K, don’t use this vehicle for that or buy the AWD version. I’ve found that FWD based AWD vehicles are pretty bad at being AWD vehicles. This seems to be an entry level commuter car where AWD is not something I would prefer. I have a separate 4x4 vehicle for doing snow/sand/truck stuff the Kicks is not that and anyone…

When the Altima ceases to exist all other Nissans become Altimas.

Am I the only one who prefers to buy vehicles without AWD? I have a rare FWD CX-5 Grand Touring (top trim level with FWD). I don’t see the justification of dragging around extra weight that reduces fuel economy and performance while increasing maintenance. It also means that a spare should be the size as a normal tire…

They are both pretty decent transmissions honestly.  The biggest problem is people who do a trans flush and use a generic ATF instead of the Dexron VI.  Also, like all GM transmissions they are hit or miss.  Some of them go 300k no problem, some develop shift flairs and hard shifts at 80k.  They just build so many of…

He really took DeJoy out of the job.

Chances are that’s where it came from. Way to garish for Annapolis. Although the dirty Burnie (Glen Burnie) might be where this picture was taken- which tracks.

S-car go is only if there is a snail under the hood.

Since people started suggesting American made sedans I’ll go with the 4-door version of the Hudson Hornet which dominated NASCAR in the early 50's.  All the Hornets came with the high output straight 6 and were not that different from the race cars.

The E39 is the obvious answer so I’ll go with something a bit newer but also German- the 2008 Audi RS4 sedan. 420hp at 7800 rpm from an NA 4.2L V8 mated to a 6 speed manual trans. 8 piston Lambo brakes in the front. As long as you have money for the absurd maintenance its great.

Yea but the trans is broken at 200k.

I could do with out the 700hp engine but looking at those buttons and knobs and nicely integrated screen is making me want to check out a Durango.  The base V6 is pushing out 300hp which is plenty.

On one hand I think if he left the window down when they asked him initially the whole thing would’ve gone different. On the other hand they went full on crazy as shit when he didn’t listen. As a cop though when someone has tints and they start rolling the window up you have no idea what they are going to pull.

The Bolt and Leaf are both pretty affordable and the Tesla 3 starts around $40k which is expensive but still below the average cost of a new vehicle and pretty reasonable once the tax rebate is taken off.  The Tesla 3 is still probably one of the best performing cars for the price.

At least it can’t fail any worse...

The fact that this is an automatic is more impressive.  Automatic Honda’s usually fail way earlier.

No Smokey and the Bandit?  I feel like there’s some solid work in there.

You see the Jersey plates?  That explains it right there.

“and then I was done with maintenance.”  Kind of implies that you don’t do any maintenance.

Is it like a foul ball where if I catch it I can keep it?  BRB going to NM.

Power/weight ratio is much more of a factor. Cars are getting heavier, especially since the advent of EV’s. The fact is you need more power to move a 5,000 lbs sedan that 15 years ago was a 3,500 lbs sedan.  I’d say a 0-60 of sub 8.5 seconds is all I need which is what every vehicle I’ve owned has been able to do. …
