Since the border is essentially closed to non-essential travel, you would need to hire an auto transporter (at least $1500 unless you live right on the border) and a customs broker ($350) to get the car across.

Who tf wants to go back to the movies right now?

Agreed about the stupidity of how most Wranglers are outfitted – there’s one in my apartment building’s garage with the “snorkel” feature – but OTOH they still command solid resale values. Similar story with vehicles like Mini Coopers or even the discontinued FJ Cruiser, which now resells in many cases for more than…

I’d vote for any 3- series BMW absent an internal “E” badge (basically anything made after 2010), as well as all 4-series models. The F30 line was the first where they switched to the electric-steering systems they still haven’t perfected – a colossal problem for a vehicle (formerly) renowned for its handling. Along…

Used-car prices are still absurdly high, but yes, the 911 has outstanding resale value even during normal times (with the lone exception of the 996, given its excessively shared parts with the Boxster/Cayman at the time).

Porsches are “fugly”? Seriously?? I know looks are subjective – and I’d concur re: at least a few models, e.g. the stupid Cayenne “fastback” – but the 911 is an automotive icon for good reason.

Still so weird with Iris being in only a single scene across two episodes – the first of which centered around her own possible pregnancy reveal! The writers did a solid job of scripting around Iris’s absence, but it was still odd. (OTOH this is also a show that purposely had Joe simply “disappear” for half a season…

Last year, in a feat of astonishing greed, Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash poured $200 million into buying a law that safeguards their profits and screws their struggling workers.

They squeezed at least ten seasons out of “Smallville” and 15 out of “Supernatural,” so don’t be too sure.

Us Weekly’s little birds report that America’s most over-the-top, possibly-fake, and definitely-disgusting couple have been riding out the duration of quarantine on Blake’s ranch in Oklahoma. This has been taxing on both of them, which is understandable, since their relationship makes no sense and also, is maybe fake?

It’s also not even remotely a “guarantee” of fair employee treatment, as anyone who’s ever worked for minimum wage at Walmart can attest.

Rather, he proposes a “third way”—something where he wouldn’t be required to consider these drivers employees, but where they wouldn’t be straight contractors, either.

Interesting – my ‘03 E46 only had a CD player (a single one at that, but still). Definitely no antiquated cassettes, and I was very glad it didn’t come with a nav system that is nearly as obsolete (circa 2020, that is).

Not sure if I’d classify anything with 193K miles as being in “reasonably good condition,” at least without knowing its complete service history (emphasis on complete, e.g. everything done since the car was first sold new).

I parted ways a while back with my ‘03 E46. It was still cherry when I bought it back in 2012 (only 35,000 miles), but over the course of the next four years – which, to be clear, only involved driving another 25K miles or so – my total cumulative maintenance & repair bill was nearly $14,000. And that was without any…

Yes, now does feel like the best of all possible moments to disappear into the woods and never come back—or at least take a weekend hiking trip and fantasize about the simplicity of living off the fat of the land—but we’ve all been told to limit non-essential travel. You don’t have an excuse anymore. Stay the fuck…

I run two Airbnbs – possibly worse, they’re in Austin, which may have gotten hit harder than any other domestic city by virus-related cancellations thanks to SXSW’s cancellation. Not only is pretty much every available Airbnb booked; they usually rent for 5x the normal amount.

Thing is, this is the gig economy we’re talking about, where if you don’t work, you don’t get paid.

As it so happens, I’ve owned both an E39 540i (w/automatic) – bought new – as well as a 2003 E46 330i (w/stick & bought eight years ago w/40K miles on the odometer). CRACK PIPE FOR DAYS.

1. It’s a Granada, not a Monarch. You can tell by the center placement of the fuel cap. (It’s the same spot on current Mustangs where there’s a faux cap mimicking the ‘60s original.)
