Most of the super to hyper cars all just... end up looking the same. If it wasn’t for the Ferrari red paint jobs I doubt I could even pick them out of a line up.

The off-roading I plan to do in Southern California doesn’t really require a low-range or lockers. Ground clearance, 4WD and good tires will do the trick ,but I want it to be relatively fun to drive as well. A 2nd gen Cayenne should be perfect for the camping, hunting, and mountain biking that I like to do, while…

“Everything was very delayed, and our plate and registration took 4 months to get to us.”

Funny, doesn’t look like a Rover.

The lessee is the owner of the legal right/option to purchase that vehicle should they choose. The dealer is screwing them by after the fact coming in and making that legal right less exercisable by adding in rules not stipulated in the original contract.

The lessee may not own the car but they own the terms of the endorsed contract which binds both the lessor and the lessee. We’d have to see the early termination or buyout terms on the contract which can very by lender. It’s also important to note that the dealer may have shopped the lease terms at inception and the…

The buyout at the end of the lease is like a stock option. The vesting period is the lease term and the strike price is the buyout. You are absolutely entitled to that equity, if there is any, by exercising your option. That’s the contract you signed. It’s the contract they signed.

There’s a big group down here in Atlanta that have turned theirs into overlanders (real ones that can go off-roading) and they almost all have high mileage!

That doesn’t work so well for classic or older cars where NADA may say it’s only worth $5k but the market is dictating $15k.  That’s what makes LightStream great.  As long as you have great credit you can get a great rate on what is essentially an unsecured personal loan.

I’m really tempted login to my PCA account and start chumming the waters for my 55k mile 987.2 Boxster. Based on asking prices I’d get a tidy little profit.

I look forward to getting stuck behind one of these on a trail in Colorado. A lifted Subaru trying to do a 4x4 trail will almost never move over for faster vehicles. Otherwise, it’s kind of neat. There’s lots of lifted Crosstreks in Denver, too.

Until they bring back the old 1980's 4WD system complete with a real transfer case, shift lever, and low range, this will NEVER complete with any proper 4WD vehicle on anything more than the lightest end of a moderate trail.  Once you need to crawl, this will promptly overheat its CVT and refuse to move forward. …

Ummm...Jeep makes other vehicles that offer car-like ride and luxury in a light off-road-capable vehicle. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, for example, has more ground clearance, better breakover angle, and still offers a nice ride...

Interesting. To be fair, wanting something that oddball specific (I can’t imagine there are many Trailhawk V6's out there, let alone one not in grayscale) means they were falling all over them selves to move the one that *almost* matched what you wanted, hence the locker install comment. You were probably never going…

Had to drive through Austin a few months ago (well, last year) and it was... eye popping at how big it has become.

The only time regular old white dude me felt uncomfortable stopping anywhere in the U.S. was years ago in south Louisiana. Pulled in to a small town gas station off a little state highway to fill up and there was the most beautiful girl behind the counter. A real Cajun-French goddess. Then I noticed the several good…

“but this isn’t a negotiation, is it? Chief Hoskin has definitively stated that naming a car and profiting greatly off of that nameplate is not honoring the Cherokee Nation.”

You know what they say in Texas...El Paso.

Fellow F31 owner here and I agree.   Thought hard about an All Road as they look better but the rear biased BMW AWD is more dynamic.   

Look, I like wagons. I have actually purchased a new 6MT, turbo, AWD wagon. My brother has an F30 BMW 3 series wagon that replaced his previous wagon. The fact that wagons basically don’t exist in the market anymore is all the proof you need that they weren’t selling in the US when they were still available.
