My guess is they’ll sell it to a kid for between 4200 and 4500 and it will make a great first car.  I nearly bought one of these but ended up with a manual VR6 Jetta instead.  The Jetta was a bit quicker and better for taking friends out since it was a sedan, but I quite liked the Cougar.  This is a lower spec model…

I will disagree only on this level: it’s silliness.  Some cars that look crap take their designs VERY seriously.  There is no humor in the Benz electric car for it basically having the profile of a turd... with LEDs.  This is sorta like... let’s get hammered and draw a silly car.  

And ROBIN HOOD!!!

yes but a gigantic truck is not a sustainable alternative either. 

The 112i is that a Pagani would look like if proportions won the battle against excessive and unpleasant detailing. The Paganis give me a headache, this car makes me want to draw and tinker with the design elements.  

I was about to say something to the effect of “you hush your sinful mouth” but you made that unnecessary.  Thank you. :-)

I was fortunate enough to have a solid spec PC to play this on and not a console.  I thought it was a wonderful game that had enough story to keep me motivated, cool action, great setting, and weapons that I could upgrade and develop.  It also wasn’t Assassin’s Creed which had been getting most of my winter gaming…

Including Ford ones... they are leaving a TON of sales on the floor but are missing out on them because they aren’t building the cars fast enough.  Honda must also be kicking itself for not making the Ridgeline look like an actual truck or building it with a hybrid.  I’d have bought a Maverick if they were available…

I couldn’t possibly agree with this statement more.  This thing should in no way shape or form cost more than about $1500 and that’s still EXPENSIVE.  A really good tent for two people  maxes out at $500 with a lot of them costing 300.  To make the aluminum frame for $1000 seems very doable. 

I don’t know. We have so many hours in the day to do stuff. She clearly spends so much of her time obsessing about every detail of her appearance - and I suppose why not - it’s made her a wealthy young woman. But I don’t know if that’s something that makes one interesting or a good partner. Not too many supermodels…

emotional... damage... reply :-P

A good thing is not donating someone else’s money and patting yourself on the back for it.  If they want to donate to charity, donate the CAR, not the 90k upcharge they were trying to do and then most likely write off.  If I give you a hundred dollars and then get it back on my taxes that is not a donation.  It’s a…

I don’t get her either - she was really cute as a young woman and had potential as a star who could look the part. She also seemed to have gained quite a lot of weight for the Mandalorian. No clue if that and her increasingly odd behavior have a common cause. I liked her a lot and thought she’d have made a good…

I’ll be real: I bought a Model 3 Performance because the back seat fits my 2 kids and the acceleration makes them giggle.  For road trips and blasts down the highway for fun, it’s cheap to run and guilt free fun.  But I find myself wishing I could fit a miata into my life.  I’m honestly much more interested in an…

I’m sorry but that’s not good intentions. If anything, that’s another layer of scheme. So they gouge on price, get some publicity for that, then a write-off for the “charity” that cost the dealership nothing. This is the kind of false generosity that makes people sound entirely more magnanimous than they actually are.…

Just don’t buy one.

Let us be clear that manufactures do the absolute minimun that they believe they can successfully market and sell. There are a ton of Fords with meh, to downright poor small-offset crash performance that they brag about as safe. Go look at what a 3700 lb Mustang does in that crash and pretend that your safety is an…

You know when they started testing small offset crashes for the driver’s side a ton of cars only put the reinforcements there and not on both sides of the car... until they tested both... Or that people are still getting killed by airbags that were cheaper? The 2004 Pontiac that I owned had a tiny trunk because they…

Chevy should be able to help a lot there and the fact that the motor is parts bin - but yeah... don’t let your kids eat in it.

My reaction when I saw this was just that a truck like this isn’t very good at hauling people. The back seat is pretty tiny, especially if you have a child seat or two that you need to make space for. The only things they made bigger are the wheels and the LCD screen on the dash. All I use is CarPlay so for me every…
