I’m way more interested in what the truck has to offer in terms of towing, tech, and powerplant options. The current Tundra is stupidly outdated - running on the same 2007 design.

I’m hoping to trade out my ‘18 Sierra for a ‘22 loaded Sierra AT4 with either the 3.0 diesel or 6.2L. I’ll consider the Tundra if it has a

My previous two trucks had removable rear windows (1st Gen Avalanche, 2nd Gen Escalade EXT).  Neat but not really used much.  The little square in my ‘18 Sierra is fine - allows the airflow I want in.  I really don’t care if it is a square or the whole thing...actually, I probably still prefer the square but it

People that are driving alone, talking to the phone at their mouth (usually in speaker phone mode) in a car that I KNOW has Bluetooth built in.  Seriously, are you too fucking stupid to sync your phone to your car?

1st - Leave that fart sounding, oil burning, unreliable tech dead

2nd - It’s Nissan, what else could we expect. It “did not deliver the performance required to be competitive” is no shocker. If it wasn’t for subprime buyers and rental car companies, Nissan would already be dead.

NA 4-banger in a car not sub 2500lbs = CP
FWD = CP
Crosstour, even cheap, mint, low mileage with AWD V6 = CP

But we will all still get to enjoy you being a racist.

First car - 1984 Renault Alliance coupe. The car is proof that Motor Trend’s car of the year is just paid-off BS, as this was the 1983 car of the year.

I bought it in 1995, so it was only an 11 year old car with less than 100k miles. Just an awful motor. Zero power (had a friend outrun me badly in a base model 80's

I do not get the appeal to these at all. Awful people hauler. Not comfortable. Can’t really tow anything. Has a bed but this small of a truck is limited on weight in the bed. 2WD so going off road isn’t a thing for it either. Doesn’t handle well and is slow.

For all of that, you can pay $6500 for a truck you will need

Audi S3. A ‘16+ can be had in that budget - likely a CPO car at that. Smaller, stylish, fun, good fuel mileage, pretty much everything she wants.

Or if she wants an SUV - Porsche Macan S.  Might be able to squeeze into a Turbo as well but that’s a stretch in today’s pricing.

I tried to buy a fully loaded ‘21 Sierra AT4 a couple months ago. Nothing local, and my local prices are awful regardless of the pandemic situation. My go to volume GMC dealer, which typically has several hundred trucks on the lot, had absolutely nothing. Carvana was already offering more for my ‘18 than I paid for

There are many homosexual folks that aren’t into that, and hetero folks that are.  You are looking for something that isn’t there.

12 years ago. I owned an ‘02 Chevy Avalanche North Face Edition. Me, wife, and two of my friends were coming back from an NHRA race. One of them needed to take a leak. We were in the middle of nowhere, so I pulled off on a side road. I did a three point turn around, parking in the grass next to an embankment.

Well, the

Other than as a “look what I can do” this is totally pointless and ruins the car.

When people do LS swaps, they do it for the light weight for the size of the motor, reasonable price, compact package for a V8, parts availability, reliability, and ability to make big power. Same goes for your Busa example. Typically,

There are plenty of people at a number of income levels that have a “toy” car along with their daily drivers. You may not be familiar with this thing called the used car market. People are sure buying them now, as used sports cars are going for quite the premium right now.

As for your stagnant wage statement over the

Should ask them about timing chain guides and oil leaking from every orifice of a motor - two things the Germans to this day suck at dealing with.

Ehhh, these are over-hyped. FWD = no-go. 240HP isn’t much, though I’m sure more could be wrung out of it, it’s probably good for maybe 300HP reliably without really digging into it.

Sorry, for the money, there are better performers to be had that do everything this car does but better.  

Ariel is a British brand, built under license by TMI Autotech here.  I really want one but don’t want to pay the 80k+ for the model I want.  

The price is just stupid. Not a lot of low mileage Turbo Cayenne’s out there for sale, but I found two with the same or less mileage for around 16k.

No mention of the coolant crossover pipes being replaced.  Huge weakness with these motors and at this mileage they could be stock - which means they could let go at ANY

Summer 2002. My ‘94 Firebird Formula 6MT. Was a caged, 12-bolt rear, nitrous car that I upgraded to ported heads and a decent sized cam. Seems the injector O-rings didn’t seal. Took it for a test drive after doing a bit of work, to find smoke coming from under the hood.

Grabbed the hose and put out the, luckily, very

It will take thousands of dollars to get rid of this body kit and make the car right.  And for 10k all-in, there are roadsters I’d much rather have - like a Boxster - though I don’t really want a roadster.
