And do they think the owners are going to care about subscritions after the warranty expires and the hackers provide the solutions? “BMW hates it when you install this one simple switch”

Exactly. I buy what fits my needs, finances and desires at the time. All you Ford people, GM people, Toyota people, makes me shake my head with what you all put up with for the sake of a brand, any brand, that cynically counts on your continued patronage no matter what crumbs they bake up for you.
I work in the copier/printer industry and reinforce this enough. Those refills and “compatible” cartridges are anywhere from” OK” to “not functional” to “will damage your equipment” and I if I see a non-OEM supply I’m stopping right there. Recently had a customer go through 3 OKI compatibles, 2 were backgrounding and…
White privilege card or not, if those officers thought there was even the remote possibility she was under the influence she’d be out of the car and taking the tests. Just like many of my very white friends and myself when I lived in the 907. APD loved them a drunk driver.
One of the biggest adjustments I had to make when I moved to the lesser 48 was that places actually closed in the summer at 10PM or sometimes even earlier. It still annoys me that I can’t nip off to the bar or get dinner at midnight around here. When I was in college we’d deliver the pizza at 3 am on those really long…
Had this come up a couple months ago I might have made a road trip. NP
For me it’s the most desirable brick out there, but as nice as it is, it’s simply not $25K nice, BAT provenance or not. I have met a couple of folks who have bought off BAT and they both felt they got good vehicles but that they had paid too much for them. Reluctant ND, as other said love the car hate the price.
pretty much every old Volvo has a broken odometer. It’s a feature!
and a half-disassembled car in the yard or driveway that will eventually have to be disposed of, and after all the good bits have been stripped the scrapper might take it for free if you deliver it.
One always has to ask about a mechanic special-if indeed it is just a fuel pump, why not spend the cash and get ‘er done, and sell it for $3K?
Well because maybe the non-running engine is hiiding a bad head gasket, worn out engine, non-functional transmission, or maybe even that the fuel pump isn’t running because the…
I initially, reflexively even, mashed the ND button. Who the h-e-double toothpicks buys a Yugo, much less pays double the original ask for one? And then I decided to prove my point and check to see what they are selling for in real life, and found, nothing.
No amount of free candy is getting me into that modefiled mess.
ordinarily there might be something of value to salvage from a vehicle so modefiled but that’s not even showing up on the build list here.
I saw the roof come off a much nicer one than this at freeway speeds. Talk about a slow motion train wreck that generated an astounding debris field.
Now wait a minute here-or the 2 minutes they claim the rules will add to the transaction-the sales weasels will trap you in the managers office for half an hour showing you pictures of disassembled dashboards and disembowled transmissions to try to frighten you into buying the extended warranty but a couple minutes…
What you will find is that darn few of us “cycle 4" Jalops seek out and drive cars from the 70's without some other reason than “man that was a great car and I wanted another one” My family had one, was my first car, first place I ever got a leg over, Burt Reynolds was awesome, etc. We have run away from that era and…
Back in 1977 our family rented a Volare to drive until we picked up our new Jimmy. Dad pointed the thing down the on ramp, hit the gas and it stalled right as we were starting to merge. Just about got creamed right there. I swear the Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth engineers of the time were trying to see just how crap they…
In the present condition, it’s a 40 year old rooftop tent. $1200 nearly buys you a new RTT that is lighter, easier to carry and store. Such No Dicery.
