It’s owned by a shady idiot, clearly. You really gonna but a beat up S4 owned by an idiot for any price? CP and done.

How much for the Mazdaspeed?

At Eisenhower, you’re at/around 45% lost. You’re making less power than the V6 does at sea level now.

Because you didn’t know different. Drive it, then a turboed car of the same power and you’ll notice. You don’t realize the power is gone because you get used to it here.

More like 40%. Denver is 20% at 5280. Density altitude is a real pain.

yay cracked tires. R-compound no likey cold weather. Not precisely safe for them. It’s not the traction I’m worried about, it’s if they’ll ~survive~

Sport availability is based on location. In Denver, 50-60% on the lots are sports (with the rest being ~ 30% rubicon, 20% sahara). Which is great, since you can get 90% of either of them for less by ticking option boxes on the sport. I love mine.

Yeah, I’m ignoring the key recall on my Camaro. I like the switchblade key, I don’t want a two-part key because it’s fucking UGLY. I’d have to be a contortionist to actually hit the key with my knee, that was just an idiot who wanted to sue.

Neither. While I occasionally end up with one other person in my own car (either my wife or a friend), I don’t drive people around, and I don’t ride in other peoples’ cars. Why would I? I meet my friends places when we’re going out, or we all take Uber somewhere. There’s no reason for me to play taxi service, and…

Why? Don’t they have cars too? Other than occasional Uber’s, adulthood is when you get to stop rising in other people’s cars.

Hah!

I can agree on the cloth/leather, that’s sane (although I like leather in general), but the sunroof... I’ll never get that one. Sun is awesome.

Four doors are only good if you have kids.

You willingly bought a Versa Note?!?

I don’t think it is; quite the contrary in fact. I just don’t get the hate around what happens as a result: once a place gets nice, people want to live there, which means people offer more money, which means property changes hands at a higher cost than before, which often correlates with higher rents too

Except that drives up prices. Only so much space in a certain area, so people who want to live there are often willing to pay more... that’s just free market, no?

Ugh.

How about a link to the source article?

But that also tends to lead to gentrification; when some place becomes nice, people want to move there.

He’s not wrong though, that’s the problem. Prior to gentrification, going into five points just got you ~shot~. It was a shithole. So how to you improve the shithole, without also making it appealing to folks that happen to be pretty well off? (Honest question there). That’s the problem with anti-gentrification; if…
