Just one? That’s difficult. Top two both hinge from the same time frame: when the economy crashed back in the late 00's. A dealership had a Pantera they couldn’t sell ($50k). Nobody would buy it. While I was haggling with the bank to get approved for $45k so I could make an offer on it, someone offered them $30k and…

Wow. It’s almost like semi-autonomous mass-transit is the solution we need to expand and push, instead of filling roads with self-driving cars.

So we’re going from naming it after a people who were subjected to horrific treatment by the US Government/people, and to the name of a literal slaver? Why? Why would that make sense?

I love this car, btw. I wanted to buy it many years ago, when I first saw it posted. They wouldn’t negotiate on the price over the phone, and I didn’t want to drive all the way to see it (2-3hrs at the time, depending on traffic) when it didn’t seem like they would budge.

No dice, and this is why: this car has been for sale for YEARS. This same dealership has had it for ages, which means you’re likely now looking at 5+ years of deferred maintenance on a Maserati. This car would pop up for a long time at $15-20k. They’ve slowly lowered the price over the years, but it’s a $5-7k car that…

Yup. A girl that lived down the street from me wrecked 3 brand-new Audi’s (s3, s8, a8) driving drunk in high school. Her dad got her a v6 SUV after that, and she never wrecked it, but it endured a lot of minor hit-and-runs.

Oh, and she never had a single one of those accidents go on her record, to my knowledge. They…

Solid anecdotal evidence. You should do some research into the matter. You’ll find that ALL of the gig economy companies prioritize and de-prioritize people based on how much they work. This means that the best way to get the more profitable fares? Is to constantly be working.

The gig economy was NEVER about…

I feel like the answer is somewhere between your take and Mush’s. Sadly, since we can’t talk to them, we’ll never know.

If you walk up to them, and ask them about the product and they can answer questions? Not booth babes. If they get you into the booth, and then direct you to someone who has knowledge/sales…

Am I the only one who feels like, if we started federally requiring reliability criteria for vehicles (5 years/100k should be a mandatory minimum for warranty, at this point), this might change direction? I can’t bring myself to buy a 1.2L I4 with 9 turbos that produces 300hp by relying upon 400 atmospheres worth of…

Not a fan of street racing, since it’s caused a lot of problems (and someone died at one last year, if I recall correctly), but that cop could’ve easily put his car in gear, started rolling forward, and people would’ve been forced to move as it moved. What does he do? He FLOORS it. Look at the way he launches forward.…

The coal-rollers I’ve seen have been split pretty 50/50 Dodge’s and 7.3l Fords. In my neck of the woods, it’s mostly Subaru’s or Honda’s with 4" exhausts driving like idiots, but there’s a few Mustang/Challenger douche-bros around.

I’m a Jeep owner, and not really offended, but I feel like you’re attributing a LOT to…

At $4-5k, this car would be fun. At $8.3k, it’s overpriced. That’s starting to get into the price range of what you’ll pay for an early 70's car with chrome bumpers, which are vastly better looking. 

Except, they’re usually giving to charities they own/founded, which are used as lobbying groups to push policies/ideals they want. It’s not charity. It’s political fodder.

They’re like braces, but vertical.

Exactly where my mind went.

Okay, but, hear me out: put a black wrap on this, and a giant Cobra logo on it. No, not the car company. The villain from G.I. Joe.

You could’ve ended with “and put it to the test,” and yet you didn’t?

If there’s no V8, it doesn’t deserve a ‘63' on the badge.

Actually, I think small interesting cars are dying off because of the deal the EPA made with GM/Chrysler/Ford to allow SUV’s and trucks have a discount on fuel requirements. That means making a sedan into a crossover gets them a discount in how fuel efficient the vehicle has to be, and saves them from having to invest…

If you decide you need a change of pace, I would strongly recommend going vintage. My ‘66 F100 is the slowest, though not least efficient, vehicle I own, but with an 8ft bed and a stock suspension that’s lower than newer trucks (even 90's), it’s SUPER easy to load and unload things out of.
