Lol, the actual rich people in my life are people like my grandparents who died and left $4 million in inheritance. They drove shitty cars, lived in an old house, and never flaunted anything.

You think that the idiots buying these things are going to be able to afford gas after their 96 month loan payments and buying whatever other shit they can’t afford just to keep up with their (equally poor) neighbors next door?

What, no Species?  

Any subcompact CUV. Automakers realized that they could add a couple inches of headroom on to a normal hatchback, jack up the price by $5k and Americans would eat that shit up. Fat boomers who wouldn’t be caught dead in a subcompact hatchback are suddenly throwing money at whatever POS slightly taller subcompact CUV…

I’m curious to see if that’s true. Let’s hope that the midwest getting cold, wet, white will refill the lakes and rivers.

Where are you having low lake and river levels? Up here in WI we're pretty much spot on for precipitation recently. 

A bridge is at least several million dollars, and that’s when there’s room to put it in.  

Yup, you’re right, I just grabbed one of the first pics I found. But I’d still take that in a heartbeat (especially with a normal, “American” engine) over the Dart.

I still mourn that we got the Dart instead of the Giulietta on which it was based... Imagine instead of a bloated CUV we’d gotten this, with AWD and a bunch of HP:

$5k for a 4 or 5 year old super-truck with 500hp???

Damn shame about that Mustang, he was only 83 months away from paying it off, too.

An Abarth 124 Spyder I rented for a week down in Albuquerque once.

Correct. The first two clauses relate to a *motor* vehicle. The second two just relates to a *vehicle*.

In Wisconsin driving a lawnmower drunk would be illegal (see: motor).  No clue about the horse, though?  I feel like a halfway decent lawyer could get them out of that one.

Funny thing is that here in WI it’s legal to drive drunk as long as you don’t hurt anyone. The statute against drunk driving specifically mentions “motor vehicle”. (Operation of a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated is Prohibited)

Nah, they’ll probably have died off by the time the new EV muscle cars come out. The average age of the Challenger buyer is over 50 years old, and that’s the *youngest* average of the 3 muscle cars...

Oh, sorry, I meant just the mentality. Yes, legally in almost every state in the country cyclists are treated the same as motor vehicles, but in practice cyclists tend to view themselves (and are viewed by police) as somewhat closer to pedestrians. So in my city I’d get pulled over immediately if I just decided to…

OK, I looked through all the submissions to make sure that it wasn’t listed, but I can’t believe that nobody has said the DeLorean. I saw a conversion car earlier this summer, and everything just looked about perfect. Lightweight, futuristic construction, 2 seater, etc. I honestly can’t think of a better car to bring…

The *only* way that light could have been green is if it had just turned green.  There was an entire line of cars waiting at the red light that he passed.

Cyclists tend to operate in a gray zone between full-on vehicles and full-on pedestrians. If this was a pedestrian jay-walking nobody would care, and if it was a semi-truck running a red light people would be utterly outraged.
