I always roll my eyes when people talk about any car make being of so low quality that body panels and pieces start falling off when they drove it new off the lot. sounds like another graduate of the Jeremy Clarkson school of hyperbole.

True Story. After they had been out for a year or two, I was shopping for an FJ Cruiser. One evening I went to the local Toyota dealer and had the following told to me during the test drive:

“You’ll notice here a switch for Differential Locks. That’s part of the security system. It completely immobilizes the drivetrain…

Yeah I don’t doubt there are good ones, I just haven’t dealt with one. Last time I bought a new car I gave the dealership a printout from the online configurator showing what I wanted, and wasn’t even going to be a shithead about price. They kept trying to sell me something off the lot or from their other location,…

No state permits an outside party to record a conversation without consent or notice to my knowledge. Some states permit people to record their own conversations without notice to the other party. The only exception to the consent/notice is when the people having the conversation do not have a reasonable expectation…

Was this in a state where recording a convo without consent is legal? If not, maybe these two dealer guys with own the Gawker media remnants next.

I am somewhat one of those people. While the number of doors wouldnt stop me from buying a FiST, i would choose the 3 door in a heartbeat if it was available here, even if it was a little more expensive. I just dont like the looks and the weight. To me, 2 doors are special and 4 doors are ordinary. Theres plenty of…

Do you have a 2005 XC90, or are you just so insane you pulled that out of thin air as a reference point?

You missed a major category: Cars with built in USB ports.

Believe me, 20 years ago everyone was just as dumb and useless as they are now. Only difference is back then people aspired to not be useless (or at least pretended to, as it was the societal norm), whereas now people seem to take pride in “not knowing which end of the hammer is which”.

I have met kids legit proud of…

I like the idea of it, but you know it’d never be street legal in the United States. There’s too much that would have to be changed to get it there, which would drive the cost WAY up. But let’s assume that they did figure out a way. The next question is...do you trust the average person today to correctly assemble a…

Noble had this problem. Unless you want to crash test and emissions test the vehicle as well as other BS shipping it as a kit allows the person at home to assemble it. That means that it wasn’t an automobile but rather something like automobile parts that the company sold you. It is then on the person assembling it to…

I have no problem with this. Regardless of whether it looks ”good” or not, he’s willing to take risks beyond the traditional Mansory body kit. I would much prefer more will.i.am type mods to simple bling. At least he’s trying to do something creative and different.

I don’t think this comment has played out the way you thought it would.

The Lagonda’s interior is gorgeous.

Actually that looks awesome

You have to admit, when even something as ordinary as an Altima looks sumptuous in comparison...

The Lagonda is still gorgeous. The Model 3 is already tacky and old, and it hasn’t even been released yet.

Car with “some” cahracter.

It has aged beautifully.
