Yeah, don’t buy a Leaf is good advice. I have a Plug-in Prius and I charge it almost every day and use up the electric range. I’m at 140k and currently getting the most range out of electric that I’ve had in the 90k miles I’ve owned it.

Department has seen an increase in drivers fleeing in the past 5 years

I financed my last car at a store where I'm friends with the used car manager even though I had the cash and he told me it didn’t matter to them if I paid it off the next day. I held on to it for a bit because the money was making more interest in a savings account, but paid it off about 6 months later.

That probably has to do with what they’re trying to sell. In my experience it’s usually spot-on for something like an LE or SE Camry, but it will undervalue something like an every-option XLE and overprice a base manual 4-cylinder.

My parents need a new car and they’re looking at plug-in hybrids. We were shopping used cars but the values were pretty high. We decided to get some quotes on new cars and figured out they’d be saving a few thousand dollars after the federal tax rebate by going new. It’s amazing that the dealers seem desperate to sell…

Important for the driver, but Musk says they only removed it for the passenger seat. I can’t recall ever using lumbar as a passenger.

When I worked at a Toyota dealership a few years ago we could order cars, but Toyota would determine what’s getting built. If the configuration we ordered wasn’t something that fit into what Toyota was making, then it wouldn’t get built. If they were making that particular option package but it was destined for…

Were you trying to buy a Prius Plug-in? They were not available in PA due to a combination of state and Toyota rules. I went to NJ to buy mine.

Yeah, that sounds like my area too. Make an offer well above asking price before anyone gets a chance to tour the house.

For a long time I was getting ads for CPO Ferraris. I mean, I’m into cars, but they definitely had the wrong guy.

Yeah.

I walked past a row of these at a local Hyundai dealership and saw a few crooked badges. As you mentioned these should go in a template and go on perfectly every time. I think whoever is handling the badging is having some issues.

I live in a neighborhood like that, have had a bobcat around, and have a few armed neighbors. I would definitely be alarmed if a bobcat was attacking humans, but not alarmed if a neighbor pulled out a gun to shoot it.

Looks like he had pretty good control of the gun to me. He pulled it out, killed the animal and didn’t hurt anyone else. Sounds like he did exactly what he intended to do. I live in a similar neighborhood and I’ve seen a bobcat around here. I think I’d be pretty freaked out by a bobcat attacking humans, but not by a…

I replaced the heater core in my S10 a couple of years ago. When I put it back together the dash, stereo and HVAC had no power. I took it for a ride around the neighborhood and it felt great. Went to park it in my garage and the brake pedal went to the floor due to a split brake line. It’s been sitting ever since. New…

This is it. I work at dealerships and people who park and pull out cars all day back in probably 90% of the time. You have more awareness of your surroundings pulling in and this method minimizes parking lot accidents. It’s still not 100% though, because it’s still situational. I back in when I can, but there are…

They’re all fun. You should try driving them.

A Miata? What, are you going to hit them over the head with it?

They’re going to stop buying gas vehicles within 10 years, but not entirely getting rid of them. By the late 2020's they should only be buying a handful of gas vehicles that will be planned to be used up by 2040. So overall anything they’re buying now might still be around for almost 20 years.

The 'editing' is pretty pathetic around here. You expect them to actually read what they're writing before they post it?
