Steel tariffs were a good example of how they hurt the American economy and only succeed at appeasing the lower rungs of society for making it seem like they are “sticking it to the foreigners.” Back when Trump was president, the tariffs for Chinese steel went through the roof and do you know what American steel…

So if I am ever speeding in Irvine, the best way to lose the cops is to drive through a carwash?

Can we talk about the interior, specifically the dash and center console? Maybe it looks better in person where the contrasting textures and surfaces are more noticeable but it looks like they took a fairly boring dash and added what looks like an aftermarket retrofit kit to convert analog gauges to a iphone and…

My guess is that the group of people were laughing because Musk likes to surround himself with “yes” people who will also laugh at his inappropriate and unfunny jokes.

It’s no surprise to hear that a Brit was the first person charged with drink driving given that 95% of the people who drunkenly fall of balconies at parties and roof bars in Southern Spain are British.

I had a 2020ish C-class diesel wagon on a trip to Portugal and it was the perfect family hauler with plenty of space for our luggage, great handling, plenty of power, and near 50 mpg fuel economy.

It may sound a bit odd to call a luxury car a beater truck, but I plan on keeping my 2014 X5 diesel as my “beater” for as long as I can keep it on the road without breaking the bank. It has 150K miles on the clock but is the perfect as a long-range family hauler (excellent fuel economy, driving position, and comfort),…

I agree it’s important to strike a balance between saving and enjoying life while you still can, but in moderation. For example, instead of spending nearly $100K on that M3 comp, pick up a 3 year old CPO M3 for $55K and put the rest into an investment.

I couldn’t agree more. I can’t tell you how many post I have read in the BMW subreddit showing a brand new $100K M3 or M4 Comp and the question of whether or not they should have bought it with their $100K/year salary. I was very fortunate to hit the 6-figure mark in my mid-twenties but instead 0f buying an $80K M5, I…

I suspect that this person Anthony has a sever learning or cognitive disability because I can’t fathom how someone can make such poor financial decisions back-to-back. Sure, I like to drive fun, unique, and fast cars but I would never overpay (or even pay retail) for anything just to satisfy an itch. I have a friend…

It blows my mind that the Tonale is a $50K+ vehicle. Granted, I had the Europoor version with less power and FWD when I was in Italy but it certainly did not feel like a car with a $40K+ sticker.

The lower-powered X1 comes to $45K with the premium package that includes everything I would want in a car. The Hornet in GT PLus trim and similar features comes to around $42K which is way too much for an economy car, let alone an entry level premium car. And that doesn’t account for the fact that the X1 has more…

I had a Tonale rental car in Italy for a week and a half and while it is a fine enough car, there is no way I would buy one over an X1, which is a much better car, let alone a Q3 or GLB. It was way overpriced, noisy, unrefined, and felt a size class smaller than the X1 despite not feeling any more nimble when…

I am surprised State Farm is not on the list. When I was in my mid twenties, I backed into a wall with my Subaru which lead to about $1,200 in repairs, zero injuries, and zero property claims other than for my car. My premiums went from around $1,500 per year to more thank $3K per year.

And that she’s a woman even further upsets that incel.

The older and more financially comfortable I get, the less I want my life to be in the public, whether on social media or in the real world. And after reading about how most celebrities and socialites can’t even go to the coffee shop without being mobbed, or constantly harassed on the internet. I can’t imagine any…

Sounds like a car from GTA.

I feel the same way. I love large hatchbacks and wagons but the Celestiq just doesn’t do it for me as the design looks like a jumbled mess, stretched to Fleetwood 75 proportions. The convertible works much better which leads me to think a more conventional hatch or fastback would have been a better way to go for the…

2nd Gear - Based on my recent experience with a Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Stellantis has a long way to go to meet quality expectations for an SUV priced to compete with luxury vehicles. Overall, the car felt fine but the interior felt incredibly cheap given its $50K+ sticker price. The buttons felt like they were out of…

Even further back, I remember seeing limos with the v-shaped antenna for regular uhf/vhf TV.
