Not to scale though...

I’d recommend a 2018-ish Macan Sport Edition based on my own experience. You can find them easily under $40k with 40k-ish miles now. If you’re average height you can fit a rear-facing car seat in back, it’s reliable, normal service is easy so an indy can do oil changes, brakes, etc a lot cheaper than the dealer, 250…

Aston made the boxy Mustangy Vantage with 550 hp up until 2000. They could be upgraded to a V600 with 600 horsepower. So that’s what I’d have.

One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind would be correct.

Many famous quotes are especially memorable because they were grammatically incorrect like this. See also one small step for man, ich bin ein Beliner, etc.

Ford cutting production of lightnings in half, VW closing battery plants, Tesla cutting prices because they’re not hitting sales goals, Kia EV9 already getting discounted, all signs of a slowing market.

I predict the EV market will continue to stall. Teslas will continue to sell fine unless some of the investigations against FSD and Autopilot lead to massive class-actions and/or stop sales. Cybertruck they’ll sell all they can make but it will only be a few thousand.

Keep my BMW in good daily working order for the whole year if possible. I’m ready for a new car but don’t want to change until my wife’s car is paid off, it should make it no worries but it’s also a BMW with almost 150k on the clock... We’ve got a second baby coming in June, and if the 2nd baby doesn’t fit in the car…

While I like other cars using this platform like the Giulia, I don’t really trust Maserati to do enough to differentiate and justify the higher cost other than the engine. Their other cars are a great value used, but as new cars they just don’t make sense when you compare features, feel, etc. with the exception of the…

Spending up to $35,000 is honestly not a good idea at that point TBH. Unless you have the cash to put down and no debt you could be using that cash to pay down, don’t do it. If you really need a different car (which I could see given only having a 2-seater) I hate to recommend this because I hate them but get your car…

I thought we all already knew he drives the current top-end Mercedes GT Convertible. Used to have an SLS roadster, then an AMG GTC, and I think he recently switched to an SL63

I assume the toot is primarily for European mountain roads with blind corners, when I was over there everyone with larger vehicles, particularly buses, would honk before every blind corner.

This is not surprising, but don’t forget that this is also skewed because it’s based on insurance. Altima drivers must be driving uninsured.

This is nothing new. It’s been around forever and only “discovered” again because zoomer Tik Tokers are living on their own and need to decorate their own space, and using Hobby Lobby for content.

They’re old cars that often don’t get driven much, anything like that is going to need a higher than average amount of work. My family has a 928 and it was a once every few weeks car for many years, in the last 10-ish years it’s been driven semi-daily in the summer and has been a lot more reliable than it ever had…

Odometer replacement isn’t uncommon on 928s, but those lights are weird. I grew up around a 928 so I don’t think they look funny at all, to me it’s one of the best looking cars ever made. The normal pop-ups make it look like a weird RX-7 clone, though the side view does look ok and the last image is giving me Ferrari…

Minor stuff is still pretty easy at least on the 2.0. I’m planning on doing oil changes, brakes, spark plugs etc on my wife’s once the warranty is up.

Even the update they provided after my comment is evidence it’s about monetization. “...greater integration with the larger GM ecosystem and vehicles” means they want to charge for stupid things through their own app store.

The worst part to me is there’s only 2 years (3 for the C63 Coupe) where they had a decent level of tech IMO, with bluetooth streaming and a better interior look, also the years where they sold the least. So the perfect AMG is really a rare thing and too expensive to be worth it as a daily now.

Because it doesn’t fit the narrative for either side. The left wants everything to be completely gas-free while the right sees it as a compromise to the left. All the while normal-brained people just looking for a normal car are buying hybrids and PHEVs in big numbers
