What are the chances the Elmo has fired his former employees who would do the suing? Also the employees who would hear his appeal? The new sucker owner should take that chance and sell it. He’s already taking a huge bath on the separation/divorce, just go for it.

I’m in “Eat the Rich” mood lately. Frankly my dear, I’d rather have yesterday’s Maxima wagon. I could repaint or wrap that, get in an out not needing a chiropractor, and move men and materials. No Dice.

The 2011 Sonata styling blew away the Honda and Lexota slab sided blah mobiles. The Sonata might have been a little over the top but it really made an impact. 

Bucking the trend, I say Nice Price. Just think of it as patina. People, not me , pay good money for rusted junk. This is art. Add to it as you like!

What’s JDM about this car? It’s a mildly warm US model with some damage history. Nice of him to include the seats though (what? no seats? original ones! red seats only available on a subscription basis!)

SUPERMAN???? PFFFFTT!

Mentioned below, dry sump lubrication. Many supercar / performance cars have it. Also allows lower positioning of the engine, no need for the oil reservoir to be hanging off the bottom.

Lots of cars have variable ratio steering. Speed sensitive as well. 

Toyota, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes, Nissan... are all domestic automakers. Stellantis on the other hand, is, sort of.

The debris problem is also what plagues/plagued KIA and Hyundai engines. In the Korean case, oil passages would get blocked. Toyota’s are exhibiting spun main bearings (ends up blocking the oil passages in the bearings - crankshaft and bearing material begin to weld themselves together. Deeper technical explanations…

Mark Cross interior (no rich Corinthian leather for me? - Khan), Cartier crystal, maintenance records out the wazoo; sign me up. Okay, not really. I’m a geezer who grew up around cars through out the 60s, 70s, 80s. These were dark days (excepting the muscle car era). I have no attachment to these examples no matter…

“His politics publicly shifted in May 2022, when he tweeted he would vote Republican because Democrats had “become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them.”

Soon paint will be on a subscription basis.

Just click the “Accept neural implant” box and you’ll be able to open the doors with just your mind.... On a subscription of course.

Just NO. It’s the price thingy. Nice car, delusional asking price, “Honey, I tried.”

I’d go with a KIA lease. Battery tech is changing fast, same with chargers and access to them. The KIA/Hyundai cars are less daunting coming from a “normal” car; still plenty of tech but the controls are similar enough that you don’t have to study a plethora of screens or read a 300 page owners manual. If it’s not…

Wife and I do road trips in ours (Ioniq 5). Not the empty hell-hole of chargers you imagine. I can already see improvements month to month. Of course we’re geezers who like to get out of the car every 2-1/2 hours and walk around a bit during the 15-20 minute charge. Young whippersnappers who stop only for gas and to…

It goes negative in some markets (California and Germany) during daylight periods now. The “next big thing” is storage. Battery composition is rapidly advancing (you don’t need Li-ion chemistry for storage).

The Lariat trim and that mileage, looks like around $22k is the top for aspirational dealer listings. A collector (you don’t know him; he’s from Canada; went to a different school) might pop for $25k or a bit more. So not OUTRAGEOUS, but not for me. ND

I'm fantasizing that the low miles mean it wasn't driven in the snow/salt that covers Rochester in the 6 months of winter. I'm also delusional in believing Mazda actually had rustproofing in these early days. So take my imaginary internet bucks- NP
