2nd gen Buick Regal, hmmm..

I’m convinced that the Russian bots that are trying to influence our elections are using the NPOND polls as a training ground, because lately we’ve been seeing some voting that really has me concerned. With some of the cars posted in the last few days we should have seen a 100% result either way (yes on the Ford…

If you keep it far from road salt or significant moisture, the rust should be a slow burn. And the interior looks nice. But I wouldn’t want to drive around in (or have to explain) somebody else’s joke. I’d want to restore it, and for that, the price of entry needs to be far less.

I think I can count on one hand the number of new Zs I have seen on the roads here. I hate to be the “the economy” guy, but pricing and the state of our *waves around to everything* has just made toy cars unattainable for most of us.

2024 Maverick Hybrid starts at $27265 with freight, 2024 Miata starts at $30170 with freight.

I wouldn’t call the Ferrari 296 bloated. 

I want to agree with you, but if you adjust for inflation, a base model Miata in 1989 would have been priced at $35,000 in today’s currency. That’s more than the $30,170 of the current base model. If any thing the car has gotten cheaper in real dollars.

If Mazda drops the Miata they become just another automaker. The Miata is a halo like unlike any other. If Nissan can afford to sell the “Z” with only minor modifications for 100 years, then Mazda can do the same... heck, it needs to do the same. So much of the brand’s goodwill is tied up in that one car. And let’s…

Somehow I see more of these monstrosities every week where I live and yet I just laugh and laugh at every piece of news about how broken they are and shake my head about how many deeply gullible people there are to buy them.

I will pick a nit with you on Porsche- the Cayman/Boxster is a fantastic old school drivers car. That said, it’s going electric and as a GT4 owner, I feel ya.

Forget the car, I want that lift setup!

It seems perhaps isolated to focus on these buildings, but urban centers are actually ecosystems. There are all sorts of supporting restaurants, FedEx sites, fast-food, bars, taxi/Uber drivers, etc. that all grew up and matured based on pre-pandy numbers. Knock the GM occupants down by 80% and expect an approx 80%…

The internal structure of the Ren Cen is such that it would be obscenely expensive to try to convert any of the towers to residential. It would be more cost effective to simply demolish the building and rebuild, which is what should be done.

I once went to a Nissan dealership during the middle of the day (office was shut down early and everyone was sent home) so it was just about empty.

There are brands and dealerships I absolutely will not consider because they’re such smarmy douchebags. Eventually it's going to catch up to them. 

I had not driven any Nissan product in probably a decade until I got saddled with a Rogue as a rental back in March. Brand new, less than 5K miles on it. There were so many rattles and squeaks and road noise, it was unbelievable. The interior materials may as well have come from a 20-year old Accord. The engine was…

Nissan’s dealers are killing the company. I had a 2004 Xterra which was a great, bare-bones vehicle. Owned some other cars in between, and in 2018 put Nissan on the list of cars to look at with my wife. The dealers we visited were so smarmy that my wife was categorically turned off by them. (I didn’t love the vehicle o…

Nissan is the next Mitsubishi. Boring, forgettable cars that will soon be nothing more than rental fleet fodder.

I can’t believe you can lease an Ariya for $199/mo. All jokes aside about Nissans being crappy, it is a competent new EV with decent range for less than my parents pay for cable and internet every month.

“S&P Global cut Nissan’s credit rating to junk in March of last year.”
