My wife’s BMW X1 (or any entry level luxury brand car).
She constantly refers to her “truck.”
That’s right.... “Truck”, because she heard a salesman call it a CUV or SUV or some dumb shit. To be clear, she parks it next to not one, but TWO BOF vehicles (a ‘12 Pathfinder and a ‘21 Titan).
Now, I am too smart to correct…

I will admit to some confusion to the intent of your reply. As I tried to parse it out, I was left to go over the whole gear...
I don’t think what ChatGPT is doing is copywriting, based on their description of its usage. But, you brought up the part about “...accuracy isn’t worth having to pay copywriters....”
Soooo, I…

“because accuracy isn’t worth having to pay copywriters.”
Do you realize quite how often Jalopnik’s articles get corrected by readers?
I am left to wonder if Gizmodo has any copywriters on staff...

That’s cool to hear.  I knew about the comparisons of the 2002 to the Datsun 510 (Brock Yates, and all that).  I think the 510 was called “the poor man’s 2002".  I haven’t considered the comparison of the B13 to the 2002.  It may be because you are the only person I have heard of that has both :)!!

I had an acquaintance that raced enduros. 6 hour stints, maybe? I think he was in a class called Showroom Stock. His second gen gave up in a race (That was the QR25DE, not the SR). All the symptoms of a head gasket, but it wasn’t.
The factory bought it back and started to realize that getting away from evap and into…

The Egg!  I had a buddy of mine run one with me during track days at VIR.  I was more than a little jealous.

The Classic SE-R....
Nissan’s ‘90-’94 B13 chassis had the SR20DE motor in it, which had something Civics only dreamed about: torque.
It was beloved of Sport Compact Car, Motor Trend, et. al. It was the anti-Civic. If you weren’t around, Civics and Integras were the Jeeps of today; everyone had one and they were all…

I was today years old that I found out there was a publication called “Superyacht Times.”
Oi.

I have.
Oi.
71.4k a piece.
MSRP or cost, I don’t know, but they were 65k per when they got to that lady mentioned in the article. That isn’t a bad fence. Even my most reliable crackheads  middlemen will give me 50% off retail.

The car was advertised at a price that included the warranty.
It did not actually include the warranty; that was extra. The advertised price did not fall into your scenario because the advertised price was the lower of the two price points. That is a violation of whatever code he quoted.
Therefore, in this case,…

Do you really not understand, or are you just trolling?

“I am advertising <thing A> as a thing that includes <thing b> in the advertised price.”

“Great, I will take <thing A> for the advertised price”

“Fantastic. IF you want <thing b>, that is an additional $350"

“Er, no. You SAID you were selling <thing A> that includes…

I feel like I have answered some version of this before.....
Third gen Nissan Pathfinder to fourth gen.
What did it lose?
Low gearing
Auto slushbox
Traditional 4x4
BOF

What did it gain?
CVT
Being mistaken for a minivan
Not even that much better a ride.

I fully expect any replies to also include such classics as:
“The WD21 was the…

I wanted to make a joke about ChatGPT creating this, but it would likely be more accurate an article.

If this was based on the R50 (it was), then it was NOT body-on-frame.
This was Unibody.
Gens 1 and 3 were BOF.

Use less energy?
It is a solution, if not a palatable one.

Nothing has too much power for the right driver.

Any 4G63T Lancer Evo that we got legally . Sure, it was AWD, but it had (for its time), stupid power that could be unlocked to stupider power, either aftermarket or through one of the 11,284 special editions. It’s power was so stupid that Mitsu lied about it to maintain their gentlemen’s agreement on power (though I…

This gem:

People can think 2+2 =5 for 2o years; it doesn’t change the fact that they are wrong.
I might be okay with them being interchangeable, except two and three part wheels exist.
That the “enthusiast” doesn’t know that will immediately make me judge them, which is the whole point of this QOTD:
“What is the dumbest thing an…

Promissory estoppel is what will be used in court, I am certain.
