable and the kinds of things that people share/talk about, but the Subaru brand itself still feels too far out of the mainstream for so many possible consumers to actually buy. I think a lot of the population thinks…

That’s pretty crazy, but certainly wildly-random enough of a thing that I don’t need to add it to my list of potentially-crippling fears and anxieties. We have enough to worry about with Trump’s cabinet pics. 

Ok, this is just cringey in its abuse of animals. I get that they’re a commodity and we eat millions of them every day, but still. 

It’s utterly breathtaking how the GOP and all its supporters are content to look the other way on criminal behavior, campaign finance violations, access to voting, nepotism, outright graft and corruption, conflicts of interest, lack of morals, anti-democratic ideals, etc.
