Thank you for the laugh

My wife and I lived in Seward for a year (after doing seasons elsewhere in Alaska) and fell in love with this drive—at its best in the summer, and its worst in the winter. It’s a shame most people have to choose a 4x4 or AWD car over a “driver’s car,” because this road is fun, fun, fun, and pretty as hell.

Here to second your condemnation of Gary, IN. Do not get off the highway in Indiana near Chicago if you don’t know exactly where you’re going...

Is it still a piece of shit that’s actually really pretty but I’m not going to buy one because it seems they all break down or kill people?

I’m in Los Angeles, and just purchased an ‘08 Mazda 3i for around $4k and it hits pretty much all of your requirements. They’re fairly abundant in the area, but I found the i/2.0L models (as opposed to the s with the 2.3L) to be owned by more responsible sellers and less beat on, with less miles. Still plenty of…

Why have they not partnered with Power Wheels yet? They already built half the inventory, here.

This Italian Corvette is puuuurrdy.

This is an awesome bit of PR. Amazon has a wonderful sense of humor.

Right? The issue here is the guy didn’t even take the man’s credit card or ID to hold onto—and he agreed to a multi-day test drive! The thief could keep it for a month, return it, and just say he was test driving it the whole time!

My head’s going to really fucking spin when they announce the truck bed topper

I was thinking that too... Isn’t he just saying “It is, and it isn’t” in so many words?

I think it’s more accurately attributed to dealerships with outdated staffing, i.e. no team managing online communications, be it quotes, social media feedback, advertising, etc.

So, these were about $54k brand new (about $70k in today’s dollars). This couple is asking $40,000 in today’s dollars. Really sad that the guy experienced health problems before this investment panned out, because he would have been better off doing fuck all with that money back in 2003!

I see. Decent solution, although you’re still betting your neck on that pipe not moving even a bit—I could see an accidental nudge to the car jiggling the pipe out of place and causing the hatch to fall. Not sure I trust this more than when I used to use vice grips to hold my trunk open.

Sounds crafty... but I need a visual.

It’s hideous. Have they never seen a Range Rover, even a Honda Ridgeline? I’m baffled as to why more people aren’t completely thrown off by their design direction on this.

Bought a Prius, made bad financing choices, now underwater and stuck paying it off for the next 2.5-3 years. How did we make the best of it? Took that fucker to the ends of the Earth—well, the AlCan highway up from Phoenix and Back to L.A., all around AZ, CA, and AK, and beyond. Get as much joy out of great MPGs and…

Do you happen to drive a BMW 745, white on white?

Shit, you’re totally right.The Targa is the way to go.
