Don’t forget the $50k market adjustment.

I found a restaurant off I-82 in SW Virginia/NE Tennesee area with really good beef ribs (beef ribs are a rarity in the south; most rib joints only serve up pork ribs.)

Lol, nailed it. Loaded 2010 Prius is the daily driver, because Toyota reasons. Also ‘01 S2000, ‘12 fortwo (long story, but neat little thing!).

Just got our first batch of Ford’s (Escape Hybrids) in an otherwise Japanese and Korean fleet of ~800 vehicles at work. We haven’t ordered Fords in almost a decade. Only four have been delivered so far, and one has a stuck-open thermostat. Two have had their B-pillar plastic panels come out of the mould with so much…

I wish they would reinvent the truck series and the xfinity series. The trucks just don’t make sense anymore. Hot street trucks were a trend in the 90's which is why the series started, but it’s outgrown that appeal. And the trucks just look silly when compared to real trucks since they are so small.

In 2019, the right price for a quality used car was $10k. Much under $10k, and the car was going to be questionable. Too many miles, too many potential problems, too long a car fax, etc.

See, I just am not computing the background story.

The only thing worse than designed by committee is designed by social media.

Buy a new or used 4Runner: Problem Solved

Damn, you all got me on this one.

The proper response to this is actually a Lexus RX350 hybrid. If you don’t care about driving dynamics -- as somebody who hasn’t driven in 9 years almost certainly doesn’t -- there’s no more comfortable car with plenty of space and every conceivable type of driver assist. I didn’t want to like my wife’s RX350, but…

I’m in the same boat there captain. Going to need a new vehicle sometime in the next 18 months, and the GR ‘rola is on the short list. As is the integra, and the Si. If worst comes to worst, I could settle for RAV4 prime, as one of my kids is 6'3" and could struggle to get comfy anywhere in them save for the RAV4.…

The GRolla will probably be quicker, but (at least compared to the prototype that Toyota brought to New York) the Integra has a much more comfortable interior both front and rear. 

You’ve got valid points, but there’s a scale problem. A rich person buying a $60-$80k Tesla is one thing, someone making $50k/yr that lives in an apartment and has no charger outside buying a BEV is another. Someone who lives in southern Cali that doesn’t have to worry about cold related range issues is one thing,…

Was waiting for someone to say Spyder! Think I’ll go drive mine now...

After the apocalypse you will be riding a bicycle.

Where I live speed is the killer. Then follows drunk, then follows no seatbelts. Somewhere in all of that is running stoplights and illegal lane changes.

reminds me of an old Steven Wright bit:

I see they managed to get the beak on it though. 

totally agree, simple manual with no hybrid or battery and rwd, would have made this into a success story. can’t believe they didn’t even try to make a base pure option...
