Needs clarification. Is this ‘high deductible’ you talk about a per-instance charge (i.e., have to pay the full deductible for every doctor office visit), or is it actually the annual out-of-pocket fee? I have an annual out of pocket cost of around 3500 bux or so. And when the doc/hospital/medical service provider…

Apologize? For what? They say they took the name from a local geographic feature named “Kickapoo River Valley” ... they could simply have renamed (or originally named) themselves “Kickapoo River Coffee” and avoid this pathetic bout (and clear marketing stunt) of White Guilt hand-wringing. Let’s face it ... every last…

GM has been squandering many of their historically valuable nameplates for decades now. Tempest. Malibu (current gen ok, but there was a long spell of crap in between). Impala. Every single Cadillac nameplate flushed down the toilet. 

I imagine you’d have to be much more attentive, no?

One of the things I noticed is the relationship between wheels and the fenders. In the ad image up top, the wheels appear to be tucked up fairly high in the wheel wells (or alternatively, the body is sitting rather low on the wheels), and in your pic here there is clear air between the top of the tires and the rim of…

Yeah, it’s absolutely a big car no doubt about it, and still a beautiful design, although brown with tan vinyl roof is not the best iteration (again, my neighbor’s car).

The image is misleading ... like many car ads of the era, the artists who drew these images (these are drawings/paintings, not photos) always make the subjects appear longer, leaner, handsomer than how they looked in real life. My neighbor has a Toronado of that era (possibly same model year, although it’s brown …

The biggest problem with this issue is the notion of “right priced” ... if was actually right-priced it would have sold already. The right price is the one that sells, not the one someone concocts to suit their desires. This is the “I know what I’ve got” situation all over again. “No low ballers” “I know what it’s…

You realize you’re commenting on a 2 year old thread? But anyways ... no, I was serious.

Also also ... the old tilt-n-telescope steering columns from GM were da boss. I have no idea if they still have such a feature as I haven’t driven a GM car in over 15 years, but I remember the “luxury” features my 77 Olds Cutlass Supreme had and it was glorious. Every car I’ve had in the past 15 years (all Japanese…

I’ve had cars in 2 states, North Carolina and California. Granted, NC was 30 years ago so the process may have changed. But there were plates on the car when I bought it (it was used). And in Cali, unless the plates are custom and the seller wants to keep them, the plates go with the car. Used cars keep their plates,…

The only things that are keeping more people (Americans) from adopting electric vehicles are

WTF ... Battery packs are NOT engines ffs. Even car enthusiasts generally don’t care much about gas tanks or gasoline. Share all the same batteries, but the actual packs will be very different across the industry (different sizes and shapes to fit differently sized and shaped vehicles, as well as to provide different…

battling voter disenfranchisement

I’m tired of “tip creep” as has been mentioned by others, and I’m also tired of the whole “you owe me” vibe coming off the services crowd that haunts this section.

wait in one line when they first come in, and then get directed to the correct line

The second they were given a slip of paper with an assignment they reverted to being students.

The profile is fairly sleek, the back end looks somewhat interesting, the interior is very interesting, but the face ... it looks like a slightly modified Honda Accord or Civic. Uuuuugly.

It’s called “humor” ... just like when Jeremy Clarkson says a car has [number] “torques” ... it’s a silly and technically incorrect idiom used simply for the sake of being silly while still imparting valid information. Lighten up Francis.
