Yup. Literally the only people who should be buying a car are the people who desperately need one, or those who can happily pay the massive inflated price that dealers are charging. Everyone else should just make their current vehicle last a little longer.

Sorry, that’s a factory ad-on and is not compatible with your current trim level.
Dunno, I wash my jeans every couple months on a cold cycle, and they’ve been fine. Hell, they usually go out of style before they lose their “shape and color”.
I was going to suggest the Red Wedding (hey, it’s a dinner party!), but yeah, that one works too.
Yup. “How do I avoid getting screwed by buying this specific item in a high-demand, low-inventory market?” is really sort of a leading question. The answer is, “you don’t.” Make your current car last for another couple years, or suck it up and bend over. There really aren’t too many other choices.
I’m still kind of kicking myself that I didn’t buy one back in ‘08/’09 when GM was blowing them out. Sub-$20k WRX? Yes please!
Just FYI, even shipped at $839 it’s still going to be $1k overall after install costs (most people don’t have access to welding equipment), on what is basically a $4k car.
Lol, yup, it’s certainly the the consumers’ fault, definitely not the fact that cars today are bloated monstrosities that are priced far, far higher than their historical counterparts. A 2001 Integra started at $32k (in today’s dollars), for something that was light, fast and fun to drive. Any guesses as to how much…

“Specs don’t tell the real story!”
Or perform like the CR-Z.
This might work if (and that’s a huge if) they’re willing to drop the MSRP. I’m fine with building to order if it means I get to pay a couple grand less. But right now it means that if I want to build-to-order I’m going to pay full retail, and if I want to buy that random gray car that’s been sitting on the lot for…
People who want a la carte cable channels fall in to one of two catergories:
GM wasn’t taking a risk, they were trying to dry-hump the Baby Boomer nostalgia horse and got fucked by it instead. Throw all those POS cars on the bonfire of history and just forget they ever existed. SSR, HHR, PT Cruiser, Thunderbird, Prowler, etc. None of them had any appeal to people born after ~1960, and the SSR…
I would have put up with a lot of shit from my gf if it meant I could occasionally drive a Lotus Esprit.
Knowing how dumb I was with a ~140hp Camaro (yay, 1970s malaise era!) that was rusted to shit by the time I got it, I believe I probably wouldn’t have survived to adulthood if I’d been given anything faster when I was growing up.
I’d recommend a Miata. Not boring, sensible enough for a 16yo driver, and best of all, no back seat for him to get in to trouble in...
Yes, how dare I trust (checks notes) Harley David’s own quarterly statements.
Lol, notice how none of the (HD-supplied) PR release notes how many bikes were sold to minorities or young people, or what percentage of their buyers that is? It also doesn’t have any type of increase like “we increased our sales to African American buyers by 38%!!” or whatever.
