I live in Portland, Oregon, but am frequently in Washington. I always buy my gas in Oregon, where an attendant pumps the gas. One advantage I’ve noticed is that in Oregon, drivers are not doing stupid things like driving up to pumps in the opposite direction to all other drivers, which seems to happen in WA all too…

I think that if your plan is to change cars every 3 - 5 years, then making sure you don’t take that depreciation hit might be important, but as Tom says, you have to look at all the options. On the other hand, if you plan to hold your car for 10+ years, then depreciation doesn’t matter as much because a 10 or 12 year…

DO NOT buy a right hand drive Mitsubishi in North America as your daily driver unless you have a death wish. Unless you’re a mail carrier/street sweeper/trash collector, driving on the right in a RHD (or on the left in a LHD) is a pain in the butt. I’m licensed to drive in both the USA and Australia (also had a NZ…

Combat parking (ass in) is the way to go.

An EV charging network doesn’t improve greenhouse gas emissions if the electricity supplied is generated by coal, oil or natural gas. Now, if the electricity is generated by solar, wind or nuclear, that’s a different story.

My biggest problem with the reports that CR produces is that they are based on responses from CR subscribers, who self select to complete the survey when CR e-mails them a link. These reports do not provide analyses of randomized studies.

We have a Faustian bargain with the police and nobody knows (including me) how we get out of it.

Can you explain why advertising cars for lease that are not actually available doesn’t meet the definition of an illegal bait and switch? Advertising a product that the consumer can’t actually buy is usually illegal.

Driving in a manner [insert bigoted epithet here].

Have you seen or smelled the Gowanus Canal? You would not want to touch, let alone eat, anything that came out of that cesspool. I’ll be interested to see if they pull any bodies out of that stretch of water.

Italian car = hole in the road into which one shovels money. No thanks.

My problem with the Austin Healey Sprite (aside from the British Car = Hole in the Road into which one shovels money) is the only one I ever drove had a really shitty gear selector that took far too much effort to go from 1st to reverse. Hated it, never drove another one again.

There are SIX branches of the United States Military:

Toyota Corolla/Nissan Versa/Mazda 3/Hyundai Accent/Honda Civic/Kia Rio. Island gas prices get old really quickly. Japanese and Korean small four cylinder cars are plentiful, reliable and do not cost an arm and a leg in maintenance. All these cars are available in manual transmissions. If you really feel like it there…

The Trump fleet is really an exercise in vanity. Berkshire Hathaway used to have a corporate jet to fly Warren Buffet around, but then it bought NetJets so they no longer need to keep an aircraft exclusively for ferrying Mr. Buffet to and from Omaha. Mr. Buffet doesn’t need a jet with his name on it to plump up his…

Driving a right hand drive vehicle on the right hand side of the road sucks as much as driving a left hand drive vehicle on the left hand side of the road. I would steer clear of any RHD vehicle in North America.

At least there wasn’t a stiff in it. Lots of stories of cars in water with dead drivers/passengers.

My heart bleeds for the uber wealthy.

Every truck needs to look pissed because a significant proportion of truck buyers never use their vehicles to carry payload in the truck bed, they buy the truck to compensate for shortcomings below their waistline - i.e. big car/truck, small d--k.
