Or you can get screwed over by your dealer when you buy a ‘demo’ vehicle. I bought a demo Jeep with 5k miles on the clock and was promised that the 3yr/36k mile warranty would start from the day I bought it. Because the vehicle is ‘untitled’ while being demo’d. I swear I had a piece of paper stating when the warranty…

Oh I know, but still Spartan compared to the Golf R.

I had no idea the production numbers for the R63 were so low. The faculty advisor for our college car club had one as his family car.

I’m guessing you mean the restyled SRT-8 in 2012?

The max price on one of those back then was maybe $75k with every possible option. If you put $10k down on that with a 0% interest rate for 5 years and no taxes, you’re still paying $1100/mo.

Maybe the dude walked away grumbling because your math was so wrong?

If I had a bit of extra cash laying around, I’d be ordering one right now. My wife has a super low mileage Accord that’s paid off and we only have two parking spaces. I want an SUV and a sports car, but can’t have both. An SRT Jeep would tickle my fancy just fine, but an SRT Jeep with 700hp is just icing on the cake.

W…

It’s not the HP number that matter, it’s the feel and the acceleration times. The BRZ is just dogshit slow. Have you driven a turbo inline-six BMW in the last decade? My E90 335i was surprisingly fast, plenty of power for the road. My friend has owned 4-5 turbo BMWs in the last 10 years and says the B58 in his 340i…

My mom is looking for a new car, so I’ve traded her my Grand Cherokee for the week so she can see how she likes driving something that size. In return, I get her manual E90 335i. Despite the fact that it seems to have a nasty misfire at higher boost levels, the car is an absolute blast to drive with ‘only’ 300 stock…

I don’t really geek out about it, but I get a lot of questions when I tell people I make explosives for a living. My wife loves to tell people and get their reaction, then I have to do a 20 minute schpeal explaining my job while she walks away laughing.

Check out any mustang from 94-04. Two cupholders in line just behind the shifter. As in, the exact space your forearm occupies when you are operating said manual shifter. Absolutely worthless for anything taller than a cell phone.

I bought this exact car back in 2010 or so. It had 70k miles and was clean as a whistle other than the fact that it was basically sitting on the ground on blown out Skunk2 coilovers. Bought it for $7k cash and replaced the suspension with koni’s and ground control coilovers. Best DD ever and I was an idiot and sold it…

The real victim here is the poor WJ, which probably suffered through the same neglect as that tire.

No, you buy this when you’re like me and you don’t have room for a DD SUV and a sports car. Well actually, I wouldn’t buy this because I don’t have 20 kids. I’d be all over an SRT Jeep, maybe a used X5M if the price came down enough. But then again, I don’t have $70k.

It is most certainly that bad. Hard plastic for miles. My 2012 had loud creaks in the interior after less than a year and 20k miles.

It’s a delicate balance in my workplace. I work at a desk in an office like 50-60% of the time. I drive all over base to other offices and labs to interact with other people, some in a bit more professional settings. Our dress code is pretty laid back and I usually wear jeans and a polo.

The other 40-50% of my job…

Good luck staying warm when you’re dead.

Seriously? Yes, this happens. There are multiple douches in an apartment complex across the street from me with insanely, terribly loud Subarus, and they do not hesitate to rev them to the moon whenever possible. Another guy that used to come around with straight pipe exhaust on his 4th gen Firebird at all hours of…

I agree, I thought through that scenario as well. So yeah, that’s what it should do theoretically. And we’ve seen videos of it making similar evasive maneuvers, but never at that speed differential with another car.

Doesn’t help that the title is crazy misleading. I was expecting to watch a video where the Tesla is alone on an open road and autopilot randomly swerves to drive off a bridge, but the driver grabs the wheel just in time. Not a vid showing some idiot in another car swerving in front of a Tesla at the very last…

I’m not saying I can’t turn around and see stuff. But when you keep raising the beltline of said sports car and making it a larger vehicle, it gets tougher to see out of. I have to parallel park all the time and it’s really convenient to have a camera and F/R parking sensors. Now I can fit my Jeep into basically…

What’s a small camera cost these days, $30? And I’m sorry, but a backup camera should be standard on any car in over $20k by now.
