All I know is the one I was familiar with was traded because the manufacturer recommended maintenance was getting out of hand and the owner decided he’d cut his losses instead of pay for more maintenance, or skip any that would further depreciate the vehicle. He traded it in for an A8L, and then almost immediately trad…

That Hyundai dealer, Suntrup South, isn’t just obscenely jacking up the price of their Palisades, they also want $40 to just to test drive one!

Consider yourself fortunate they didn’t get petty and stick you with a Versa.

1st Gear: Hell No!

CP because at this price it smacks of a “get this hunk of unreliable shit out of my garage asap” fire sale.

The Panamera Turbo is an absolute blast to drive, but a boar to maintain. Having said that, I don’t have much experience with NA Panameras but it would make sense to me that this one may have skipped 1 too many factory recommended services and is now suffering massive depreciation as a result. Also because of this…

Me thinks the issues the seller is admitting to are more complicated than he’s making them out to be since he hasn’t fixed them and is selling the thing before he finishes it...not to mention he’s probably not disclosing all of the issues with it, either.

Neutral: Almost. Many years ago I owned a 1983 AMC Eagle that I sold to a coworker and that very weekend as he was driving it to Maine the throttle stuck and caused him to fly through a toll without paying. Thankfully for him it was the lights and sirens kind, and not the kind he would have needed to crash through…

I just don’t get the hate. Who cares? I wouldn’t leave them on mine, but I couldn’t care less if someone else leaves them on their’s. Is it really worth all the press and all the hand-wringing?

The strawman child argument is just a distraction, but let’s play. Except let’s also assume we need to compare apples to apples and not oranges. If a child was driving a Civic on a busy highway, illegally passed you on the right, and then cut you off too close striking your vehicle, would it be your fault for them…

I told you exactly what substantiated my take. My take is obvious to me because what I saw in that video was the truck driver pulling over to find out wtf just happened to his front end, and when the Civic strikes the barrier the truck driver reacts in a way that says to me he definitely wasn’t expecting it.

Is this really the hill you want to die on? Were you driving the Civic? I don’t understand your motivation for trying to force this issue.

Since in my 28 years of driving I’ve seen exactly 0 big truck drivers use their trucks as a weapon in a road rage incident, but have seen countless assholes pass big trucks on the right and cut them off in the process, I’m sticking with Civic was at fault.

How is being cut off by some moron passing you on the right an avoidable issue? You seem to to be under the impression that the truck simply drove into the Civic, but the Civic wouldn’t have ended up across the nose over to the passenger side like that if that were the case, the Civic had to have cut across the nose…

Being that that is the stupidest analogy yet, I must assume you’re intellectually stunted. My apologies for trying to speak sense to you.

What I saw was a truck driver pulling over to investigate wtf was going on with the front of his truck. As he was doing this the Civic strikes the barrier making the truck driver keenly aware something big was going on, who then swerved away to avoid crushing whatever it was further. Read the article, he stayed on…

Not every truck has a crossover mirror. I don’t disagree that they should, but some don’t.

You are responsible for your own safety, and you are aware that trucks have bad visibility, so yes it is your responsibility to give them wide berth. It isn’t the truck driver’s fault physics work the way they do, they can do everything perfectly and safely and you can still stupidly drive into them from an angle…

Because he felt the front of his truck had something wrong with it? I know I would feel it if a go kart were stuck to the front of my car while driving even if I couldn’t see it, so a truck with a Civic stuck to it would also feel it there. That doesn’t mean he knew what it was, just that he knew something was there.…

Those trucks have very big blind spots directly in front of them which is why a lot of them now have mirrors at the front edge of the hood to see what’s directly in front (but a lot still don’t have those yet). It’s exactly why the Civic driving moron should not have tried cutting the truck off. I’m sure the truck driv…
