We recently got my wife out of the leasing cycle and into a used 2017 Fiesta Titanium at nearly half the new MSRP. Her monthly payment is basically the same, but now in a few years instead of having to go through the whole process again, the car will be paid off and if she wants a new car she’ll be starting with

My dad bought a Juke a few years back hoping for the advertised MPG, but has not gotten anywhere near it. Sure, freeway cruising in eco mode might get you close, but then what’s the point of dropping the money on the NISMO version?

I made the mistake of clicking on the link for Joe Ricketts’ website to read the “apology.” The page features such articles as ‘The Single-Parent Household Epidemic,’ ‘Attacks on President Trump Show the Political Class Has Learned Nothing,’ and, of course ‘Hamburgers Were Our Greatest Invention.’

Because only prostitutes know how to drive them.

In a sea of “fuck you,” and “you’re a bitch,” and other similarly unoriginal jeers, I’ve found that a simple and well-timed “you’re bad!” goes a long way.

Next time you think that star players make enough (or too much) for how much revenue they bring in, think about how Art Rooney is willing to eat tens of millions of dollars of AB’s contract just so he can’t play against the Steelers.

I used to work for a company that did a lot of writing about consumer electronics, and calling devices “sexy” was explicitly forbidden for similar reasons. 

“The Corvette has a bad interior” is a common gripe, but I would honestly like to know what could be upgraded without drastically increasing the price. What are the improvements that can be found in other similarly priced cars that you can also drive from the dealer lot straight to the track and post ZR1-like lap

You mundane noodle!

I have never understood why all of the malice is directed towards the player and not the referees who are the ones deciding not to blow the whistle for one reason or another. If they let him get away with it, why should he stop?

You can dislike his game, but why does that make him a “fucking bitch?”

This exactly! I don’t doubt that the trained special ops guy is a better driver than a run-of-the-mill uniformed police officer, but I guarantee he’s not outrunning a BMW 5 series with a VW up! in a straight line.

All this ire over “despite” and no one is paying attention to the fact that the penalty for a defensive player being over the line of scrimmage at the time of the snap does not have an “s” in it.

It is literally—and, for once on the internet, I do mean literally—larger in every dimension and 500 lbs heavier.

We had a Ford salesman try to tell us that an EcoSport was the same size as a Fiesta.

My wife just bought a Fiesta sedan this weekend. Why? Because it was a CPO 2017 Titanium for $14,500 out the door (original MSRP >$21K). It had been sitting on the dealer lot for months and was marked down more than $2,500 what they originally listed it for. Did a pre-purchase inspection and it came back clean. Nobody

Seriously, it’s not a joke anymore. Random parts, tools, and straight up trash in the grass? Industrial cleaners and lubricants taking up all of the kitchen counter space? This is not just a personality trait; it’s a problem.

So how will the OEM replacement part prices between BMW and Toyota shake out? Will Supra drivers pay a premium because shops have to order BMW parts? Or will Z4 drivers be able to get a deal by buying the “Toyota” parts?

I’m guessing the real answer will be that whoever buys/leases these cars will only keep them

My wife has been actively trying to purchase a Fiesta for months now and the salesperson won’t stop trying to get her to buy one of these. If we weren’t trying to turn in her lease early we would have just gotten a Fit.

I can’t wait for 10-15 years from now when Justin Tucker is obliterating this record.
