I bet it works (not) as good as those lawn mowers that you hook a hose to to clean the deck. Only works well if it’s used every time and you don’t have a lot of accumulated clippings in the deck.

The only vehicle I could ever see getting a 84month loan for is a new Land Cruiser. They are reliable and hold their value like crazy. Otherwise, 72 month loans for Toyota’s and some Honda’s are palatable. Anything else, stick to 60 months or less.

Yup. Carfax generally doesn’t mean jack but they can tell a little bit of a story. There have been several “clean” Carfax vehicles I’ve seen in person and it’s very obvious that they were involved in a wreck. Even some of the “decent” hidden damage vehicles had uneven body/trim alignment. If they don’t file a police…

Design or material flaw (I smell a recall) or NCAP testing personnel error.

So it’s the new rhombus button that BMW used to have? Except that it’s for the drivetrain rather than a menu button?

Too bad Saab isn’t around anymore. Those were default architect vehicles...

True. But the torque and power curves are completely different. Owned a 4th gen V8 and 5th gen. the 5th gen feels like a dog and has to be revved to get the power and torque out of it.

1. Not sell my 15 Silverado that I’m perfectly content with to get something more shiny.

1st gear -> 4th gear.

You know what really grinds my gears? When they take the headrests out of the seat “to get a better shot”.

Any time I read “custom” and “Audi” together, I instantly think CP, no matter the price. 

Best way to do a “swap” where both parties still have loans on each vehicle? Go down together to your local credit union and get preapproved for each other’s loan.

This. If they could keep the sexiness of the current sedan and transform into a wagon, I’d buy one tomorrow. But if they do what they did to the Crosstour, there’s no hope. Hopefully with other OEM’s coming out with wagons, they’ll release something...

Ahem. I present to you the Mitsubishi Mirage. I would say they this surpasses the Chevy Aveo for the worst vehicle this millennium.

When you're 1,000 ft or more away, those low profile LED light bars look like roof racks...

This. I replaced the runflats on my E90 with DSW’s and pieced together an OEM jack, wheel chock and lug wrench along with a patch/ repair kit and air compressor. Didbt takeup much space and was at least a Plan B.

A flathead enginne is still somewhat common. Where you ask? Lawnmower engines. Many lawnmower engines that aren’t OHC engines are flathead design.

Hey now, we weren’t talking about that :) But to answer your question, it’s 50/50.

I always get confused on that tag line anyways since it seems Ford and RAM have seemed to make similar claims. I guess its all of looking at the fine print when they say it on the commercial (sometimes goes by “registrations”).

Is anyone really surprised by this list? I’m not. That’s why people buy these cars. They certainly don’t buy them for excitement or performance.
