It’s a very cool car, but nearly $20k is outrageous, right? When I saw the asking price I was fully expecting to see a car with 150k less miles than this one. Sure, everything looks nice, well cared for, and in pretty good overall condition; but boy does it all look well used. Not that there is anything wrong with…

I’ve always been told to not use a motorcycle helmet in a car and not use a car helmet in a motorcycle. Yeah, I’m sure using the wrong one is better than nothing, but certainly not worth the risk if you’re just trying to save some money and not get a second lid. Most people typically need their head in good condition…

The Bronx got canned a while ago. 

Yup. There is a list on the Corvette forums and there actually quite a few selling at MSRP. You just have to wait your turn in line.

The worst part is how many more silver 911s you see vs any other more interesting color. Most of the time it’s not even a particularly good silver either, it’s the boring/generic silver that every car manufacture slaps on every model! So many great colors to choose from. :(

True about markups on the other stuff.

Here I am thinking the TRD Pro model was already somewhat overpriced when compared to Wranglers & GX’s as well as the upcoming Bronco.

C’mon, it’s Raph. Don’t you know AWD is useless unless you have to regularly drive on rugged unmaintained roads? It totally doesn’t help in the winter where half of North America gets regular amounts of snow, nor does it even help with the places in NA that regularly get large amounts of snow. The softer ride &…

Uhhh, so what wagon seats 7, costs ~$40k, gets 25mpg combined or more, and comes with a factory warranty? None? Besides the additional space & comfort, this is exactly why there is a solid place for minivans.

Honda

If that was me in high school, that camera woulda caught the same champagne Citrin Beige* colored Saab hitting that thing progressively faster and faster.

Oh shit, I’ve been using that word wrong my whole life.... Doh

Uhhh, yeah. Who else makes old tech bikes like Harley (with exception to a few boutique brands or extremely low volume models)? They really are the last hold-out aka penultimate. Seemingly everyone yesterday was wishing car manufacturers stuck to old school tech just like Harley historically has, yet Harley gets…

I mean, read the articles from yesterday talking about how new cars while technically better, aren’t really better. HD is more or less the penultimate form of high character, old-school tech that everyone was complaining about as missing from the car market.

Whoa, I had a 2001 Passat and loved it; but it did require some fairly expensive maintenance work. I can’t remember the exact cost, but all (12 IIRC because why only replace 8 when you’re already in there) control arms needed replacing (I think something like $1k in parts in 2010) on mine around 90k miles and the…

and the manufacturers that have and read those numbers know exactly what we’re going to buy.

Uhhh, TMNA isn’t even getting their hands on the new Land Cruiser, so....?

Yeah, if I’m lazy my Tacoma is the easiest car I’ve ever had to parallel park. Oversized tires hop curbs super easy and you never have to worry about curb rash.

You’re completely ignoring the compromises the Ridgeline has. It entirely swaps out capability for convenience/comfort. You can live with the rough ride of another truck, but you can’t live with a Ridgeline if you need to tow more than 5k pounds. You can live with a hard plastic dash but you can’t live with a…

As I’m sure you’re aware, trucks in general have some of the most impressive array of options, engines, trims, cab/bed configurations, etc; but perhaps some of the most frustrating limitations on colors as well as what of those you can combo with each other and what is grouped into a package that can’t be had a la…
