But I faxed you those VIN numbers!

It’s almost like no one on Dan’s team has ever see the movie Fargo.

I was thinking the same thing - he’s got a 2021 Pilot. The reason to buy something like a Honda or Toyota, as opposed to some cheaper and/or more exciting alternative, has always been long term low cost of ownership and piece of mind. Selling/trading in after only 3 years pretty much negates much of that benefit.

Keep driving the Honda and put that money into your retirement.

Not one mention of the classic white panel van?

The Mean Machine from Wacky Racers. This thing didn’t just cause Whiplash, it carried it.

Mid-late 2000s Chevy Impala. You got about an equal chance the driver is either a rural retired Karen, a bunch of government guys in trench coats, or a tourist in a rental that’s gonna drive it like an Altima.

In the context of the movie:

For the association:

I thought it handled GREAT!

We should also acknowledge the fact that 80s GM/Chrysler products will run like absolute dogshit for longer than any modern car will run at all.

Another thing of note: The minimum Liability Coverage is waaay to low to reflect the rising costs of repairs.

I’m sure floods play a part too. My father had a very nice 5 year old Range Rover totaled out due to minor flood damage. The car was completely drivable, ran fine, only issue was the stereo would not play music and the carpets smelled a little musty. If insurance hears “water damage” they total the vehicle…

1980 is about the worse year to compare to for a couple reasons:

Good! Electric cars are a nightmare on every level. I haven't had a positive experience of one yet.

As we called them in high school “plywood pleasure palaces”.

I consider myself firmly middle-class, and I can’t conceive of giving a first time driver a new vehicle. Something small, thoroughly used, handed down multiple times and with bodywork which looks like Mickey Rourke, yes.

Class action lawsuit incoming!
