That wasn’t a typo, that was a mind fart . . . ;-)

This is more of a design process/inadequate budget issue than the actual construction. A decade ago, MODOT completely closed and rebuilt I-64/US-40, just west of St Louis. It was (and still is) four lanes wide, in each direction, in both St Louis (to the east) and Ladue (to the west), but was three lanes wide going…

“If you buy a car on a 60 year loan”, any car, you need to have your head examined . . . 

Future collectible?! I think not. It’s not much different from a Monte Carlo compared to a Camaro. While slightly sporty will always bring more than a basic 4-door sedan, most collectibles are truly unique, not just slightly unique. It’s either a $5K daily driver or a weekend conversation piece, not something 99% of…

I like it, but I’d like it way more at $18K-$20K. Unfortunately, ND, for me.

Standard, just like the cigarette lighter, multiple ashtrays, and no seat belts or airbags.

More likely, extended sheet metal and an open bed on a Jeep Cherokee variant, since the line is already set up to build it..

Belvidere’s last product was a unibody (Jeep Cherokee), so pivoting to a Maverick/Santa Cruz competitor would simplify retooling.

Gun racks in the back window made sense back when all pickups were single cabs and the gas tank was behind the bench seat, the 1960s, when it was the only available real estate to stash a long gun.  Today?  Not so much.

It looks like they failed to include age discrimination, as well . . .

If I was planning on keeping something for 50+ years, I’d be buying a base Toyota Tacoma. With fewer things to break and cockroach-like reliability, I’d be enjoying the functionality and not spending increasing amounts of time just trying to get things fixed.

“Too many cars” + impending snow = convertible sports car is the one that needs to go . . .

That looks like one of those new Rivian electric vans that Amazon is using.

Accuracy is directly related to menu complexity.  Raising Cane’s is thriving simply because they do one thing well.

We just traded in a ‘15 i3 . . . used EVs are a great deal but come with a different set of challenges. Range and charging are a couple of obvious ones, while an annual “alternative fuels” fee of $95 (here in Missouri), high(er) insurance rates (due to the high original purchase price and the difficulty in repairing…

For that money, a used Crosstrek makes far more sense . . .

Compared to the previous generation, the hood is significantly higher, mostly, I assume, to accommodate the stylistically larger grille.  Are there any packaging reasons with the turbo 4 for the hood to be higher?  Or, is it simply about style and compensation?

Is there a delete option for all that cladding?!

Two words - depreciation curve. It’s probably worth what they’re asking, for what it is, right now. But add 10,000 miles, it’ll be worth half; add another 10,000, it’ll be worth, at best, $2,500. Get in a wreck and no insurance company will give you more than $3,000, so it’ll end up totaled.  ND.

FWD or RWD?  Either way, ND!
