Wrong motor. Needs the turbo motor, or better yet, a LSx swap.

It’s a Solstice.  Buy a Sky - it just looks better and should cost about the same.  

10 million cars I have zero interest in ever owning.  Boring, FWD, A to B machines.  Hard pass.

As someone who owned an GMT800 (Avalanche North Face Edition), GMT900 (Escalade EXT) and currently a K2xx (‘18 Sierra), the GMT800 did NOT have a better build quality or better parts.

It did have VERY rot prone brake and fuel lines, undersized front brakes (which can be cheaply swapped to GMT900 brakes), all of which I

15k CAD is about 12k USD.  This thing is almost 19k CAD.  Does that solidly change your answer?

Ariel Atom 4. I could come up with the cash (would have to sell my current fun car and beat the hell out of my savings account), but dropping 97k (getting only the must-have options) on one is hard to do. The 3S goes for the 70-80k range, so that’s not really much better. Hard to justify on a toy I can’t even chance

As the owner of a C6 Z06 (making about 600 to the wheels), I highly support this new Z06. The Z06 was all about being lightweight and track focused. I love the C7 Z06 and love the LT4 powerplant, but always felt like it wasn’t quite the same as the C5/C6 Z06 (to be fair, I’d trade my C6Z for a C7Z without question).

My

And a huge money grab.

Tax exemption should be taken away from all churches.  They are in the business of selling their religion, and it is a business.  

Shocker that she was just fired. Also a shocker that she had no license. I hope they throw the book at her.

Believe whatever religious non-sense you want, just keep it to yourself and don’t endanger (or bother) others with your beliefs.  That goes well beyond being behind the wheel.

No, they deserve to hear the full roasting.  These are utterly stupid mistakes by a new driver not paying a damn bit of attention to what they are doing.  They need to understand driving takes a real responsibility and has consequences.

Exactly. How does a car land nose first into the pool AFTER driving over a fence while in reverse?

Just another poorly written Jalopnik story.

Take a car that never handled well or had good balance to begin with, then swap in an all-iron V8 in there. That just makes things worse.

So basically, is it worth it to have a POS 80's FWD car that makes more power than it did stock while having worse driving dynamics?  The answer is easy - no.  In general, friends

Adblock Plus along with a Pihole DNS server running off a cheap (and can be older) Raspberry Pi also gets the job done, while covering the whole house in the process.

No amount of commercial insurance on that trunk is going to come close to covering that bridge replacement.  I see a company going out of business quickly.

How much does a well used, low end side-by-side sell for now days?  I’d rather have that.

I wouldn’t pay 3k for this thing even if the transmission worked correctly (and I guarantee it needs more than a $100 part...and the rest of the car needs far more than that as well).

BMW MSD80 DME. They won’t repair it, even though it is typically a MOSFET replacement to fix it (90% of the time at least...wasn’t for me, sadly). They just want over 2k to swap it and is a dealer-only fix.

Or you can pay one of a couple people out there to program your CAS to a MSD81 DME for $500 (used DME included)

Residual value is only one part of the equation, and is a best guess, made up number by the leasor. But there are three other significant factors that make up whether a lease is good or bad:
#1 - Money Factor. Bad rate can kill a lease deal. On the other end, if MSD’s are allowed, you can get a killer MF though you are

Just say no to a slide show.

My Vette is only 15 years old and hardly and exotic, but I paid 27k last December and would easily sell for 35k today, if not more. 15k won’t even get you a base C6 that runs today. 15k doesn’t buy you a whole lot - even high mileage, fairly rough condition, base model 996 Porsche’s go for more than that.

Your numbers don’t take into account that some cars lease well while others lease like garbage (at least pre-COVID...not everything is garbage pricing, buy or lease). That means some make sense to lease over even buying while others make way more sense to buy even if you dump it in 3-4 years.

Trucks for instance,
