YOU FOOL! Take me with you!

Exactly. I think the details that this was a low mileage survivor Turbo S model which is rare, especially in white, are important here. A run of the mill red turbo in ok shape still sold for under $10k just the day before.

That photo sums things up pretty well. “Home of the Cruze” banner hanging over a street flush with trucks, a few crossovers and just two or three compact sedans.

I used to work at the Sears HQ and they had a deal with Hoffman PD where they’d allow them to troll the lots and garages for expired tags and no front plates. Jerks.

It’s only about $530 at a 96 month loan term. SMH.

You’re right. I have a two and a four year old. Everything is to the tune and cadence of Octonauts, Pete the Cat, and all their contemporaries.

OH NO. Pete needed a giant pile of CAMPING GEAR.

He was fun to fight, for sure.

Huh. I don’t think I’ve ever really thought of the 60% part as big enough for two, but this does make a ton of sense. Thanks!

I think it’s the same reason you’d want a 60/40 split in seats in any other car - flexibility. Sometimes you have something wider to put in there (a ladder, kayak, throw bags of mulch, etc.), other times a smaller opening makes more sense (dimensional lumber, quick access, etc.).

A couple of things are at play here, I think. 1) they know it’s far harder for you to say ‘no’ when looking someone in the eyes than on the phone and 2) if you had to travel to get to the dealer, there is pressure on you as a buyer to make a deal happen so that you don’t feel like you wasted the time. Year ago, I…

I find there are a lot of other little psychological things dealers can do when you are in person as well - put the keys in your hand (while they’re sorting everything out, you get to play with the shiny new fob), show you the car under lights, there’s a lot of distracting activity going on, put numbers on paper right…

I generally feel that way whenever I drive past a Toyota dealership, although around here 4Runners, Tacomas, and anything with a TRD sticker appears to be a license to print money. I think they look cool, and the trucks are for sure capable, but I don’t look to them for anything I’d actually buy. Honda makes literally…

I think I could say that for pretty much their whole lineup. We just got a ‘19 Odyssey, it’s great on its own merits and smothers the competition. Somehow, their vehicles all drive WAY better than any of their competition. The passion for a quality product which drives nicely is still there, for sure.

I’ll add, the…

There is a sacrifice in interior space and flexibility when you go AWD in a minivan, but I agree - the option would be very nice in places where it would be put to use.

I JUST bought what could be considered the Pilot’s closest competitor, the Odyssey (same platform, same damn dashboard) in EX trim and holy crap do you get a lot for that money in a much more practical package.

fucking hell.

Maybe add fuel cards as part of SNAP benefits? IDK, just split balling.

I went to college in a hick town and “hookin’ ‘em up” was a legit end to more than a few discussions. Nice one.

possibly masturbating?
