Sales price has ZERO to do with the interest rate. 

The Grand Caravan didn’t fit the performance image they wanted/still want for Dodge, so when the Fiat-based Pacifica’s came out, they never thought to do a Dodge version. They only kept selling the Grand Caravan until 2020 because they figured they’d make a great deal of money on a design that was well paid for by the

Grandpa says Fiat X1/9. Not powerful but so much fun to drive. I got mine in 1979 for the lump sum of 10K$ Canadian, about 8K$ US. Kept the car for 8 years, drove in the winter and never had an issue, ever.

I know this wont be popular but I miss the Fiats, 500's and 124's. Especially the ABARTH’s. they were the cheap, stylish, solid power to weight ratio, that is missing from todays market. not to mention they sounded great. There is a new generation in Europe that is Electric only AND an Abarth edition is supposed to be

I own a 2000 Jaguar XK8, at $4k this seems fair, but I’d note the following:

Nah, there's cigar cutters probably more appropriate...

You could absolutely take someone’s head off with one of those paper cutters.  They’re wicked.

SHITBRICS

Ive driven down Lakeshore plenty of times in a crew cab truck pulling a trailer...

The Torchinsky Torpedo is usually only seen after a late night Taco run...

So if one is driving a Maverick with out-of-state non-commercial plates, it’s safe? :D

Lake Shore Drive should get the full Alaskan Way / Embarcadero treatment and become a lower-volume, 40mph urban boulevard, ideally with a tram, or some kind of bus reserved lanes, and plenty of occasions to cross by foot. It’s a crime against humanity that so many cities turned their shores into highways like that.

Lets add to that the sudden decision to unregister kei cars and mini trucks that were legally imported in the Northeast. That shit makes my blood boil and I don’t even own one.

The 25 year import law would get my vote 

Ultra raked rear windshields on SUV/CUV/wagons. The function of the trunk is completely lost, which makes the larger footprint a waste. I get the design choice, but functionally, its terrible.

I have dabbled in cars like this all my life. Looks like it started life in Pale Primrose, a proper British color that is a pale yellow, and it was repainted a brighter yellow in the not too distant past. This gives me pause as a cheap new coat of paint often hides all sorts of horrors underneath.

The grille seems to have survived relatively intact. 

Or you could take the engine from one of these,

Eh... you can just weld up a crack in aluminum castings.... sometimes.

What state? Nearly every state uses ~70%, if your state uses 33% then the issue is with the shitty laws of your state.
