Fuck that noise. Unless it’s a complete wreck inside and filled with fast-food wrappers and empty coffee cups and gym clothes, anyone who says that about a potential suitor’s car is a herpes-encrusted asshole.

Not sure if serious.

If someone said that to me, I’d be grateful that I was forewarned that they are a bitch.

You know the stories are going to be good when the top pic is a B5 S4 wagon.

Please, Infinity’s are much cheaper.

Because that would be way worse for lower income people who can’t afford to buy a new car?

Porsche’s CEO not knowing anything about the diesel engines is like the Lamborghini CEO not knowing anything detailed about the hybrid engines.

On the VW bullshit scale, I find this one somewhat believable.

It is just really easy to forget that you can purchase a 2016 BMW Z4.

There are some after-market conversion companies that do really well with creating a product that isn’t offered by the factory. However, sometimes (and this is one such case) the visual appeal is lacking. That hack-job on the roof looks like shit. It might have functioned correctly, but I really don’t see it as a…

I say we bug the guy to drop $600.

Do you honestly believe they would be making $70k trucks is they didn’t sell?

What’s the difference between buying a loaded F-150 versus a similarly priced E-Class or 5-Series? If anything you get more potential functionality out of the truck whereas the E and 5 are more status symbol than anything else. I get it, 95% of the Lariats, King Ranches, Platinums and Limiteds will never see an…

People who want them? Don’t try to shame these people. Some of us need them around so these vehicles are available used in the next 3 years at pennies on the dollar because gas prices went up.

My Mom. She likes the luxury and comfort, but hauls horses and gear. Used it just the other week to throw the gates and posts for new pens in the back. Pulled the trailer to the lumber yard for run-in sheds. All while keeping us super comfy.

I don’t think your royal “we” can be be inclusive of everyone. The truth is that all types of people buy vehicles for varied reasons. I would. Have to agree with the original poster that I see Raptors driven by younger people, whether they can afford them or not, I don’t know and frankly don’t care.

Lives somewhere where $1200/month only rents you a 1BR apartment, criticizes someone for paying that much to actually own a highly capable vehicle. Sounds legit.

To be honest: The same people buying $70k cars. Except with a pickup you get advantages such as: 1) Better depreciation 2) Better utility 3) Reasonably priced options (looking at you BMW and Mercedes)

The loaded truck is the new Cadillac. It makes sense when you realize sedans are dying off and high riding vehicles are taking over.

No one is. They get discounted to the mid to high $50k’s, and they’re worth it. Way nicer than any of the luxury cars we had growing up while still doing everything asked of it while holding decent resale value. And still get 20+ on the highway.

Oh, if I must. :)
