Good question! I did the math on my wife’s Kia hybrid, and even it is $90.45 per HP.

I really want to find out you paid $8.46 for an old Honda Trail 70
My entire car cost $8.23 per HP
I’m in a somewhat similar boat with a wildly unsimilar car. I bought a 2007 Magnum R/T with whole bucket full of red flags....for $2800 which is very much a “discounted for red flags” price. At least your odometer tells you anything, wrong or not. Mine literally says “done”.
I put a sleeping bag in the back of my Magnum. That makes it a sleeper.
Am I doing this right?
Hands up, who consults JD Power when car shopping?
Anybody?
Bueller?
You make some great points. I’m convinced.
Most excellent! Yeah, you’re helpful and encouraging on both sites. Thanks for being part of what makes the internet awesome. :D
Great, you tell me now. I just picked up an ‘07 Magnum R/T (1 of 2,600!).
It needs a new front clip. I asked on a forum what my aftermarket options were, and heard “Not much, it’s not like the par was made for very long”.
So it begins.
(go ahead, laugh at a Magnum being “rare”. I paid $8.23 per horsepower and that’s a…
I’m not really seeing any fails here. I just read a writeup on an incident where ATC played the “a bunch of other plans flew through it just fine” card, and a lot of people died when a microburst whipped up.
Pilot saw something that made him uneasy, and didn’t fly through it. ATC kept him from hitting anybody.…
I have some blankets in the back of my Magnum. That makes it a sleeper, right?
I accompanied my GF (now wife) car shopping. At nearly every dealer, at some point the salesman (never saw any women selling) reoriented his posture and eye contact and started talking directly to me, even though I did none of the talking.
I went to a “used luxury and exotics” place once, and asked to look at anything they had in a manual, under $20k, 300HP or over. They photocopied my license, handed me the keys to a Merc, pointed out a road heading off to the hills that had plenty of tight curves with a quick freeway on/off. Does a salesperson need to…

The craigslist ad writes itself.
Right? My mom drove a lemon yellow B210. The “trash chute” was under the plywood in the passenger side footwell. You just lifted it up, and threw your rubbish out the rust hole directly onto the highway under you.

I had a friend who owned a Reliant K. He hated it, but I was kinda fascinated with its charms. I wouldn’t care enough to send a vitriolic email about it, but if you said “Nobody could possibly enjoy this car” I would snicker in the back of the room and raise my hand.
If I’m being honest though, I was charmed in part…
Are you dead?
I don’t think I’ve read a single Tesla crash story that didn’t also list stats highlighting the scarcity of incidents.
