Tell that to the 800C brakes. Bet that wheel and nut are already pretty hot coming into the pits anyways.

Wife has a 2018, that thing handles and feels better than all other non-luxury sedans. Mazda really nails vehicle dynamics like no other manufacturer. Glad we bought when we did!

Ayooo congrats on making the big time. Too bad the History Channel is just a shadow of what it once was. Modern Marvels and legit good history is now just non stop American Pickers, Ancient Aliens, and Forged in Fire. All garbage - almost as bad as the Discovery Channel’s demise into shitty reality tv.

Should jobs be saved just for the sake of saving them? That’s what this union is talking about. Should lamp lighters still exist when there are electric streetlights?

My last few experiences went a bit different. After greeting them in weak french, they always switched to English. Even if I kept talking in French to practice, they would still just use English to stop me from butchering their language. What’s the point of even knowing enough French to get around if the people don’t…

Finally! Thought we would never see the end of the slideshow era!

3rd gen 4Runner, 320k and excellent compression.

I’ve love to meet the people who are cross shopping this Kia at $80k with a Cayenne, Merc GLS, Tahoe/Yukon, Audi SQ7, Land Cruiser, etc.

So uhh, what happens to the trailer after it has detached?

RS6 is the easy choice, but I think the real answer to this “one car fits all” question is always 2 cars, especially with that budget. I’m assuming there is parking room because they already own 2 cars.

Telling a salesperson that you’re short on time and need a car now is just asking to get bent over. No one NEEDS a new car. If you’re after a newish car and still want a warranty, just go CPO. Only downside is that in today’s market maybe a brand new car isn’t that much more expensive.

As someone with two 25+ year old vehicles....this is a bit alarming.

COTD

That’s because those who already own there actively work to keep the supply small, maintaining their property values. San Fran is a great example of this.

Egypt, right now.

It’s easier to sell more expensive shit because the target demographic is the 1%. They make enough to have a relative shitload of disposable income. I think that’s why we’re seeing in increase in luxury vehicles, apartment complexes, mcmansions. They might cost double to build, but have a huge profit margin. You just…

They can have fun with whatever data my 25 year old Toyota and 28 year old Mazda are spitting out.

Haven’t checked Turo rates lately, which are normally all over the place, but I bet their prices have increased as well.

I just had to book a single day, 200 mile one-way rental and was seeing rates of $300+! Flying was about $175. Luckily my corporate CDP brought it down to a reasonable $46. Crazy stuff.

If it’s a state thing, then manufacturers have to meet potentially very different requirements for different states. The software development and vehicle testing per state would be an absolute mess - even if you did manage to have state specific software, then the car would have to change its configuration every time…
