That used to be the case. It’s really not now, especially on popular models. If you are looking at a 1-4 year-old car, look at new ones, as well. You may find some that are reasonable deals, but you also might find a Tacoma selling for more than new (and you WILL find the Ford Maverick selling used for more than new…

I keep arguing with touchscreen apologists about why I want buttons, and it’s articles like this that make them think people insisting on buttons are being disingenuous. It’s not dangerous or even especially inconvenient to have settings that you won’t change while driving placed into a touchscreen menu. Climate…

This total didn’t even include taxes and the like. The person said “$98,990 + $7000 + TTL”

Research and test drives only go so far, especially when buying new. Sometimes widespread problems will only start cropping up later and sometimes the limits of a test drive mean you won’t truly know how it’s going to feel on the daily. And sometimes you just get a crappy car or crappy dealer, and that sours you on…

VW electrical issues will not surprise anyone here, but I had a coworker whose Tiguan sunroof would just open sometimes. He had similar issues with rain. I don’t think he ever chased that electrical problem down, and he was underwater on the loan when he finally got rid of it.

The “plug it everywhere” is talking about plugging into a 120 AC outlet. It’s about keeping the small battery on the Prius Prime charged to avoid using the gas engine it also has.

I’ve got CarMax shipping one to Idaho from Salt Lake City right now so I can check it out. They are even shipping it for free, so that’s pretty nice.

I like to use an analogy to illustrate that “both sides suck” is not the same as “both sides are equal.” If someone lets their dog poop on your lawn and doesn’t pick it up, that’s not the same as someone who walks up and shits on your welcome mat.

I think Ghost Boner is pretty clear.

Correct. That’s exactly why there can never be another Netflix type of success. It only worked because there was a lot of doubt that people would leave cable for streaming. Now that it’s proven and everyone wants to cash in, none of them can.

The part none of them seem to understand is that Netflix was so successful at first because they were the streaming platform. You could get a ton of content for a much lower price than television. But the different companies started pulling their licensing to create their own platforms. Instead of avoiding cable with…

Not only buy, but keep. Once you bought that DVD/Laserdisc/VHS/Whatever, you were saddled with it forever, since there is no way to get rid of lightly-used objects.

That is a bit of a relief. Guess I shouldn't trust the top Google result. I didn't see they had full specs available via Ford.

When they announced the dimensions of the new Ranger, I had to double-check I knew the Silverado width. I’m looking to downsize, so I was shocked to realize the new mid-sizers are literally as big as the full-size of 20 years ago. I hope the Tacoma stays a little thinner to please the off-road crowd, but they seem to…

Length is one important factor for a lot of people, but I’m interested in width. The 2024 Ranger is about as wide as my 2002 Silverado, and that is wider than I would want in a mid-size pickup.

Yeah, the whole problem with the ID.4 window controls is the need to look for visual confirmation and the lack of consistency in being able to hit the switch. This has neither problem. I don’t think people anyone was just mad at the idea of saving a little space.

Further, please tell me no one puts an apostrophe at the beginning when the removed letters are at the end. Or, perhaps, ‘dont tell me.

The United States has been a country for months (2874 months since it was first recognized, 2905 since confederation, 2961 since the Declaration of Independence).

I’m surprised they didn’t try to pin a felony on the driver he was supposedly pursuing so they could pin this on that driver as felony murder.

Honda Ridgeline. It’ll be like the quad-cab SSR that never was!
