This was the first car that came to mind for me too. I mean, I wasn’t expecting a speed demon, but holy hell that thing is slow. I mean like dangerously afraid-to-pull-out-onto-the-highway slow. Just truly horrible. Man did they blow it with that car.

Well done, sir!

When I took my brand new Sierra into a dirt field to do some killer drifting and found out you can only completely disable traction control and skid control under 35MPH.

Nah, I love the buildup to the torque curve in a S2k. It’s like: wait for it...wait for it....wait for it....VVVRRROOOOOOOOOM!!!!

Also watch for addendums to the factory sticker. We have a dealership that we compete with around here that adds $1695 to every new car for their paint and fabric protection. This is an optional package that we sell for $499-$699, and only if you want it. For them it’s mandatory and already included in the price. This…

Actually, that wasn’t the moral to Tom’s story at all.

I thought the same thing, that there were a number of things that should have let the car know that it was occupied. Seat belt clasped, weight sensor in the seat for the airbag, seat belt unclasping. I don’t know that it necessarily has to disable summon if the car is occupied, but it seems like a feature designed to…

If they ever made a super-sexy halo hypercar, it would have to be Second Samuel.

Near-entry level subcompact.

I doubt changing the name of the Equus to G90 is suddenly going to make people buy it

I disagree. Starting out with a tarted-up Sonata would definitely make the whole thing a joke. Launching with a serious contender is the right way to establish the brand. Plus this is not new territory for them, they already have the Eqqus and Genesis.

BINGO. THAT’s why people rushed out to get one reserved. There’s actually some interesting psychology going on here. For most people the pain of losing something is stronger than the pleasure of gaining something. So seeing the $7500 as something that already exists going away caused distress and people flocked to get…

I always have my fog lights on. I paid for em! What do you care anyway? They shine directly on the ground in front of the car...

The rear door on it looks exactly how a pre-schooler would draw a door. It’s just....a door. Rectangle with handle. Square window. Done.

I would definitely be leery of meeting this chap even if the price was right. First step of selling a Nazi-regalia covered car is definitely to rattle-can the whole thing. Anyone not smart enough to start there is really just using the thing as the worst conversation piece ever.

I agree. While $1850 is still only a grand away from where I’d want to be, it is in fact MORE THAN DOUBLE where I’d want to be also. So CP for me. This is a < 1000 dollar car. But hey, maybe you talk the guy down.

The Monarch actually looks fantastic with that card on the hood. I don’t know if it’s the color combo, or the way the rectangle fits right on the hood...but it actually works.

My coworker’s wife has leased three in a row, and now it won’t be available when the leas on her 16 is up. She will be devastated. Weird, huh?

Wait. So this dude chased down the bus and then jumped on board, took over, and held the kid? BALLS

They don’t stain. Some cars I swear to you the cloth will stain with water. They smell nice. In my opinion they look nicer. It makes entry/exit easier because you can slide on them.
