Best thing about this is the lack of a annoying touchpad for the infotainment screen. Thank god that thing is dead.

My vote is for the trend of using plastic cladding to make the vehicle more “rugged”.  Subaru is the king of this.  They say it’s to protect the paint but if the cladding if factory and you mess it up, it’s not protecting the paint it’s just messing up the factory trim which people will just replace with new plastic…

America needs more wagons, bring this here please.

Stanley was SO last year, the kids are on to the Owala bottles now.....

Honda Odyssey. The newer ones look good, imagine throwing a turbo in one and see how fun the family hauler could be.

ANY electric vehicle new off the lot.  Mainly for the value hit that is normally double but an ICE car is driving off the lot.  If you change your mind 12-24 months after buying one and want to change your mind, you have a steep hill to climb when you find out that your car has lost 30%+ of it’s value already. 

Pick up the best used Maverick you can for your $25k budget.  They are great!

When I was 9 years old (1992) I went to play golf with my dad and in the parking lot was a bright red Dodge Viper. Turns out there was an NFL player that was teeing off in front of us and invited my dad and I to golf with him. After the round he asked my dad if he could drive me home in the Viper. Ever since that day…

It’s been a thing since the firs gen RS, to the point that there are companies making trim panels to give it a finished look when the spoiler is taken off. It’s a nice look I think, it was the Touring before Porsche invented it. This one looks nice too.

Honda Beat is the answer. So much so that, with your budget, you can buy TWO of the best ones on the market and fit them both in your garage. One fun car is cool but two would be better (math!)

Haha owning three of them, I will pray for you!

I car that needs a new engine every 30k miles wouldn’t be on my short list for best cars ever. When they run they are great but these things are a nightmare.  Also it is not a sedan, Mazda calls it a “Quad Coupe”

1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer

The insurance company is the bad guy here, the dealerhsip is the GOOD GUY for once.  All of these are backed by insurance companies so the dealer took this out of their pocket to make it right.  The dealer should get nothing but good press for cleaning up after the insurnace company.

I saw this from multiple angles last night.  The tow truck driver did not hit the bus.  He turned the corner and his truck fell off the tow truck and rolled in front of a bus.  The truck owner took off IN the tow truck and drove away, finally ditching the tow truck a few blocks away.  This has video from many…

1954 Gregory Roadster 1 of 1. A pioneer of front wheel drive vehicles, Ben Gregory built this with a Porsche 356 engine in the front powering the front wheels. It’s a beautiful car, I saw it this summer at the Lame motor Museum.  Only one that ever made it into production.

How about the 2009 Kia Borrego. One year only, body on frame SUV, with a 4.6 V8 from KIA!!!  Never actually seen one in person, who knows how many are still on the road at this point.

Ryobi, you know what to do..... 

Not only can you buy it at sticker but dealers are already making deals on these.  The covid investory crunch is over (for most brands) and it’s back to a buyers market.

A used BMW 1 series could also be a great budget sports car. Huge community of support and lots of upgrades available.
