If I had the time to go to NY, I would consider a cross-country trip for this one. Low miles, great shape, and not something I’m gonna find around here.

I’m gonna keep saying it: the road to electrification hinges on significant subsidies for the chargers.

The mods (should) drag down the price. Gonna need to spend time and money to de-shitify it.

A huge problem is that you must constantly have profit GROWTH. It’s never enough to make money, if that money is consistent. If you had 3 billion last year, 3 billion this year is a failure. But growing from $10,000 to $10,200 means everyone dumps money into the stock expecting more growth. 

A Prowler would be a fun car to have, but not like this and not for this money. At $3500, I’d be willing to undo and redo anything necessary. At $35000, I am not willing to look, much less with the vibe I am getting from this listing.

It’s not that it’s old or small. It’s that it is small, uncomfortable, and somehow gets worse gas mileage than the larger Escape.

I think it’s mostly poor planning. They offered some leases for a bit that put them cheaper per month than the lower-spec gas jeeps, and that probably drove sales. Since I assume that lease will have a ridiculously high buyout, expect a bunch of CPO 4XE when those leases are up.

Absolutely a NP. Easiest one in a bit.

I always assumed the lyrics were about gameplay:

My girlfriend has an Altima (2008, I think), and her reasons for buying it included large cupholders for her water bottle and the blue color (which, in true Nissan fashion, went to shit). They aren’t cars for people who care about cars. They are cars for someone who wants something pretty basic, fairly comfortable,…

I can ALMOST get behind standardizing production and locking features behind a ONE TIME paywall, since it could conceivably reduce manufacturing costs to produce fewer hardware options. But a subscription for something that they could just unlock is beyond ridiculous.

I think these might be a little easier to set to autonomously park. 

I still think that the biggest motivator to go electric will be the likely eventual prevalence of charging everywhere. Subsidize charging station installation and watch them get added to parking lots all over the place. Instead of trying to replace the gas station with charging stations, have charging everywhere. 

I think part of the growth of pickups has been things like the move away from the S10s and old Rangers. The F150 has gotten bigger, but the Ranger is where the drastic change is.

This is the quality content we needed regarding the tank/pickup size comparisons.

Beta testing features that could potentially cause accidents should involve an application process to ensure good candidates, increased insurance, and participants reporting on their experience. This is just selling a feature you can’t properly deliver.

Just going by headline, I assume Honda is trying to kill off riders of a certain electric motorcycle brand. Which is, of course, a lot easier than their actual goal.

But it won’t get everyone searched. I can tell a cop I have a gun and they will usually just tell me not to grab it. I have been asked to step out of the vehicle once in my probably slightly too many traffic stops, and it was one of several in which I announced that I had a firearm in the vehicle. I’ve never had them…

Hell, I can tell a cop I have a gun and they will usually just tell me not to grab it. I have been asked to step out of the vehicle once in my probably slightly too many traffic stops, and it was one of several in which I announced that I had a firearm in the vehicle. I’ve never had them so much as request to search.

I find it really odd that the Stellantis dealer is pushing the difference between this and cell phone adoption. I remember people pushing back because we had home phones and pay phones, so why would we need a phone in our pockets. We all recognized the convenience as cell networks improved coverage.  Similarly, I…
