I guess I’m trying to figure out what this piece of paper does. Is it for the selling of the vehicle and the discount or is it saying that the purchaser can’t file suit against the manufacturer (as in the case of a “lemon law” case)?

We qualify for F&F under FCA and have purchased two vehicles under such title, but I…

It’s a damn good thing this is in California. If it were closer, I’d buy it! As a result, I’d likely have a PO’ed wife. She says I don’t need anymore bikes...

4th Gear: The EPA May Need To Borrow Your Car

I’ve always had a thing for the reliability and simplicity of a Honda (particularly the Accord and Fit) and have subsequently owned several. My gripe is that they don’t have a soul even though they drive well. Mazda has been a close second but I had reliability issues with a Mazda 3.

I wonder if Saab would’ve had the highest average credit score for buyers. You know, since educated people (architects) seemed to buy those. And they were relatively safe.

I think people are taking too much time being woo’d instead of thinking about how the hell you are going to get in the front, since you’ll likely be the driver. Last time I checked, they were still “conventional” doors, so getting into the front seats would be impossible in this parking situation.

Meh - that’s why I have insurance.

$10 says the author of said note formerly owned a VW.

Which brings me to my next point - talk bottom line dollar numbers, not payments. You should already know what bottom dollar you should be looking at for your range of payments.

If you tell a dealer you are looking in the $300-400 range, bet your ass they are going to come back at a $400 and change payment. If you…

I’m laughing at the fact that everyone is saying that it looks like XYZ but no one is giddy about the “240HP” figure stated. Who gives a shit if it still looks like a Miata on the inside?

Enterprise...

And I loved getting a manual transmission rental - although it was an Opel Sportwagen (diesel) so it was like driving a damn oldschool Cadillac when visiting some of the smaller villages (still manageable, though)!

It’s like being in Europe and being expected to pay to use the restroom! (Of course, you figure out there are plenty of places to do your business free).

Based on this, it appears that VW’s centralized structure was very much at play through the dieselgate development. VW USA might not even have been fully cognizant of what was going on back in Deutschland with their mysterious test cars.

Funny thing - they must have started caring. In 2014 when my wife and I took a trip over to Germany, they insisted on seeing an IDP at the rental counter (in addition to my state-issued DL). Fortunately, I didn’t need it the rest of the trip (or any other form of ID).

I always thought German interiors smelled more like BandAid’s

Yep, way back in the day. It was next to the Saturn dealership north of Genesee Valley Mall. Apparently it’s a Hyundai dealership now..

Reminds me somewhat of this:

The one I Flint finally shut down?

Yep - Tata has changed that but the old RR’s (lack of) reliability put a stigma with them. Same applies to Jaguar.

I am surprised (and almost appalled) that they found 220 chumps to spend that kind of money on that bike!
