I wouldn’t try to sell a 2001 Civic with a CEL, much less something of actual value.

A different way to look at that would be:

When that X5 was new, diesels were still ramping up in popularity for highway cruisers with great fuel economy - but that was before Dieselgate. They’ve since fallen out of favor for hybrids, which are better for 95% of drivers and that last 5% is getting murdered at the fuel pump these days.

I don’t know if it’ll get to that, but we shall see.

It’s not even taking an L! They were paid for what they provided. How aren’t they able to fix the fucked up invoice? How did no one say to a valued (well apparently not actually valued) customer “Oh shit, we screwed up” and at least try to offer it to him as a future credit if it’s that difficult to process the

I love reading these types of articles and being reminded that the 5.5L V8 in my ‘86 560SEL, which *only* made 230ish HP and seems like a lump by todays standards, was a marvel at the time. It doesn’t feel that slow even today (I’m sure the light-for-today 3800lbs is a big factor there) but a 7 second run to 60 at the

Everyone know if you want an American sedan you buy a Camry. 

Maybe consumer reports hasn’t reviewed the Escape plug-in yet? Or maybe it just really sucked?

My logic was that someone would want this car, and if they did it’s a NP. I love the interior. I’m not too fond of the styling, but love that it’s clean and mint green. It probably drives like crap, but if you aren’t in a rush who cares. I’m sure I could find a gray over gray one close by with a bit of rust for $1500.

He may share some of the same ideologies.

Nice condition and low miles, but I don’t think they’d get that without the mods and they definitely haven’t added any value (why would I deal with the headaches of an 18 yr old Audi that’s sought after for it’s NA V8 in a car that has had the engine messed with?). ND by, like, $15k.

The Prime versions are really hard to justify from fuel savings, but the regular hybrid strategy is solid. We’ve been looking at the Corolla AWD hybrid and the Corolla Cross hybrid. Like you said, ~$4500 higher starting price. But when you add the AWD on the non-hybrid that shrinks. And you get a more equipped vehicle

Even in this country, areas with higher motorcycle use are safer because drivers are more aware - I imagine where >50% of people are on two wheels thats also I big part of it. Also, dense city centers are where you see the most traffic rather than sprawling interstates.

For anyone out there who decides to start scouring Autotrader for used Teslas or other EVs - an important note. A lot of dealers are listing used EVs with the $4000 federal rebate (for vehicles under $25k) included. They spell it out in the notes of the ad, but it’s a big distinction that makes searching a little

The EU system where they have to pay you for a delay AND rebook you/correct it is obviously far superior. I was once stuck in London for an extra day and they reimbursed my expenses for that day plus sent me the 600 euros required for the delay and another $100 in Westjet-bucks. I dream of that happening again, it was

It’s a NP as presented.

Sorry your flight was delayed - there was a snowstorm in Toledo a week ago. Don’t worry, the plane will be here in a few hours/days.

In hindsight, I think they fucked up when they made talking on your phone (without some sort of hands free device) illegal. The issue is paying attention (which being hands-free doesn’t help) and the added gymnastics of trying to fumble with a phone out of view or sending texts out of view is far more dangerous. I

Lack of awareness of their surroundings is definitely a big part of it. I’ve talked to people (and seen this dozens of times in the wild) who say they’ll move over to the right to let people pass and then move back to the left. Which is absurd (why are you moving back to the left if you aren’t passing anyone, that’s

True, but what do people think “fast lane” means? Because there are some folks that definitely camp there because they are doing 10 over even though they aren’t passing, but that doesn’t feel like the core issue.
