Dining out is expensive and not as good as a home cooked meal in most cases. That’s an easy one to give up (I’d argue you’re not even giving anything up, but gaining better food).

Remember when fuel prices fell to the floor during covid? People were fucking pissed when prices returned to normal.

Car buyers killed the cheap used car.

The price is good, but with all the work it would take to bring this poor guy back to original condition (which is what I would want), it’s not worth it.

BOSS 302Rs were 80k back in ~2012, and the only ones I saw at dealers were in the low 100s. GT500s were like 50k at the time.

I miss this era of weird, fast European cars. This, and the Saab 9-3 Viggen were cars I lusted after. There’s something about the idea of an unassuming car that were pretty quick that really appealed to younger me. 

this is a no judgment zone.

It now expects to see losses from EVs hit $4.5 billion this year, up from an earlier estimate of $3 billion. That’s more than double the $2.1 billion the company lost on EVs last year.

Unless you really take advantage of the 4xe’s 22-mile electric range, you’re probably never going to save enough gas to make up the difference in MSRP.

For the discerning Jalop that wants the functionality of a lift-back coupe with the style of a hatchback.

to fix the Sienna’s epic butt ugliness.

but it’s also the worst minivan of the bunch solely because the middle row isn’t removeable.

I would say a Prius would be an outlier for a Karen car. Way too environmental.

and the first model year was 2009

The R35 GT-R.

I gave it a NP because of the future value. Buy it. Garage it. Drive it a few weekends in the summer. Then wait for the value to appreciate.

$40k is up a lot from their troughs. These dipped pretty hard during the GFC and could be had in the $30s for a long time.

Or a C6 ZR1 for 10K more

NP.

Toyota likes the 86 but the figures just don’t support the R&D required to turbocharge an engine that isn’t even theirs, even with Subaru’s assistance.
