That’s correct. It’s either a one time fee of $12k, or $199/month (until they change the prices two weeks from now). If you were interested in having the feature, you’d have to consider how long you plan on owning the car. The break even point is 5 years at these prices, so if you’re just leasing it for 3 years, it…

Dead to me: VW GTI and Golf R

Agreed, I got an Axial SCX24 Gladiator and it’s pretty fun to play with indoors over the winter.

Correct, the truck must be constrained to a metrology lab conditioned to 20 Celsius and 1 Atmosphere

To put this into perspective, a regular piece of printer paper is about 90 microns thick, so Elon expects a whole damn car to be accurate to within roughly 1/10 the thickness of a piece of paper. That’s not possible on a consumer vehicle. Hell, even that recent $30,000,000 Rolls Royce wouldn’t have tolerances that…

Whispers, the official messaging app of insider trading

Counter point: I bought a used Mazda CX-5 and installed a K&N cabin filter and an AEM oil-free engine air filter. If I drive the vehicle 250,000 km (which I plan on), the cost of the cheapest filters on Amazon would be $225, while the reusable filters and the cleaning solutions would be $210. So I do save a tiny…

I sat through the trailer while playing Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 to get the free car (an R35 GT-R, obviously). The trailer looked awful with lots of cliche roles.

Last month I bought a 2017 Mazda CX-5 6MT/2.0L with 102,000km (63,400 miles) for $19,995 CDN ($14,880 USD).

Cool themed story, but did you find any dually Suburbans?

I can see this issue from both sides. If F1 is providing special access for celebrities, the celebrities should provide special access for F1. Sure, Cara was a guest of Alfa Romeo, not F1, but it’s still F1's race.

It’s pretty wild that Fiat, as a whole, has only sold 277 cars so far in the US this year. The 500X is the only thing they still sell.

We don’t always get gouged, sometimes we actually get a better deal. I remember when the Focus RS first came out the Canadian version ended up being about $5000 cheaper after exchange rate and all Canadian versions included a bonus set of winter tires on aluminum wheels in the trunk. The Canadian Civic SI also…

What about the Maverick? Back in 2022 when it was first announced the starting price in Canada was $25,900, now they start at $31,100, a $5200/20% increase within the span of two years.

Brent Krishna, the Muh Sheen

That’s so weird, because I thought my truck had zero options (manual trans/windows/locks/brakes/steering, no AC, two speaker stereo, no rear bumper, regular cab, short bed, steel wheels).

Really? My 1993 B2200 was a base model and it was EFI (in Canada). I always thought 1992 and 1993 were EFI, all earlier models were carb’d.

Tacky

Same here, I’d have one in an instant if they were available. I even looked at Japanese auctions to see how much an imported one would be.
