Why would it be illegal? The phone in your pocket has far higher quality surveillance capabilities than any 34 y.o. tech in this van! $15K?!? drop the “K” and that is about how much a 4:3 CRT, VHS, and first gen CD-ROM are worth.

Oh look, another vaguely-outdoorsy family CUV. It’s like an overweight dad with a scruffy beard who wears North Face jackets and Merrells but never goes outside.

...And I just described myself, so that’s probably why I want this.

No need to reinvent the wheel on the doorstep of electrification.

I very much miss the signature "dual cowl" dashboard. This isn't bad, but it's absolutely soul-less 

$1.2m isn’t nearly as much as you think it is when it comes to bringing in an entirely new type of vehicle sales and support infrastructure. Toyota dealers had to spend nearly that much to make separate Scion “dealerships”.  Ford wants to compete with the new generation of car companies that offer a much better dealer…

Yes, keep the people that like cruises on the cruise ships.

Kia Stinger is the easy answer here

I mean, the detail that if the aftermarket part or non-manufacturer backed service causes the problem it negates the warranty if the issue is related to that repair is right in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. In other words if you put on an aftermarket oil filter found to be defective and you have an oil related…

Clicks don’t generate themselves, you know.

When I found out that god has a twisted sense of humor and blessed my family with a second set of twins, I demanded that we buy something more interesting and fun than a minivan. Friend, do you know how awful the gas mileage is on an Ecoboost Flex? Astonishingly bad. This is a viable SUV for people with kids that…

I’d actually call this NP if it were manual, if only because $4,500 is “fuck it” money in today’s market. As dumb as this is, it doesn’t look like it’s literally falling apart, and is still probably is fun to drive. I had happily run this around to cars and coffees all summer, laughing at my own stupidity all the way.

If the transmission weren’t trash you could just debadge it (and maybe get some less garish wheels) and have some fun (after negotiating the price down a bit more). But as it is, it’s so bad.

Honestly, considering good examples of this gen MR2 are going for $12-20k I think this is a good deal and personally, I think this kit looks legit! It needs lowered like 1.5 inches though. The SMT in these was always garbage. Manual swap it for $1500 and you are good to go! Or better yet, toss a 2ZZ in there with the…

I’m on Oahu [in states now visiting kids/grand/greatgrand etc...]. Not too bad to ship back from the Big Island for me - tow ship ~$800. $1500 parts and labor for the transmission. Remove phoney decals. Recover driver seat. Say $750 for that. An automatic on Oahu is fine - choking traffic if you’re involved in…

With a name like BikeBandit, gotta give them credit for truth in advertising.

Of the three copies that Ducati Richmond delivered, the first one went to a customer who lived in the Beltway area of MD.  Who picked the bike up and rode it home.  In a driving rainstorm.  There were 5-6 people in the shop who’d stopped by to look at the bike before it left, and their jaws were on the floor when they…

I really like the Stinger. It’s got presence. Hatchback for a bit more room. Handles well from all reports.

I owned one. It was a nice display piece for your living room and was a remarkably terrible motorcycle if you actually rode it; thankfully most owners didn’t. The unique, unobtanium instrument cluster craps out, those long, sexy, entirely unsupported mufflers crack at the welds and break off, so does the fancy tag X…

Hopefully Charles engine isn’t a write-off, because he will eventually get a big grid drop penalty in the future once they get through their PU allocation.
