A strong stock market is not the same as a strong economy.

The main issue is the price. If they were asking for a couple grand, it’d be a hilarious rally cross car or winter hoonmobile, and you just drive it until something blows up.

Couldn’t Really (be of) Value at that price. Maybe if it had a K20 and about 1/2 the miles...

What?  This is as stock as possible for this particular model.  

Favorite quote from the article that didn’t make it into this one: “We’ve gone through a 70-year period of adding and widening but this is a failing strategy. It’s like solving the obesity problem by loosening your belt.”

Get a Fit.  Just don’t take it to Shilling’s dealer for an inspection.

People ruin everything. Something new pops up, is really awesome, gains traction with the casuals, still really fun, then eventually gets overwhelmed by the general population and jackasses start showing up and acting out. Goes for bars, music festivals, car shows, racing series, pickup sports, you name it.

600$ for the wheels to be re-finished?

That Fit looks ridiculous.
The optimal wheel size depends on the size and shape of the vehicle. I can’t imagine 15s on my SUV or minivan. 

His car needed not one of those items to pass an inspection. If he knew anything about cars, or did 5 mins of googling he could’ve saved himself $750.

I find it odd that there seems to be quite a large number of Jalops that are not comfortable with a wrench in their hands, which is weird for a car enthusiast site.

Exactly. My first question was: Do you still have the OEM hood so that I can immediately remove and FleaBay/Craigslist that VatoZone monstrosity. But perhaps I doth protest too much given that the other, stock vents on this car are also fake. What’s one more?

I like the SS, I really do. Its blandness was actually its…

Prices on these are nutty, but he wants you to pay for the mods, and that’s not how mods work. Stock offerings with comparable miles are significantly cheaper. Stock offerings at comparable prices have significantly fewer miles.

“No rush to sell!!”

Trucks have pretty big blind spots in front of them.

You are correct, but this isn’t apples to apples. It’s “Parking on the wrong side of the street” and it is actually against the law most places and will land you a ticket.

Speed does NOT kill. This is a myth promulgated by the insurance industry to line their own pockets and the mommies because they know everything.

Police did not identify speed as a primary factor in any of the 14 fatal crashes on 75 mph freeways in 2018

Alero was n-body Malibu. I had one. It ate brakes like crazy but otherwise was a very good V6 car. Lots of them still on the road. Same with its cousin the “Wisconsin Cadillac” Grand Am. 

It was necessary 100 years ago.
