Meh, an EV Cobra is pretty cringy to me. It’s like saying the best vegan kitchen is an old Brazillian steakhouse kitchen purposefully beat to hell. Or the best burger is the Impossible Whopper.

This may be a hot take, but IMO lowering a car, especially a daily, is so stupid.

Any EV. And by free, I mean I’ll charge it but there’s no tax, no cost to buy/lease, and no insurance cost. Because I’m not spending a dime on something I don’t want regardless of savings and there’s no way in hell I’m replacing one of our cars that makes me happy to drive daily.

5. The problem with red light cameras isn’t “muh freedumbs,” it’s that they’re owned by private entities as a profit center, and it’s been proven in certain jurisdictions that they (or the city themselves) manipulate the yellow light timing to increase the number of tickets they can write.

1. A Corvette worth less than $20k. So everyone can stop parroting online about how they’re shit because of the interiors and old man stigma and realize they’re actually good to drive.

I saw kiosks for PreCheck in Mall of America this past weekend, where do these things stand in the spectrum of scams?

This happens all the time and really is no big deal. He was definitely notified before the change was made, as an agent myself here’s where the problems arise:

-All these new upcoming retro-ish cars and concepts look cool, but as soon as I hear they’re EV only I lose all interest.

It’s just like the rest of your holiday shopping. They’re also not putting the in-demand toy of the season on sale because it will sell out anyway.

They dropped the citywide speed limit here in Minneapolis to 20, but honestly it’s really only on paper. All the signs say “unless otherwise posted” and pretty much every road still has a higher limit of 25 or 30. Only roads I’ve seen without a higher posted limit are side streets that aren’t busy and never had a…

Some CVTs do suck because they break all the time. The other ones suck to enthusiasts because they’re just meh... they don’t give the connected feeling and actual shifts we’re used to from a manual or a good auto/dct.

One that always gets me is how car sites and people say to avoid a certain car because it has x number of recalls.

Agreed, my car’s only AWD because it was available in either RWD or AWD, and there were no RWD models available in my spec in my state. It was actually cheaper to get the Q4 model than to order a Q2...

Was going to suggest this or a CPO VW GTI. Both luxury-ish as in very well-built interiors and perfectly sized to handle both city driving and long highway commutes. The 3 is even available in AWD for winters there but the GTI is a very good winter car too and gets 35+ mpg on the highway.

So it’s a list of brands that either make high quality cars that have qualities that attract not just car people (i.e. good dealer service, long life, low maintenance) and/or are brands that are household names that also make recognizable cars like the Wrangler and Beetle.

I know you’re not completely giving it a pass, but the old “enthusiasts always pine for the previous generation” adage doesn’t really apply to this.

Yeah she was probably overcharged for it, but I highly doubt with how stupid she is with this whole thing she knows what’s going on. That extra $5k was probably $1,200 in gap, with tax, license, and dealer fees. And some subprime lenders throw in an acquisition fee too of $1,000+ which the dealer isn’t technically…

I’m really interested to see how the new ICE Charger performs. Also how they’re going to turn that into the new Giulia also with a gas motor.

IF this is real...

Around me they’re not all flashing lights and a lot of them don’t have a timeframe, just “when children present.” I wonder what they say down there. Because if it’s a vague “when children present” and they have the cameras active during the whole school day, is that really fair? Because to me when children present…
