The buyer is probably a New York City resident, who does pay 8.8% tax on purchases.  That’s almost certainly legitimate.  You pay the tax based on where you live and where you are going to register the car.  And they know all the tricks, so if you’re going to try and register it in NJ, you better have all your…

Those assholes have been on my ‘Do Not Buy’ list since 1997. I wanted to buy a new Audi A4, I was going to pay cash, but I didn’t want them to know that so that I could negotiate as well as possible.

My first thought was how could anyone OTHER than MSC Cruises offer this. A complete failure for their marketing and branding people.

I especially like how it lifted the inside rear wheel on the final corner.  No muss, no fuss, leaning just enough to get the wheel off the tarmac.

I actually saw an Fisker Ocean in my neighborhood the other day.  The price is going to have to drop a LOT before I pick one up.  (I also saw a couple Lucid Air models at our local eco fair.  Those I like.  When I can get one for Ocean price, I’m taking a chance.)

I want it NOW! Unfortunately I have two kids starting college in the fall, so I will at least wait out the stupid dealer markup for a year.

Whomever buys this is required to drive it directly to Spokane, WA.

I own a Tag F1, in stainless with a blue face. It’s a nice watch, but it’s not worth the money. I’ve had to have it repaired numerous times in the past 20 years, and I finally had a jeweler find a crack in the winding-stem sleeve that was probably the root cause. From the damn factory. After sending it back to the…

The Eagle Jazz looks like the cursed offspring of an unthinkable three-way between Infiniti J30, an alternate universe Bentley, and a Pontiac WideTrack Grand Prix.

I am the target customer for this. If I didn’t have 2 kids starting expensive colleges in the fall, I would be replacing my FocusRS with this right now.

I had a ‘72 GMC 3/4-ton pickup, so basically the one towing the plane (with quad headlights, because it was a GMC), and while it was a capable truck, I’m not sure I would ever say it had a comfortable ride.

Great video.  And the quattro was the best looking rally car of the era, and yes I know the Lancia exists.  Everything about that car looks like it’s wants to do nothing more than go really fast on really bad roads, and look GOOD doing it.

We had a Pinto when I was a teen, largely because they are basically unkillable and my dad’s commute was 20 miles each way, and at least half of that was on graded gravel, rather than pavement. He had a jackrabbit jump in front of the car, destroy the grill, puncture the radiator, and since it wasn’t summer, he just…

Can’t believe you forget the Citroën CX (and the SM). Not only were they French, with hydropneumatic suspensions, they used Masarati engines. 

Newark is reaching the end of a rather impressive renovation. It’s become *much* nicer. It’s still big & hectic and the TSA lines are still weird at times because of the ongoing renovation, but the food has become much better, the look and feel is much nicer, and it’s just a much better airport.

Though if we’re talking up through 1984, no doubt, Audi quattro.

Citroën SM. Might as well drive something interesting.

Just to clear up some misconceptions, moe is not a Grateful Dead tribute band, but rather a moderately popular (and terribly uninteresting) jam band playing mostly their own songs.

Back in the 90s I saw an Oregon State Police vehicle that was an early 70s Dodge pickup. Looked just like any other crappy 20+ year old farm truck until you got close, then you realized it was mechanically perfect.

In any other racing series the fans & drivers absolutely would care if the practice session was cancelled, on a brand-new track, that nobody has ever driven before, with possible issues with the integrity of the track itself.
