What is it with Apple’s obsessiveness with symmetry?

Also part of your worst case: no warranty and heavy depreciation. If you don’t care about the loss of value, you should enjoy the asset.

I was thinking the same thing, but that’s a lot of money to pay out monthly in the hopes that it will appreciate. There are better investments, especially when you’re dealing with six figures.

Pretty much the case for all automotive leather.

No, they’re perfectly capable of catching up. It’s just safer to use a radio. The problem is there aren’t many exits, so if there isn’t another trooper to intercept, breaking chase was probably the safest move.

I lived in Colorado. I know that stretch of I-70 very well. It’s anything but straight. Go look at a map. You can feel the curves in some spots when you’re doing 75. I can’t imagine doing double that speed during the day, let alone in the dark.

There’s way, way worse on the market. I think what they’ve done with their SUVs and crossovers are quite handsome. If it looked like a BMW or an Audi, everyone would say GM copied the Germans.

Remington went bankrupt in large part because they made a very popular hunting rifle (the Model 700) that would randomly discharge without pulling the trigger. People died because of that flaw and Remington was being successfully sued because of it. It was well covered by 60 minutes and a rather frightening segment if…

I drove an ATS courtesy car while our Caddy was in service. I have to admit I liked the haptic response touch controls and motorized phone/mp3 player cubby in the dashboard. We’re due to replace my daily - my mother in law’s Lexus ES300.

Anyone have one of these? Do you really have to press the brake to shift from Reverse to Drive? How do you rock your Jeep out of a rut from mud or snow?

“or to have its Domino’s-themed exterior markings and hardware removed.”

I think this GIF summarizes the collective Kinja response. When Faraday Future actually rolls a car off the production line, let us know. Until then, please update us all on the mid-engine Corvette because that shit looks like it’s finally happening.

Didn’t Jalopnik do a whole article a while back about how 2 door SUVs don’t sell? As I recall, there are a few exceptions (Jeep Wrangler) but automakers eventually phase out the 2 door models because they don’t move as well as the 4 door versions. 

I learned to parallel park with my dad’s 88 Lincoln Town Car. I learned to drive stick on his 79 Corvette. Neither was ideal, but I got the skills down on cars that are not easy to maneuver and difficult to reverse. It’s hard to know where the fenders ended on either of them.

Dayum! Never bothered to search. Just repeated something I heard from a mechanic friend. Lots of one-of-a-kind parts nonetheless.

Total production for the Reatta: 21,000. I couldn’t find sales numbers for GM U-bodies, but do I really have to? Fleet sales alone in a single year would drown the Reatta’s production total.

I only know one thing about the Reatta: If the windshield gets cracked, you’re combing Craigslist for a parts car. In fact, if you are into this car at all, go ahead and get a couple of parts cars now.

To be fair, if Vin Diesel ran for president, I’d consider voting for him over the sentient tire fire that currently occupies the office.

Damn, you nailed so many good things here. The one piece of advice most people don’t get is you can save on interest by paying down principal. Did this years ago on my Acura and shortened my loan term by more than a year.

Jeez. It like you got the same lesson I did from my dad, but with the wrong attitude. Not only that, but it sounds like you didn’t bother to pay down any of the principal while you covered the interest. I bought an Acura TL in 2005. Put down about $17k and financed the rest over 5 years and overpaid the loan every…
