Do what I did. Get a Jeep Gladiator. 4x4 Pickup truck convertible. Guzzles gas, sure but pretty practical. Should be able to easily find a low mileage one under 50k. I got ‘22 a few months ago with 15k miles for just under 40k. Given Stellantis’ current issues, you might be able to do even better.

I think it was rat fur.

I had a brown temp that looked just like the one in the picture. My first car.

Nissan was so obviously trying to copy Ford. They messed it up.

I have a 22 Jeep Gladiator on 35s that I purchased pre-owned a few months ago. Fuel economy is horrendous and it isn’t a smooth ride.

Like others have stated, he's just answering your question. For the majority of Americans (including my self and presumably him), that price tag is cost preventative for us making the switch. The economics don’t work out in the Lucid’s favor.

There is no shame in having an experienced person (maybe a parent) accompany you to the dealership when buying your first car. My dad came with me for first dealership experience, and I'm glad he did. I was able to get a couple grand off on a used low mileage car. This was also nearly 20 years ago when cars were still…

There is even a TFL video on YouTube discussing this very story. I suggest it for people who can't/don't read.

I just have a problem paying more than $ 10k for a car with 100+ k miles. And I actually like these.

I think you mean Expedition.

You say what the rest of us are sarcastically thinking.

Don’t those same unreliable people engineer, design, and build cars.....

So a sample study of.... 1.

Something like that Lincoln Continental pictured at the top of the article. The sedan version would also be good too.

But he isn't wrong...

Let’s not kid ourselves. The people who complain that car doesn’t have a manual, it doesn’t have a v8, the headlights look like fried eggs, etc. are not buying for those reasons. The fact is even if they build a turbo v8, manual transmission, brown Supra wagon that people “really” wanted, they wouldn’t sell them. The…

You want to know why I don’t buy a Supra? It’s the same reason I still drive an 11 year Fusion with 130k+ miles. Every practical car that I can comfortably haul my family in is too damn expensive. Can’t drive my wife and kids and all their stuff in a sports car. Before I can even think of buying a sport car, the…

Old enough to know better. In his early 20s. That was probably 15-20 years ago. Hopefully he has since outgrown this behavior.

Nope, parking further away isn’t the answer either. I had a “friend” years ago that would play parking lot bowling with shopping carts trying to hit the cars of people who parked far away. I was livid when I saw him do this.

I enjoy driving a stick. I currently own a stick. Unfortunately, I’ m not sure how useful it will be to teach my children (currently 8 and 3) how to drive a manual when the time comes. They are rather quickly going away as electrification spreads and automakers don’t want to spend extra development dollars on an…
