After the guy was duct-taped to the seat, I’d like to think that a line of passengers went Airplane! on his face. One can dream...

I really don’t know what Truck Nutz (lol) are.

It’s a poser car. You play at owning a hot rod. ND

these are the ones I had, no idea who did the art

I see Maximas all the time. You should look harder.

Well, Fiat pretty much is done here. One car does not a “lineup” make

Their “its so you” advertisements are reason enough for me to NEVER buy a Buick

I’m OK with driving a van (empty nester)...we use our Grand Caravan as our road trip vehicle, and a smaller version of that would be acceptable. But not having Stow and Go is a showstopper for us, we tend to use the van with less than the full complement of seats in the upright position. Since our other vehicle IS a…

Yeah, that mileage is impossible. Does it have one of those odometers that rolls over at 100K, since no cars ever went that far back in the day? 

With most vehicles bought off the lot, that’s true of everything. We wanted our truck in any color but silver, but that was the only color with the other features we wanted. So that’s what we bought, and now the dealer will think that silver sells well, so they’ll order more.

How many trucks still come with a manual?

Disks and double reservoir master cylinders, if not already thusly equipped

The automakers were also telling people to “brace themselves” for impending crashes. https://books.google.com/books?id=7SISAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA290&lpg=PA290&dq=automakers+tell+passengers+brace+themseves+crash&source=bl&ots=7SY0RG4ie6&sig=ACfU3U2T2tADds5nMBSDZntTHG1m2S_Fhw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiP9JieppLyAhVYa80KHWX9D6MQ6AF6B…

Also, if you haven’t already, check out Car and Driver’s article about maintenance costs on their long term M3. The bottom line is that they weren’t really cheaper than for other vehicles in their fleet. The M3 has an interesting service requirement for vehicles being operated in “salt states” (I wonder if other EVs…

and about 40% of the population, apparently. 

Well, China is a bit more dictator-y than the US is. I can imagine the blowback if Biden’s administration made some high percentage of EV sales mandatory. 

Former co-worker’s Saturn (don’t know what year) has 326000 miles on it, in Michigan, so I might be tempted if I needed a car.

I worked at Sears in the auto center many years back...we had our share of screwups but I have to say that our managers didn’t argue with people when it was clear it was on us. They paid without hesitation.

Where do these folks live? If they’re anywhere near Michigan, I say come for the Dream Cruise next month and see just about every classic car ever. Many of them will have For Sale signs, and maybe you’ll see something that speaks to you. If you have to ask what to buy, you’re not there yet. 

She’s racist and misogynist. Fun combo!
