As the once owner of a 300,000+ mile (The odometer broke at 289,000 and it still ran drove for 2 1/2 more years) Gen 2 Legend L Coupe, this man’s garage brings a tear to my eye.

Still mad that Newman never got a royalty check for “On Fleek”, while “Chewbacca Mom” is still getting appearance fees. People ran that word into the ground.
WOW. That is incredibly sharp. It looks like a printed sticker on the ground.
2009s are going for leased 3 series money right now. So, only 6 years until a middle manager, who is too big for his britches, buys one of these to take “that new girl in accounting” out to lunch. Its totally not a date, he is just nice and wants to “build moral”. At least that is what he tells his wife, anyway.
No lie, in 2 more years, these are going to be the Jalopnik Patron Saint of Sleepers. The R-Spec 5.0 V8s are in base 4-cyl Altima territory, still on the factory warranty. It’s nuts.
Hell yea, the Yakuza Special!
I just did this last year. Replaced my Miata with an 06 Lexus IS. Given my current situation (engaged and needing to cart family around and doing wedding stuff) I dont regret it...except for the damn TPMS light. It’s an asshole.
God, this comment section....I agree the guy is pretty much a scumbag but sheesh, some of y’all have some ASS-TERRIBLE opinions of black people.
That’s a brilliant marketing move. It’s one of the reasons why I think that the Infiniti QX30 is going to sell something serious. They did this with the QX30 (Lifted hatchback/CUV with body cladding) and QX30 sport (No body cladding, lowered, deeper fascia).
I’m still waiting on a Buick Electra/Park Avenue, build on the Chevy SS chassis, for about 45k with a V6 Twin Turbo, or sleepy V8.
Frankly, I want Chevy to turn the SS into the new Impala, but they have already made their bed. Move the SS to Buick so we can have a “affordable” land yacht, is MISSING from the reasonably…
OMG, I’m literally crying in laughter, at my desk, from the pure awesome of this.
Most of these will probably involve lost money on cars, so I’ll throw mine out there: Having the dealership change the wheel barring on my Mazda3 Hatch. I spent $1200 (didn’t know the area I moved to just yet, and knew the fix involved a press), when an a good indie shop up the street did a friend’s Mazdaspeed for…
If Porsche, Ferrari, and other high performance brands have taught us anything, it’s that you need to charge for stuff that is normally standard. So in this case, make it the standard transmission.
Develop the car to have both a manual AND a DCT, but only sell the manual in the one off, crazy colored, 1-of-50 special…
Arlington Mazda on Glebe Road, has to be one of the best. I had a Mazda 3s and a NC Miata and every person in the service bay were kind and knew what they were talking about. I never bought from them, but I would glad recommend their service department.
Kendall is the only one with an actual talent (modeling) so I guess, but isn’t this how this stuff goes? Those that could afford it, don’t have to pay.
WTF I expected more. Where’s the meat?
Philly has tow trucks, DC has meter maids and red light cameras.
Meter maids won’t read signs for parking, or check the hours posted. They will just write you a ticket. Once that happens and it’s in the District system, good luck fighting it, as the system is fully electronic and will consistently miss sending…
Neutral: I think it depends.
Example: I drove a friend’s BMW X535xi, with the tech package and I believe the safety package (it was missing radar cruise, the uptrim leather seats, and no performance add-ons), and I couldn’t understand how that was a $70,000 car. It did nothing, or brought nothing that wasn’t inside of…
Neutral: It’s the price.
All the people who HAD to have a new one, now have them. Everyone else with ANY sort of disposable income is either waiting until it drops into their price bracket, or don’t want the hassle of having the car. Anecdotally, I‘m a young professional, who worked for peanuts during the recession and…
