I’m down for fun car colors. This is a movement behind which I can get.

If the cool people at Lexus are reading this and want to make change my life, I’ll gladly accept the gift of a 2023 RX500h in Copper Crest.

If not, and the scenario below is something with which any reader could help, HMU. I’m hoping to barn find…

If I were in a position to enact new laws, the first one I would implement is one where amateur project cars, complete or incomplete have a maximum value of $1,000, with future adjustments in this top value in line with inflation.

Increasing versatility of vehicles is great. Seating capacity is a limiting factor of my truck. I do need a truck to do truck things, however, with just room for 4 passengers, a larger crew requires then the use of an SUV and trailer for similar utility. For certain adventures a trailer is simply impractical, so a 3…

Good reply and assessment. Permanence of toxins in the body or the environment are certainly more concerning factors. 

It figuratively kills me when I read these types of things in articles. I try to only poke fun when commenters make grammatical errors, but I expect those who write for a living to actually be good at doing so. Moreover, I would hope that editorial reviews happen before news or commercial blogs post their copy. 

EVs are there yet. From a distance, this push for EVs is a mess. It is half-hearted, with only a few exceptions. Battery and charging tech are major limiting factors. I feel that many manufacturers are making this move because they saw Tesla’s growing success encroaching on their share, and stealing a segment of…

Don’t Anthony Kiedis and Jonathan Davis both have affectations in their speaking, but sing/vocalize with otherwise normal clarity? 

For the average person it isn’t smart or practical to bother restoring a car with water damage. Cars aren’t made to be in water and the results can be catastrophic. I guess though, not all flood cars are created equal. I would guess that many that are totaled, are because assumptions of damage are made without…

Touché. That’s a solid point. “Chomping at the bit” has been misused for so long that this incorrect version has become the defacto standard. In conversation, I may assimilate to the norm of a conversation if the new version is the preferred one, however in written prose, sticking with the correct version seems like…

Yes, all good points. I also imagine that living life with a speech impediment can be difficult at times. I’d hope that people are mostly kind enough not to judge you because of it.

The “I could care less” is a good one. Like “chomping at the bit”, “I could care less” seems to have been so widely used that it has…

Does the service duty upfitting occur with an aftermarket third party? Why would Ford foot that bill? Am I missing something?

Also, one thing stands out as sus to me. CO levels below acceptable levels doesn’t, at least to me, say that there isn’t a problem. To me, that’s like when there’s an elevated, and possibly…

I like that you did use “almost” to qualify your statement. I think there are exceptions and situations where salty cars could be ok, but not for me. 

My grammar and vocabulary leave a lot to be desired, but somewhere along the way I learned the nugget of truth that “chomping at the bit” is incorrect.

To me, “chomping at the bit” and other commonly misused phrase make me feel nauseated. The bar for reading and writing is low for many to muddle through school.

However…

Thanks. If I could be the one to break you from the chains of being in the grays, I would.

All cars totaled for water damage are not created equal. Each case will be different and some are just fine as they are now, and will bare no scars aside from a branded title. Salt water, and major intrusion of particulate are no bueno, but a car that had a wet floor from mostly clean water and dried quickly in…

Depending on the depth of the water, the duration of submersion, the type and cleanliness of the water, the systems affected, etc. there will be many awesome vehicles that will be fine with some cleaning and/or replacement of porous interior materials.

Oh many a YouTuber are standing in line to show you perfectly fine Teslas they got for $2500. 

I’m not an accountant, and I agree that the explanations given in the post don’t really support a marked, significant increase in the profit jump during that period. However, I don’t feel that the story is complicated.
Like the housing market, asking prices go up until they can’t. They come back down when they have to.

This just feels like a cycle and I think we’re in the trough of a parabola. At this point the supply chain has more or less come back online, and demand has softened. Can the auto manufacturers sustain their statements from a year ago when they professed that they’d never return to their old ways?

When do they stop…

When did leasing really hit its stride?
