Thankfully, Cadillac dealers seem to have hipped to the sitch faster where I live. Even last year when supplies were tighter, I ended up getting an XT4 below sticker and no dealer add-ons (and a $500 factory rebate, weirdly). Took virtually no effort to buy. 

The whole nitrogen in tires thing is really annoying, especially since the nitrogen they use is worth less than $1. (A standard 2200psi cylinder is ~230 cubic feet, and the nitrogen cost in a cylinder is like $50.)

My immediate thought was, “he will sell it quickly.” Sure enough, it’s gone. So NP.

I’m glad they only hurt themselves and not anyone else. Everything about these events epitomizes the idea of a douchebag. It’s incredibly unsafe, braggy for the point of being braggy, wholly inconsiderate of the safety and well-being of anyone else, and generally gives the vibe of “I am the coolest fucking person on…

These things are pretty bulletproof, super comfortable, and fairly easy to work on. Yeah, it’s not fast or super pretty, but it will get you where you need to go for a good long time. It’s almost guaranteed that you’ll get $6,000 worth of comfy commuting in this thing. Nice price. 

This simply isn’t true. I just put new brakes and tires on my 85k mile 2015 Mustang GT and I don’t expect to have to do much of anything other than oil changes for another 30k miles. Things aren’t what they used to be.

I had a 2002 LeSabre Custom, was one of the best cars I’ve owned. I actively searched for it, and even when the dealer tried to sell me on a cheaper car, I went with the Buick. I would gladly purchase another. I’ve been lookong for a 2003-2005 Red “Celebration Edition” Limited with the Heads Up Display to replace my…

Average mileage (pre-covid mind you, I don’t know what it is since then) for a car is about 12k. At average mileage, we’d be looking at 204k. So this averaged less than half of the average annual miles, putting it roughly in the lowest quartile of 2005s (I know median <> average but bear with me) if distributed by…

The year is 2022.
Average miles per year is 14k.

I will take the middle road here, some cars at 100,000 have a very high chance of becoming money pits at any moment, think German luxury brands. Most Hondas, Lexus, and case in point here, 90s 3.8 Buicks, and many others, if well cared for, are still reliable transportation.

If the car’s been taken care of, 100K miles is just broken in.

My wife got 200,000+ miles out of her 2005 Saturn Vue. The only issues were replacing engine mounts around 150k and an AC that had a nagging problem of not cooling that took several garages to finally identify and fix.

This isn’t a car you aspire to. This is a car you use like any handy power tool.

That line of thinking hasn’t been true since at least the 90's. 

That’s a beautifully kept car at what in today’s market is a low ask - I’d bite. And while old, not a grandma. Cops already think the white-haired lady driving a toaster couldn’t possibly have been going that fast - this one would probably get the same pass. NP all day. 

I looked on Autotrader to see what $6-7k buys these days. It’s 95% hot garbage.

I got a train/s from Essex to Chorley (not far by US standards) to drive home the cheapest road legal TVR Tuscan in the country. About 4.5 hours.

This seems like a logical step forward for the new Blazer. It was already a pretty sharp-looking crossover, if otherwise a pretty generic and unremarkable vehicle. The camaro-like styling elements made it look like it should have been a lot faster than it actually was.

The Explorer in Slide 10 is actually an Expedition.

Sorry in advance for being “That guy”

Honestly. This is exactly what I would expect to get picked up in at La Guardia for a stay at a Trump Hotel.
