Bingo. Moreover the same $20k will get you a newer used Toyota or Honda than it would a used luxury brand. In a “year or so” you’ll likely even be able to sell it for pretty much what you paid for it if this crazy market keeps up, and will have likely spent zero on repairs other than wear items like tires and wiper…

Hmm, this concept of offering what someone deserves instead of what they requested intrigues me. If he rejects a Lexus because it’s just a fancy Toyota and he can’t stand the idea of his family and their au pair sitting in something that close to being common, then I would fully agree that he deserves something that…

Prestige brand SUV and Jersey already has me in snark mode. My personal recommendation would be the nicest possible Mazda5 but that’s neither prestige nor SUV. More seriously a used Lexus RX is the best balance of badge “luxury” and running costs. Or possibly an equivalent Acura. Either one gives you some fanciness…

“I’ve flown plenty of times with my kids since they were newborns. They always have been great.”

Hard to blame them, little kids on planes....

We’ve come such a long way as a society when immediately apologists for the capitalists come out in droves to defend lower ranks getting pink slips.

840 is a rather specific number. Six percent can’t still equal 840 after they already let 6% go. (I know, I’m quibbling.)

I thought the same thing until I bought a cheap (Walmart) battery ratchet when I did the valve rockers on a 3.6L Pentastar. I kept seeing them being used in the how-to YouTube videos, and at first I thought it was just mechanic flexing. But then I used it.

At least give a link to McMansion Hell....  come on.

Tesla could be about to tank terminally, which raises the question of just what do you do with your highly software dependant, subscription driven, car when the parent company ceases to be? Thinking of buying a Tesla, think about what happens when it is no longer supported and counting the days until it bricks itself…

Life isn’t long enough to waste 1/6th of every day driving to or from work.

Similar to the new Prius, this looks way better to me than I think it should.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING, beats a Yann dog.

In Wisconsin, a first offense DWI is treated as a simple traffic ticket, with no arrest.

Hasn’t F1 always been primarily catered to the rich?

Seems like a great car and all but at a $55k starting price you can just get a lot more from other EV’s than from this. This seems like it should be the Ford Maverick of EV’s -- simple, functional, clever little nooks and crannies, and cheap. And it seems like VW just whiffed on that last part.

the carvana shit is madness, like how do they miss the point so utterly completely?

Illinois: Hey you need to process the Title transfers in a timely manner.

For real! About time they stop selling these, they are literally everywhere you look. I probably see more of these in a day than Ford Focus anymore. It wouldn’t be so bad if they changed the styling once in a while, but I would feel like the biggest sucker plunking down new money for a 20 year old car today.

Well, now we know what the next GOP talking point is going to be:
