I heard when he saw authorities approaching his ship he keeled over.

Regarding AWD: Most crossovers and many SUVs are FWD-based vehicles and as the commenter points out, you’re driving around in FWD almost all of the time. So I have to ask, why spend the extra money and give up a measure of fuel economy for AWD? I live in the upper midwest snow belt and daily a FWD sedan and have…

“. . . which confirmed to Ford that looking like you go off-roading is more popular than ever.” — Fixed it for ya.

And if you look closely at the shot of the underside you’ll see the famous torsion bar front suspension. These maybe didn’t handle well by today’s standards but were better than any of its peers.

My in-laws had a ‘77 New Yorker with leather upholstery. (Whether Chrysler called it “Corinthian” or not it was the same material as the Cordoba.) You know how European cars with high quality leather upholstery smell like a shoe store inside? Um, yeah, the leather in that New Yorker was so heavily perfumed the car…

You either “get” cars like this or you don’t. I was around back when these were new and I thought they were absurd. I still think they’re absurd but they represent an era of American automotive history that ought to be preserved. As long as it needs nothing more than the listed issues it’s well worth the price.

“. . . electric cars have been getting remarkably affordable.”

Reading anything before that second cup?? Don’t be a hero, man.

Rob mentioned it’s a DIY cup holder in the story above.

Easy Nice Price provided you also budget for a generous after-market warranty and live within a comfortable distance from a dealer or reliable auto repair shop. I’ve driven one and these are incredibly competent sports sedans, among the most engaging you’ll ever drive. A high maintenance mistress to be sure, but worth…

From the EV reviews I’ve seen the two main issues with the current state of public charging are availability and reliability. Building fancy comfort stations is meaningless if the chargers don’t work. Focus resources on filling in areas underserved by charging stations while working at making them operate more…

Raph has the correct answer. In the current market look at the cars that aren’t at the tops of shopping lists, that aren’t crossovers or SUVs. I just checked listings for AWD Chrysler 300s in this area and it wouldn’t be hard to find one that hit this buyer’s parameters. Plus, the AWD versions were all V6s so it’s…

OTOH, Russia seems to be focusing on civilian targets – apartment buildings, schools, hospitals. I suspect they may have a strategic interest in sparing production facilities they may want or need later.

And they sat idling in line at a Starbucks to buy an $8 cup of coffee on the way to buy gas at Costco to save those $6.

“Employee owned” in this case means employees receive a portion of their pay in company stock. Members of the Woodman family still control the company and have accumulated a respectable amount of wealth. It isn’t a co-op.

Meh. Just can’t work up any feelings about this one either way. Looks to be well preserved for its age but the styling from this era was so dull who cares. At the end of the day it’s a 33 year old Japanese car with no particular provenance and nearly a quarter million miles on the clock. Is that worth $12,000? Flip a…

This. I had a ‘69 Karmann Ghia back in my college days and it was common knowledge back then that you keep a copy in your car at all times. I did and it came in handy more than once.

As a consequence people are adjusting their driving habits and driving more efficiently to save fuel, right? /s
