I’ve said this before and get pounded by the acolytes, but a 2004 Lexus LS430. Used test drive with only like 30k miles. Heavy brick. Engine was quiet, but the suspension didn’t feel soft as I expected at all (my Mk7 GTI felt smoother/less harsh over bumps). Acceleration and power didn’t meet expectations from having…

Right!  Also, let’s not ignore the peril to the by-sitters and by-walkers too

Brilliant! We’ll call it the Doritos time travel experience!

I had that happen once on one of those charter fishing boats where 40 people drop a line over one side of the boat. The other side was just benches for sitting. I did mostly fine on the waves, but after the first dozen people came to the other side to “contribute chum” to the excursion, started feeling it too, and was …

New Land Cruiser or 4Runner still seems far from settled

True that!!! 😂

Are you trying to say Boeing? Cause you’re hurtin’ my ears here!

I don’t know what the market is on these, but that sounds like a pretty great deal!

Great car overall and I think these will be coveted in decades to come, but I grew too impatient and grabbed an auto before the manual came out (and didn’t want to get into bidding wars over scarce manuals). I just prefer a manual for a fun car. Would still consider a manual supra and they’re probably going to get…

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been buying a new car lately what kind of deals they’re seeing. I’ll say that against my better judgment I’ve purchased a few new cars during what we could call the last few “pandemic shortage” years. They’ve all been at sticker and that’s the first time I’ve ever paid msrp for any…
