I travel for work lots and have a few accounts with states I frequent. I got a ticket by plate last year for a bridge in a Mid-Atlantic state. They gave me a hard time about dismissing the charge because I had twice in the past about incorrect tolls. I produced a statement from another state that had my car at 4 toll…

I went looking at a replacement for my aging Prius in late 2019. I was looking for a Volt since I’ve moved closer to work and no longer live in a house with a 60 year old electric system. Chargers at work also were a bonus. The Volt prices were mostly around $25K and many had been used as ride share cars. Most I…

Yeah. Check nearly every option box on a Sahara 4xe and that’s what you get. The plastic everywhere (IMHO) is expected for a vehicle that you can literally strip down to the same level as a VW Thing. My girlfriend did opt for leather seats, steering wheel and shifter covers, so the touch points are OK. Her's replaced…

Yep. My SO bought a 2021 Wrangler 4xe Sahara for $58K. I'd imagine she probably could sell it and not take a loss. Made more sense than any used Wrangler.

I came here to say base model Dodge Journey. The Note works just as well.

Used Wranglers are even more stupid.

The salesman at the time told me that he couldn't trade cars to Tennessee because it was in a different zone or something. Then he started pressuring me to buy cars he had on the lot.

Obviously, that makes sense. /S

I can't believe how true that is even in 2021.

I started to angle for a kegerator in the laundry room...

Most hatchbacks are going to the sloped rear glass. This one at least appears to have rear seat headroom.

I like the angles. It's like someone from Giugiaro hacked into their 3D model file and added some character lines.

I'd imagine it's easier to aim 1 headlight assembly than 2. But that makes the aiming less flexible.

Also, for comparison, I recently help my SO order a new Wrangler. The order was $58K OTD. The 1st dealer was trying to “get me into” a $62K model by knocking $800 off the sticker. Most of the “upgrades” that were on the more expensive in stock Jeep were a no-go. One of which was a bigger tire and lift package that…

Some people go in and buy cars on the lot from necessity. They need a car now (accident or costly repair to their old car for instance). I figured out a number of years ago that if I was going to spend lots of money on a car, I was going to get exactly what I want.

Ordered a Wrangler in January for this exact reason. There’s a Jeep dealer 3 miles from my house. I went there twice to order one and they just wanted to sell me what they had. I ended up calling around and ordered from a dealer about an hour away. There are 4 Jeep dealers closer. I gave them all a chance. 

And to add to this, why do Toyota dealers split the country into zones? A few years ago, I was looking for a Toyota in a specific color and with certain options. In North Georgia the dealer said he couldn’t find what I wanted. I found one 150 miles away in Tennessee. The Georgia dealer said they couldn’t swap cars…

I had never seen a Supra at a local dealer then travelled to Pennsylvania and there were 7 in the front on display and 1 more inside.

Sightlines are key! I occasionally drive a few work vehicles. Two of which are box trucks. One is on a van platform, the other a truck platform. The van is so much easier to drive based on sightlines. If only there were a way to put the engine somewhere else, like underneath the van. Like an electric motor with…

I’ve been wondering how all these huge pickup grills are more dangerous than Lotus Esprit pop-up headlights. And while I’m on my soap box, why doesn’t the new Lightning have a lower nose to aid in visibility? How much frunk space does one need if one has a 6' bed?
