I must be the only person who’s never had an issue with O’Hare, despite using it for decades (until recently, I lived no more than a 10-minute’s drive, door to door).

I'm Canadian. Don't start. If you can't drive regular old sedan in the snow, you shouldn't be driving in the snow. besides, I've seen way more 4x4s in the ditch after a storm than I have regular cars. I recall one drive home where I counted 74 vehicles off the road and 72 were trucks/utes.

Also to add to complications, late 90s and early 00s vw/audi (VAG) immobilizers can be temporarily disabled with the right tools. I accidentally did that when programming a key in a MKIV Jetta. Actually ran with it like that for awhile

Thankfully most B5 Audis come with a built-in kill switch called "being an Audi". He wouldn't have gotten too far.

There shouldn't be any "fines" issued by a fictional prosecutor (the State/govt). Courts were established to handle legitimate cases where someone experienced a loss or harm by the hands of another party. Today, "Traffic courts" are just another scheme to extract $$$ from people while painting a thin layer of…

I hate "progressive" fines like these. Should we do the same for jail time, based on how much free time someone has? Tanya accidentally killed someone, but she's a single mom with two jobs and three kids, so let's give her 6 months. Bill didn't mean to kill that guy either, but he's unemployed and pretty much just…

I also don't have a garage but rather a driveway that really only fits one car...guess who parks there?

I'm one of those people who will pay a little more and buy new cars or nearly new cars, rely on the warranty and take it to the dealer or a trustworthy shop for service. I work three jobs, I'm married, have a two year old and another on the way. There are simply not enough hours in the day for me to spend wrenching on…

Redneck? It's Morrow, Georgia, outside of Atlanta. Think more donks & dubs crowd than good ol' boys.

Derp...

Undisputed, Antonov AN-225.

Im not sure it is illegal in states like Alabama which don't have emissions inspections.

That's revenue, but what is the profit?

If you were pushing the clutch to the floor that was likely the source of your bucking and issues. Clutch all the way down on a big rig is a clutch brake. It stops the idle shaft so that you can get into gear from a stop, or something like that. I don't have a CDL, just drove some from parking areas to the shop for my…

Something something global standardization of crash, emissions and efficiency standards would reduce federalization costs and would, for example, help manufacturers offer more niche Euro-only models in the USA.

You've got a typo there. You said "5 years" but I believe you intended to say "5 minutes".

honestly, the Toyota's have traditionally had better resale than their Lexus counterparts with this vehicle.

Well, Tavarish isn't wrong. Smart money will buy a car, a smarter man will make enough money that it doesn't matter.

I'm glad you're a foil to Tavarish. I've never leased and probably never will, but his article comes off a little insulting to those who do. Some of his articles in general come off condescending or just plain rude to anyone who doesn't ascribe to the whole "only buy used" philosophy despite the fact that if everyone…
