The old E=1/2mv^2 equation is unshakeable. The only way to reduce energy is to reduce mass or speed.

I’m going NP because this thing is super clean and the mileage works out to about 5,700 miles a year — Cleary this thing had a pretty gentle life. I have no idea what KBB and other guides suggest as a price, but here I think condition trumps a lot of the other factors. If you want this, you want this.

The other day I was thinking, I bet Jalopnik would love to find a transportation angle on this story.

Paying “less than original price for used, but also more than new price” just tells me there are some weapons-grade idiots out there, honestly.

How much stock you holdin’?

I don’t think you understand how depreciation works. It’s a nice effort, I’ll give you that. But when a vehicle was originally sold for an amount and then sells again for a different amount, those are the numbers that matter. Do you think you’ll be able to sell that brand new $80k CT for $75k next year? Lol go ahead…

Asking price does not equal selling price. And a $15,000 discount for 50 miles isn't what I'd call "holding value" either.

That’s crazy that police were able to clear the bridge within 4 minutes.  Probably saved hundreds of lives in doing so.

I know how much we love Panthers, but they long ago reached the point in their arc where they’re mostly cheap, simple, spacious transportation. If you want to keep yours in showroom condition, good on ya, but don’t expect to recover your investment in maintenance.

Whoa, I didn’t realize these things had a turbo!

(there are 10+ linked articles on this page and I am not going to hunt through each one to find out).

Good points. I probably misread the article to be implying the system was only on two routes, and both were borked, rather than “two of X total routes were borked."

And just like that, you’ve summoned him!

This is by no means an endorsement of using AIs to write tickets (I find the idea laughable and stupid in 2024) but...

Safer than the F-35, and cheaper!

Where I live, there isn’t enough charging infrastructure for me to justify a pure EV. I will have to compromise for now.

Hybrids are awesome. I just bought a CX-70 Turbo S (thank you $5k worth of incentives and 1.9% APR) to replace my CX-50 Turbo, and I’m incredibly impressed with the e-Skyactiv G mild hybrid system. It’s not a full hybrid or PHEV, BUT I get about 24-26 combined, 30 highway. And when towing my enclosed 6x12 single axle…

I really like my new PHEV. A cheap lease and gasoline free motoring for short trips to town. It takes a little planning to keep the charge up but it’s not too difficult.
