The car to buy 5 years ago was a 308 or a 328. That said, they were moderately diyable so the discount means something, but with a modern Ferrari, that really isn’t the case.

Yes, I have an 86 911.

Do what I did. My kid is 1. I bought an immaculate 1998 4Runner for daily and daddy duty for 5500, spent about 1500 in preventative maintenance, lifted it and put big assed tires (if I’m gonna drive something slow at least it will be mean) and the thing is goddamn bullet proof, even though it won’t win footraces.…

Yes, absolutely. And to be honest, with the right visual mods, the E60 looks pretty awesome and mean, so.... my apologies for picking on your ride, I could have found a better comparison :).

That 7 series is a lot of ugly. I agree the bangle 5 has aged better. And it’s purely subjective. But next to the E39, it makes my heart hurt.

Christ, the California has one of the ugliest rear ends I’ve seen since the bangle-assed 5 series.

Anyone who honestly believes this thing will slot “alongside” the Cayman is bonkers. I seriously doubt this will happen.

I have something like 80 gigs of music I’ve been collecting since the 1990s. Lately I just want to get back to albums instead of endless singles. One day I’ll put all my digital music into playlists and get rid of probably half of it. But anyway. I feel like as I get older I just want to listen to something that’s…

You mean dealers don’t give bullshit reasons about why they don’t have “room to budge” on a price, only to come down significantly later?

You do need alcohol. Especially when you’re getting families together. At all costs get an open bar. Agree on the seating. Keep the ceremony and dinner short and sweet. Agree on getting a friend to marry you. That friend knows you and will be more sincere and funnier than an officiant who is reciting a planned speech.

Can someone please explain how the dealer model works from a dealer purchasing perspective? Do they actually buy/finance inventory? or do they pay to keep it on their lots for a fee? What do they actually pay and what are their margins on an actual sale, without the bullshit explanations that dealers give.

CP: Normally, 2500 for a running car like this one is NP all day long, but the prices for an XJR in good condition are low enough that after the general maintenance needed, I’d rather just spend the 8-10k for a nicer one.

Instead you prefer to waste time by clarifying your perspective and making snide comments about whether or not someone should Facebook less? To address your data specifically. You’re comparing apples to oranges. Both immigration policy and circumstance in Europe are completely different. Attitudes would be really hard…

Eh. You’re making some generalizations based on data that imply you’re OK with deporting illegal immigrants because other countries do it while ignoring a bunch of context. It isn’t a huge leap. The points people are making to you aren’t really too unfair, and by not out and out refuting them and taking a specific…

I’ll never chill. You chill.

Cherokee isn’t really marketed or sold as an offroad vehicle, it’s a city SUV. Toyota 4Runner - and the Land Cruiser Prado, which actually is the “Land Cruiser” in this video (essentially a 4Runner), are specifically more rugged offerings. For more road-oriented SUVs they have the Sequoia and Highlander.

Turns out its the LC Prado in this review, which is a 4Runner

Fair enough. Except we are both wrong. The Land Cruiser Prado - which is in this review, is actually not a Land Cruiser - it’s the 4Runner platform.

Isn’t the Prado on the same platform and available there?

Let me rephrase. The 4Runner is among the best offroad SUVs available. Period. Just because Toyota has two of them, seems like it shouldn’t be left out.
