I bought a BMW e39 M5 at a Cadillac Audi dealer. Original owner of the M5 had traded it in on a 2013 Audi S6 a couple days earlier. They had it front and center on their lot and just wanted it gone. Amazing great experience, loved the buying experience and as a result I always check out the front row of their lot when…

My parents fought for a few hours to get the keys back on their Mercedes 300E trade in when buying their 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The dealer wanted to give them basically nothing on the trade in after they had everything sorted out. Luckily in this small area of 300k population, there was no less than 6 local Jeep…

I’m excited to hear that Mazda is doing well, they make some sharp looking cars and the people that know who own them, love them.

If I had to buy a cuv, I’d buy an eco sport because it doesn’t look angry, I like it. But yeah, for some reason people in the US like aggressive looking vehicles.

I can see the advantage of both.  The Samurai is far easier to get parts for which instantly makes it more valuable in my eyes.  Having driven a Samurai a lot, the lack of power is one of the most fun parts of it, slow car fast is taken to the extreme with it.  Also the convertible is a great time.

A girl I dated really enjoyed my Mini JCW. Particularly she enjoyed driving it when I told her to lean on the turbo a bit. Big smile and lots of giggles ensued.

If there is a real manual transmission, this is the exact vehicle I want! I can think of many advantages of having the manual on an electric off road vehicle, you could craw and stop like an auto off reader but without the power sucking slippage of an auto trans connected to a gas engine. The extra gearing allow more…

It’s simple. Lease the Suzuki Jimny design and sell is as a Chrysler product. Compete against their own Jeep brand and corner the off road market by just having more models available then everyone else. Chrysler already knows how to compete with itself, it spent the entirety of the 80s building everything on two…

Back in the 90s my parents owned two 80s Mercedes-Benzs. The local dealer the charging $100 an hour in their service department. They went and found a wonderful local German mechanic to work on them for much less. Fast forward a few years and my parents purchased a used BMW e38. The BMW dealer was much more reasonably…

I own a car with a front bench seat with a real middle spare seat, Oldsmoblie Eighty Eight, it is quite nice to have the space. If my arm is feeling fatigued, I can fold down the center back rest which becomes an arm rest. That arm rest even contains fold out cup holders.

Some bad pictures I took of it.

People who turn their noses up at the Yuplsion haven't had the pleasure of driving one.  I got the opportunity to rent one when I was in Milan for work last year and it was a wonderful little car.  Surprisingly spacious for all four passengers, characterful 4 cylinder with 65hp driving the front wheels through a nice…

I had one as a rental last year when I was in Milan for work.  It was a fantastic little car.  The interior is very well designed and surprisingly spacious for all four passengers.  Not a lot of trunk space with the rear seats up but enough.  I had the low end NA 4 cylinder connected to a 5 speed manual, it was a hoot…

I’ve driven a number of EVs as they do make me curious. Admittedly I haven’t ridden in or driven a Tesla yet. However they all bore me as I love driving standard shift vehicles. My favorite car to drive is my 62 Austin Healey Sprite, it’s an inconvenient vehicle to operate, doesn’t even have self canceling turn…

Touch screens are a main reason I don’t like new cars and I’ve known many people to seek out certain cars because they didn’t come with the infotainment option.

I’ll buy what ever interests me when I’m interested in something. There are two cars I have that I’ll likely never get rid of, my 62 Austin Healey Sprite that my dad and grandfather bought in 1973, and the 99 Oldsmoblie Eighty Eight that my grandparents purchased brand new and gave to me as my first car.

Mini actually still sells very well in the rest of the world, it is struggling in the US.

Yes, I’ve heard of this being a thing on many older British cars.

I have driven as a rental, the only Lancia for sale today, the Yuplsion. It was a great little car, very fun to zip around Italy. However it by no means follows in line with the awesome history Lancia has.  They could do so much more. 

I'll be first in line for the two door Jeep pickup.
