How long do Ferrari engines typically last? Maybe the next owner will find out. I’m guessing the 22k motor was a fluke.

I see your Lambo and raise you America

Exhaust flaps? More like bitch flaps!

Remember when like 12 years ago dubs and spinners were only a huge aftermarket deal? Now we have dubs on stock cars. When will Ford start putting chromed-out spinners on the Edge?

Wait, these reduce drag?

THANK YOU!

Yes, the person who can afford a new $75k S6 but instead opts for this has a repair bill budget surplus of about $55k. Seems like enough to tide a person over for a couple of years, at least.

In B4 the “because repair bills” comments. At this price, you can afford repair bills (of which yes, there will probably be plenty)!

It’s amazing technology, but I’ll trust it when it’s able to follow lanes better than a drunk person.

Seriously. I saved some side money for a few months and paid $4500 for an awesome Miata. Insurance is $22 per month, full coverage. Parts and maintenance are cheap because I do mostly everything myself. Gas is cheap because weekend 4 cylinder. And the wife loves how "cute" it is and says she loves that it's made me so…

i don't think he's ever driven a Miata, period.

Perpetuating the same old one-liner those who've never driven one have been spouting off for 25 years.

I even called my co-workers out on it, and the weird thing was that they agreed that it sounded dumb and incorrect, and then went on to accuse me of having a hearing problem. So the phenomenon is that the people who use this colloquialism are in denial about using it. I'm in DC; try it out in Utah and see if you get…

Do you think the NC has potential to become a classic like the NA, and as many would argue, the NB? Or does it have a greater likelihood to be looked back on as "the awkward years?"

I happen to think all of this is a shame, because the PT Cruiser was once the hottest vehicle on the market. Back in 2001, when it first came out, the PT Cruiser was all the rage, and people were paying above the sticker price just to get an early model. People loved them. People wanted them. People thought they were…
