I’m not buying someone else’s track car that is also a project. That said, it’s probably a nice price if someone is okay with that.

I think it’s the tires. They look like the wrong tire for this car. I also would be suspicious of the lack of interior photos. This one would also get a ND vote from me, but I’d at least have to think about it.

If you are as bad at the missions as I am, they add as many hours as you can take before you give up to that playtime.

It really feels like it wants to ensure you have tried a variety of vehicles and raced everywhere before it makes everything dry up for you. Like giving you generous samples to suck you in.

We should all feel justified in voting ND on the 96 Impala SS a few NPOND back. It had 40k more miles, $4500 higher price, and the seller seemed like a dick.

They won’t even have to modify the headlights. I can already hear the 4 eyes joke.

Inventory is really plentiful for these Fusions.

My PHEV is the EX Premium and the tire noise is loud, specifically from the rear tires. Next time I find an EV on the lot, I might ask if they’ll let me take it on some of the louder road to see if I have the same experience as you. They tend to want the EVs to stay close because they don’t seem to like to keep them…

I voted NP, because I think it is reasonable for whoever is going to buy it. That said, I don’t really know who the buyer is. It’s the sort of thing that might be neat for a little while, but you’ll probably end up just wishing you had the Mercedes or the Corvette.

Sure, if you are willing to wait. Most Ford dealers are offering at or below MSRP for an order, even if they are marking up the ones on the lot. They want sales volume, and customer orders show up in addition to dealer allotment.

Having been in both, the one thing the Mav has going for it is that it is pretty affordable for what you get. In the Santa Cruz, I would really want that engine upgrade that is only available on higher trims. In the Mav, you can get either powertrain at any trim level.

While we can certainly bemoan the loss of the economy car, you do mention some good news in this:

I didn’t always feel old looking at this site. But knowing several cars on this list were built after I started driving AND that my first car was 8 years older than the oldest one on this list is starting to make me feel old.

I suspect he sees high peaks leading up to New Year’s Eve, with maybe another peak at Saint Patrick’s Day(maybe some Mardi Gras drinking in there, somewhere too), then a comparative lull.

“All-walk” would be ideal, but it isn’t hard to see how a very high vehicle with thick pillars makes it harder to see pedestrians. And it isn’t just the fault of the owners, since safety testing has been occupant-focused and encouraged thicker pillars and more structure. And, of course, SUVs and pickups are what…

we’re doing some clever things with dealers to keep [those customers] mobile

I like the collection aspect and want to complete my car pokedex, but I certainly do not need to hang on to every car in it. Wish they would let us sell.

But standard time zones aren’t really objective. Especially not on a global scale. China has one time zone, despite its size (it would be in 4 time zones. Idaho, on the other hand, uses PST/PDT on the northern panhandle and MST/MDT for the southern part of the state, despite the western half being more appropriately…
