Yeah but is it really AWD or the fake electronic one that doesn’t work at all and gets confused in the slippery conditions and disengages above 25mph?

do you actually buy your car to drive it or do you need adaptive cruise to do it for you? Sounds like a ton of money not to enjoy the car and let the computers drive it instead. How many open rural highway miles do you really do per year to have a true need for adaptive cruise? Everything else on interstates should be…

the AWD argument in snowbelt is invalid unless you combo it with winter tires. Without winter tires AWD isn’t worth shit.

exactly my sentiment. CUVs are horrible at everything other than appealing to silly people that don’t know anything other that they want to be cool. Performance and CUV/SUV/Truck are mutually exclusive categories but seems like the masses are gobbling up these “jack of all trades, master of none” cars every day.

I don’t really see this being any success in any shape or form. There is like 3 people that will want to watch it in Chicago, the city will get poor revenue from nonexistent attendance, will have to cough up money for road fixing and finally how the hell do your run a NASCAR event at Grant park. Is it going to be…

oh, you’re missing plenty of fun. If you have tracked your cars and never done it in a manual, you’ve not truly had a track experience yet.

B.S. I’m on my 5th manual car in the last 20 years and i’ve put 100k miles on each one of them commuting and riding around Chicago area including in traffic. I’d never trade for a true automatic but DSG, DCCD boxes do sound like the next step for me sometime in the future if I get tired of 3rd pedal at some point. 

this. All she needed was just to stop and she would have came out as a hero. 

they are, I’d like to drive a BMW but I dislike driving a beaver more...

why even bother with the hassle of rentals. Just put in in a nice index fund and enjoy the 5% annually into perpetuity, worry and risk free. 

GTI all the way. Who the hell recommends Fit? Yeah, if you’re 60 you’d consider this fast and fun but not coming from a BRZ. 

pretty much anything modern that’s less than 5 years old. A lot of cars will light up gauges regardless of what position the headlight switch is on. This falsely gives morons an impression that the headlights must be on as well. Add to this that a lot of DRLs will be on automatically and people will see their…

that may be the case in a lot of cars as well 

agreed that would be an option. it’s the auto lights/DRL combo on the switches that has people confused. DRLs give them the impression that the headlights are on as they can see the reflection in the car’s in front bumper but the rear is off. In other cases, people think that auto lights will take care of everything…

chatted with a pilot last year that interviewed for Delta a few years back and he decided not to take a job with them as he was told that the primary characteristics that Delta looks for in pilots is “customer service”. He was surprised that they weren’t more interested in his piloting skills rather than customer…

automatic headlights. There is a good chunk of our population that is too stupid to figure this out. Make them go away and don’t light up the dash at night if the headlights are not turned on. Too many morons driving at night in the cities without any headlights or only with DRLs because they can’t figure out that…

this shows how a-typical buyer I am. There is hardly anything on this list that would interest me, except the dead last civic. I’m guessing the corolla, Altima and Acord numbers may be boosted by the rental company purchases.

you go ahead and bring this to your off-roading meetup and tell us later what happened... lol 

I always thought that the rule of thumb percentages for what you should spend monthly on X were off of net and not gross income. 

leverage and ability to earn more money in hand than the interest rate on a loan. For example, I bought a $27k car in September of 2020 and while I could have paid cash for it i decided to do a 36 month loan at 1% interest while investing the cash in hand. The loan will cost me about $600 for the duration of the loan…
