If I’m going to be “that asshole in the red BMW convertible, I’d better have gotten it for a bargain. This isn’t one.

ND. I know these have gone up, but this is the least desirable configuration and is absolutely not worth $23k. Hell, BaT is still routinely closing out the more desirable specs in the $12-18k range in decent condition.

In the past, it was the future...

What’s really cool is it has seating for 15...

I once had a neighbour who was an abusive alcoholic loser. He had a lot of character.

I’ve know a couple Alfa owners. All had tons of stories about how wonderful they are to drive.

We want people to eat healthy, but first we need them to eat food at all, and candy is not nutrition, it is not food, it’s just sugar: worthless instant energy that does nothing for their real needs. It has no protein, no long-chain carbohydrates, no dietary fiber, no vitamins or minerals, it doesn’t even have bulk to…

Given the budget precludes a minivan, but it sounds like they wish they could have one, surprised the Mazda 5 didn’t get a mention.

A Prius V, obviously

I have a small package delivery business

The single best donation you can make, aside from your time, is money. Food banks can stretch your dollars much further than you can, and they will be able to purchase exactly what they need.

I had one for a short time that I bought off of my coworker that purchased it new. 90% of the issues were due to rust from 17 western-NY winters, but the thing still ran like a champ 250k miles later. Was going to use it for car-camping, but covid hit and I bought a cargo van.

I guess NP with today’s prices - BUT - I protest, clean the damn car. Disgusting. Did he just move a load of sheetrock? Bags of cement? When was the last timing belt?

I wasn’t too sure about the styling and had a hard time to see one live in Toronto. I found a used 2016, and test drove it and bought it. It looks way better in real life than in the pictures. The SC coupes are not very attractive at all, but the GS-F in real life looks really great. The other upside is that it is…

Yeah about using the pods in a washing machine I would avoid that. New machines are designed to use HE detergent which is why they don’t produce a lot of suds like the old ones did. Some of those pods will producue a ton of suds which will mess with the pressure sensor in your machine.

Those are low rolling resistance tires. They go easy on the 44hp.

Tablets have bleach and enzymes in addition to the surfactants of dish soap.

This belongs over on Jezebel.

You come up with a few valid points against the Grenadier, but the design being “derivative”? That is the whole point of the design. I’m not sure if derivative is the correct word, because it’s just a slightly different Defender. I can’t even tell if they’re making it slightly different to avoid a lawsuit or if they…

Not if you do it right. And that’s the point, feeling for the friction point, and letting it slip until the car just begins to roll, and then releasing the pedal just a hair more to put more pressure on the clutch, etc.
