On the last one, I’ve pretty much stopped making specific recommendations too, but I’ll tell people not to buy something 100%. If someone asks me what to buy, I might give them a segment to look at or at least 3 options to look at in a segment (so then it’s truly their decision still). Now if someone asks for a…

There’s two reasons all the larger engines are only a sport option now.

That’s probably not just the total value of the 5 Infinitis. Probably other property damage involved in the calculation or the total of all cars damaged/destroyed, not just the 5 that were mentioned found burned.

Anything from Hyundai or Kia.

What papers to test drive? Most dealerships will just scan your license and hand you the keys.

Came here to say this, even the normal ones. Yeah it’s a completely normal car in the way that it’s a competitor to a 3-series and has normal mechanics and is actually reliable, but from the public view it’s definitely not a normal car. I’m not one for attention but I get looks all the time and comments at gas…

For this question, being boring itself isn’t enough. Most cars that are boring get hated by people for many reasons like just being awful, which makes it worth attention. The true most boring car ever made is not only so boring and bland it can’t attract hate, but it attracts boring people to it as well because “facts…

100% NP. These were RARE. They sold a relative ton of the CCs but when I worked at a VW dealership in college they got 2 VR6 for a whole year. It’s a great engine and a DSG, even though it means you gotta do the every 40k service on them it’s a wonderful combo and a pretty fun platform. With low miles this is really a…

The Dart is one of the best cases of good cars ruined by its owners. This is an Alfa platform, with a variant of the Abarth engine, and an available manual. It should have been the enthusiast choice, but sadly every Dart on the road is beat to shit by subprime buyers that can’t be bothered. I test drove a manual when…

This sounds about right, I’m surprised they didn’t put the most valuable cars on the lifts though. We did this kind of thing all the time when hailstorms were coming through. Couldn’t get everything put away and we didn’t pack the showroom but we’d fill up our detail shop, secondary service area, and delivery area…

I always think this is a terrible argument against a car. No, if you buy a 2024 Ram 1500 Classic it’s not old. It’s brand new. It’s not like the ones new on the lot were built in 2008 and have been sitting rusting away ever since.

This car is another reason I agree with Clarkson. It’s just the same but more. Looks so much like all the other McLarens even though I might be able to pick out which one is faster out of a lineup or which one is newer I definitely couldn’t tell which one it is out in the wild. The speed is becoming more irrelevant…

It’s funny, in my office we use fax (from email) more than ever and we are mostly millenials with a few Gen Z in the mix too.

I was thinking the same thing, since most screens are android-based now there could be an android smart-TV-style display for the passenger with separate apps that are essentially expanded versions of the driver display. Maps? allow destination and route planning, links to information and reservations, etc. Music?…

Not surprising at all. Also not surprising that someone that owns 8 cars and is genius enough to buy a Cybertruck is such a knob to think Geico is a good option for coverage for a collection.

Tesla doesn’t offer insurance in all states, so some people are SOL going that direction (even though their insurance sucks from what I’ve heard)

I’d like to see Garage 54 take a crack at it. You’re not going to get a sear, but you could definitely engineer some sort of either exhaust pipe or metal radiator hose that routes hot air or coolant in a spiral around a crock pot insert, with maybe a squared off side of the pipe to have extra contact on the pot.

Unfortunately that’s not a really good analogy, because the phone was owned by an adult and so was the credit card used on the account. The store doesn’t have liability if an adult buys beer, goes home and gives it to their kid saying throw a party.

I feel like there could be an easy regulation put in place that arbitration clauses are only enforceable if the claim is under $x limit. I understand a bad order, a broken arm in a car accident, etc something under $10k could be forced arbitration, but if you literally just almost died and have half a million in…
