I don’t think this is what he meant when he planned to get shit faced that night....

A drunk driver covered in dog poop was arrested Saturday night in Pierce County, Washington.

Right, because entry-level commuter cars need to look like Ferraris to be entry-level commuter cars.

That’s impossible, since Ford and Mazda no longer work together. Unless Ford’s chinese partner, Jiangling/JMC, “borrowed” the Mazda blueprints for Ford.

Ha, that’s an advertising/production freak-out: I took a couple spyshots of a Jeep on Mulholland like this — Agency folks and clients holding up hands saying “NO! You can’t take photos of our secret car! Stop him!”

They thought they could gentrify Long Beach, but cars are still burning in the streets.

It punted a Mustang into a crowd of tires and then spontaneously combusted. The most meme worthy drift run of this young year.

Agree.

I don’t know that the advice regarding a small-motored car is sexist, per se. The book was written in the age of hand-cranked starters, and starting a large car engine took serious muscle. Starting a 190cc lawn mower with a pull-cord is somewhat difficult for my wife; cranking a 700cc engine would be downright hard.

US version built in China? Hard pass. I have a 2009 built in Michigan. Strangely enough it was manufactured on my birthday and has been a great, reliable little car for a DD.

Sounds like, what you’re saying is they’re starting to lose Focus.

If I had not read the article I’d have looked at that photo and said “oh look, they’re facelifting the Mazda 3 hatchback.”

The northeast doesn’t get to the same level of “so cold if I try wrenching I may die” and it’s at least my impression that winter is one of four seasons rather than one of 2.5.

Oh these commercials are horrid, it seems like they bought all the air time in NH. Their president ones are even better. One dime down, you make $400/week, and we’ll give you (up to) $30k in credit! That doesnt sound like a questionable loan at all...

My guess is the $49 is to establish a savings account at some nearby credit union that’ll finance the car.

That Lexus is the worst suggestion I’ve seen so far on one of these articles. Its like asking my wife to bring home tacos for dinner and instead she brings me a live goat and a bowling ball.

Sure, not sure what being coastal has to do with anything though. Pretty sure none of the writers here live on the coast – except for NY? And the North East sees plenty of salt and snow too. Agreed it’s a valid concern though – especially for someone who isn’t a hard core DIY mechanic and just wants the car that they…

Anyone who doesn’t understand the criteria is a coastal idiot, honestly. It’s Minnesota. Year round cars have a pretty short shelf life due to rust and absolutely fuck trying to wrench in the winter if something breaks.

Didn’t you read the request? He wanted something reliable and this Versa ad says it right under the front bumper that the car won’t last long
