Ugh. Not one, but TWO cars I’ve coveted and tried to buy repeatedly making the list, but I was too cheap to spend an extra grand. And will now never come close to prices I want to pay, save being rusted out completely or victims of the cracked subframe. Oh well, guess I better start finding some 80's vehicle to swoon

The only appropriate license plate for this thing would be “MAGA EH.

Similar experience with a co-worker. He had a perfectly serviceable upgraded trim Passport (the old boxy design) and was complaining it needed tires and some routine maintenance, so he wanted to buy a new car. Bought a new pathfinder, rolled negative equity in the deal from the passport, hated the pathfinder

I expect to be ripped off, but those doing the ripping need to be smart enough to realize that you rip every person off the same way, every day.

Truth. I have a ‘15 and I plan on keeping it for a long time, but the tech is a bit dated. Have to admit the new ones with the slight exterior redesign with redesigned interior and supposedly updated tech inside has piqued my curiosity a bit.

People just don’t seem to get it. A brake job is way cheaper than a car payment for the next six years and since it’s apparent they’re probably underwater because of negative equity from the last bad choice they made or their credit was so bad that they’re pushing usury rates of interest, it might be a good idea to

“Horror” is too broad a swath.

At least it’s not the 240D.  That thing would run forever because it took forever to get up to 60 mph.  

WIth Jon Voight’s Chrysler LeBaron, some women might find you sponge-worthy. 

It’s not purple. Or Eggplant. It’s Malaga 2.0.

The Dirk Pitt lifestyle.  Only with beaters instead of million dollar classics. 

Well, when they do their typical trade in in two and you happen to be in the market, you can take a car off their hands for more than they’ll get in trade and less than the vehicle would cost you (assuming, of course, they’re not continually rolling negative equity into the new deal).

Why does this vehicle exist?

Rowing your own gears is great and should be a requirement of every person to get a driver’s license (and will be for my offspring), but in today’s day and age, you’re so limited by cars that don’t have manuals, you’re really cutting off your nose to spite your face looking for a manual. And most modern automatics

I’ve been tempted to pick up the FFR 818 as a project, but the more I watch videos on completed builds, the more I realize that buying something completed from a major manufacturer is a far better option and that those who do the builds (god bless them) will never recoup the time and money they sink into the

I don’t think the Hutch Touch will fix this CP. 

While you have to be mindful of getting bumped during beverage service, the aisle affords room for your upper body. My shoulders are wider than my waist, so having that “breathing room” is valuable.  And yes, while you may not be able to stick your leg out into the aisle for long, you can certainly stick it out there

She’s a woman, so of course she’s the one he picks on from the big 3. Some female really needs to kick him in the nuts literally or figuratively.

The V70 had a manual, but I’m not sure if it was just in the V70R or was available on the regular trims. 

There’s a bit on this car in an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage. The family framed the letter from McQueen, but the guy who owned it wanted to keep the car. His son is the one selling it now and, it it went for $800k, can’t blame him.
