The Ford Ecosport is a bad vehicle in every conceivable way and should Ford should be ashamed for still selling it in this market. 

Some of those price increases aren’t price increases at all. The $80 price increase on the XLT doesn’t come close to keeping pace with our breakneck inflation. The XLT just became a better value!

And in return for all of the data that Google collects, their app tells you the roads and turns that will take you to the address or coordinates that you enter. It’s literally all right there in the terms and conditions that most consumers fail to read before checking “I have read and agree to the terms and…

In what twisted world does Google maps owe anything to anybody? Drivers must do a better job of observing road conditions and not being idiots. Bloggers must do a better job shifting through their shit takes.

I still love my first car. I’ll venture to say that nobody in history has experienced more coitous in a single motor vehicle than I did in that car.

I’m no sure that I would even ride in this turd if you gave me $4500.

That cheap-bastard at the end sure has a lot of grievances but I can’t say I disagree with him.

Funny story: I used to drive by his house every day, and had no idea that was his house. A co-worker was giving me a ride to work one day because my car was in the shop and I noted that the residents had already shoveled their driveway completely clear. He said, “the driveway is probably heated, he certainly has the…

Life is a game of inches.
In my career as a salesperson I’ve missed the next bonus level, which would have netted me an additional large sum of money, by as little as $35. I’ve also made the next bonus level by as little as ~$100. Nobody demanded anything or pissed their pants in either case.

I’m a 904L kind of guy, but only because I paid too much for a chunk of it.

Metal rankings: My wife seems to think the best metal is a mixture of gold, nickel, and palladium.
I’m a bigger fan of yellow gold and stainless steel.

Is it true that you’re barely allowed to leave your home right now?

I only speak with insurance companies on the phone one time, to inform them that all communications must be mail, electronic or snail. This really only works because I have access to other vehicles, so I can drag it out as long as needed.

They initially told me that they will “settle the debt of the residual value and remaining payments with Honda” and that I won’t “have any financial liability.”
Bahahaha well no shit! The buyout on the lease was $24k and the remainder of my payments was about $4300. You can’t buy the same MY van with similar miles for…

Here’s what I most recently emailed the insurance company:

Your customer ran a red light and T-boned me. He admitted that he was texting at the time of the accident. His negligence and recklessness should not result in me being out one cent. That’s your responsibility, as you agreed to insure him as a motor vehicle…

Neutral: I commented last week that I’d been in another accident and my vehicle would likely be totaled.
Well, here we are and the insurance company for the other guy wants to total my van. Now I’m fighting with them on the value, which is fun because they’re accustomed to consumers who don’t know better than to just…

Great question. We don’t know that he had insurance or that it was registered. The repo man was clearly able to locate that specific vehicle base don its outward appearance so it must have had the same plates or temp tags that the “salesman” had on there. IDK how Texas works but tags don’t follow the vehicle here in…

The only hope for this vehicle at that price is that it lasts enough miles that the $4500 is small price to pay. But I don’t think it has another 45k miles before it no longer makes send to keep running, so it’s probably costing over $.10/mile +gas+oil+insurance. No Dice.

haha yep. Aussies are incredibly well-traveled, so I’ve met many while on vacation and the stuff they tell people about their strange land... It’s like holy crap no wonder God saw fit to isolate the place!

I was thinking about picking up a heavily depreciated Leaf for commuting to the airport back when I spent 51 weeks/year out of town, since it would have allowed me to park in one of the sweet, charger equipped EV spots that are right by the elevator in the parking garage. I also didn’t necessarily want my Mercedes…
