Hundreds is an exaggeration. The solution is simple - learn to control your car and don’t load your keyring with superfluous shit.

Its Tesla; load it with a bunch of unnecessary gee-whiz shit and hope half of it works over the course of a year.

In GM’s case, many of the plaintiffs are greedy POSs. Intoxicated motorists or people engaging in deliberately-reckless action. Not all, not even most, but enough to taint the bunch.

Its funny you think that...It really is...

“I don’t like the name Outback because I’m a picky moron who wants Bluetooth and an integrated dash cam that doesn’t exist but NOT cruise control.”

Short answer: Ford Flex SE or Explorer base.

You’re arguing that people using the phrase, “Bad part of town” is inherently racist or carries racist undertones.

Link to a local article for better context than a national source:

Hipsters are all about locally-produced products unless its automobiles, food, wine, electronics...but that bullshit ‘upcycled’ floorlamp? Woo!

Again, real world, ask people who own and tow frequently with minivans versus large SUVs and trucks with perimeter frames and appropriate tow packages.

What would YOU prefer an area of a city where there is a confluence of high crime rate, increased police activity, high frequency of unsavory activity, depressed property value, lack of general upkeep of community structures, general blight, a dense concentration of abandoned structures be called...the not so good…

Depends what city or town that ‘bad part of’ is in.

Heart’s in the right place, but its smarter AND CHEAPER long-term to just take up funds to buy a comperable NA Miata and recondition THAT car to be new.

I’d like to see that Quest’s transmission after doing that routinely for 60k miles.

Its racist that there in the Southwest there exists an abnormally high vehicle rate of theft for certain cars that are stolen and subsequently smuggled across the US/Mexico border?

You are wrong; they’re not being stolen and driven to Alberta. Fullsize SUVs and 3/4-ton pickups have a high theft rate and are routinely taken across the border to Mexico.There is a high demand for these types of vehicles in Mexico and Latin America. These are facts whether you like them or not.

As a resident of a relatively normal part of Florida (West Central), good riddance.

Who honestly thought BMW was a luxury car in the first place?

The car has become BHPH fodder for the ill-informed. I see them occasionally at the sale and you always get the same group of West African or Affliction-shirt-clad 25 year old gym rat whose uncle has a dealer’s license with big ideas about what an easy flip a car like this must be. Dash lit up like a Christmas tree,…

That 760Li brought exactly what it should, assuming it had just under 100k miles - which it probably did. MMR is $8300-$9200. Junk, regardless of ‘livery.’
