I considered the Caliber, but they did make an SRT-4 model of that.

Dodge Neons will be around forever, because the SRT-4 ACR cars are so valuable that people will always maintain them.

It’s not technically on sale yet, but if you ignore the headlights and the lack of a grill, you’d have a hard time telling what decade the Rivian R3X is from:

This person is what the Toyota Crown is made for.

Is that more luxurious inside than my top- trim Palisade? Can’t tell from the pictures, but it doesn’t really seem like it.

There are four types of people who ride bicycles: children too young to drive; people who got DUI’s and can’t drive; people who can’t afford cars; and participants in the Tour de France. It’s not enjoyable. It’s not something that people do for fun, or as a hobby. You’re either doing it competitively, or because you…

The entire purpose of a bicycle is that it’s something you use because you can’t afford a car. Unless you’re riding in the Tour de France, it’s not something you do if you can afford an alternative. For $7,000, you can get a perfectly servicable used car AND a Peleton if you feel the need to exercise.

SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for a bicycle??? Why in the world would you spend used car money on a bicycle? Just buy a car at that point! You can get a perfectly fine bicycle at Target for like three hundred bucks!

Nah; I’ve tried many many times, paid for classes in using a manual, killed a car battery once by stalling at least 300 times in a row without being able to get in gear once. I just can't do it, same way I can't fly a plane or do brain surgery. 

I’d take the Civic instead; I don’t know how to drive stick so a Focus RS would be an expensive paperweight for me.

This would be about 2005; I was driving a 1987 Toyota Corolla with 155/80 R13 tires. On a major road with a 45 mph in a rain storm, the light ahead turns red, and I ease into the brakes. They immediately lock, and I’m skidding. Thankfully (and this is the only reason I’m alive today) I had left plenty of room between…

I currently own two cars: a 2015 Mustang GT that’s been my daily driver for the last ten years, and a 2024 Hyundai Pallisade Calligraphy I got because the Mustang was coming up on 100,000 miles and I want to keep it for a long time and I don’t want to wear it out.

Let’s compare my 2011 Cayman with the 2015 Mustang GT I bought to replace it, excluding normal wear items.

As a former Cayman owner, absolutely not. You can’t consider a manufacturer to be the standard of the world if you’re terrified of owning one out of warranty. Porsches break down a lot, and the breakdowns are expensive. Doesn’t matter how great a car is when it’s in the shop.

At the risk of TMI: I’ve been on these medications twice, with an 18 month gap in the middle where I couldn’t get access to them. Both times I had gastroparesis so bad that I ended up giving myself hemorrhoids bad enough I had to go to the emergency room for. Medication is still worth it; it’s a life saver.

Which I suppose avoids the complexity of having that interlock tied in to the transmission. Still, not something I’ve seen on other cheap old economy cars.

Just in case you thought that design flaws were limited to newer vehicles: when I was in college, I drove a 1987 Toyota Corolla. Being a college student, I lent my car out to a bunch of other people on a regular basis. Invariably, when they gave me the car back, they’d tell me that they had to leave the keys in the…

Oh no, how dare people who drive cars... “us[e] all the range there is”? I fill my ICE cars’ gas tanks to the top, and refill when they’re down to about 10% capacity, and that’s just what you do with cars. If it’s considered “abuse” to do the same thing with a Tesla, well, that just means a Tesla isn’t really a…

I have a Hyundai Pallisade Calligraphy, which is better in most every way than the Telluride - I know people like the Telluride’s styling better, but the interior of the Pallisade is way more logically laid out and a nicer place to be. Functionally they’re virtually identical - the only real difference is that the…

There’s a very real chance Tesla is going the way of Fisker, and who wants to be stuck with a vehicle that requires server connections to servers that may not exist in a year?
