Being a big shooter fan, I convinced myself that I might actually like it. I played it for a few days. I was never able to progress past “wander around for a painfully long time, and randomly die from a couple well placed bullets”. And when I was able to find someone to shoot, I would rain a hail of bullets at them…

Sounds like Sears’ problem is that they don’t know they have a problem. I can’t even remember the last time I went to Sears, and have basically no intentions on going in to one any time soon either.

First gear: Holy crap I just left a comment on a page yesterday (on the Daily Shift about Ford losing to FCA) saying almost exactly that. I work construction and have been looking at a pickup to replace my aging LR3 but can’t find anything reasonably priced with under 100k miles on it. The difference between a new and…

YES! We have a new FoST and the passenger knee-room is obnoxious because of the weirdly shaped center console.

This just in: not everyone needs or can afford $40k+ luxobarge trucks!

That seems like a big bill for a lot of fairly easy work.....but maybe that’s just me? Like, transmission blows and you need a new one for $3000? Ok, that’s serious. A few maintenance items that are doable at home isn’t cause to replace a car. I’ve done a ton of work to my LR3 to fix minor (mostly electrical) issues…

Nissan SHOULD HAVE brought this to the USA. They basically even admitted as much. Competition for the Wrangler and 4Runner? Yes please and thank you.

Unfortunately this is a top-down issue from Nissan. I worked at a dealership for many years selling vehicles for them, and they really struggled with making a competitive product on time. The Titan was a couple years behind the F-150 when it finally came out. Frontier keeps getting pushed back (if they’re even…

If I remember right from my time selling cars, anything with less than 1500 miles was considered “new” here in Colorado. I would take a Titan Cummins single cab or NV high-top around for a few weeks, put 1000 miles on it, put Nissan’s Fleet Demo rebate on it and roll it out “new” but cheap to one of my big accounts.…

So here’s an interesting question: Why not integrate them somewhere that’s less likely to get damaged? I think a roof rail would be a great spot for a camera like this, would probably give a better view of the road, would look better, and would be less likely to get scraped off in a minor fender bender. Traditional…

I doubt strongly that Ford totally divests itself of sedans in the USA. Sounds a little more like a marketing ploy where they’re killing off their current models to make way for some new ones that they have been planning on dropping anyway (Fusion and Focus off-roadish hatchbacks).

I love the LR3 as well, mine has just short of 200k on it and it’s been the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Plus it has all the interior features I would ever need.

Too much grill just for grill’s sake. I’m not a huge fan of the “gaping maw” front end treatment that everything gets anymore, especially when you just know that maybe 25% of that will actually be dedicated to airflow/cooling/aerodynamic usefulness.

I visited Stranahan’s distillery here in Denver and now I’m hooked. It’s about $55 a bottle but it’s worth it. Pretty complex flavor and high proof without the burn. My other go-to’s are Tin Cup (inexpensive cousin of Stranahans) and Leadslingers whiskey (mid range cost and more of a bite).

Subaru’s seem to especially have this issue. It seems in this area that almost EVERY used Crosstrek is about $20-22k regardless of year and mileage. The MSRP on the dang things are only like $23k! It’s insanity.

People: *begging for government to impose strict gas mileage rules*

I think the great thing about the GT-R is that it still manages to be in the upper echelon of cars DESPITE essentially being a giant touring coupe. They’re gigantic and look way too tall to believably compete with $200k supercars, but they do. That being said, would it kill Nissan to release an R36? The money is out…

But where that analogy ends is that cars vary widely in condition, desirability, color, options and features. I was saying that people don’t negotiate on Subway despite each sandwich only costing $1.50 to make for a $6 sub. They understand that the franchisee is entitled to make some money for providing a service.
