No matter which way you look at it, the R8, despite being a cool car, is nearing 10 years old, making it one of the oldest supercars currently on the market. You can keep putting new faces on it and updating the engine, but it’s still the R8. The Gallardo has been replaced already, for crying out loud. Fresh R8…

Having twice been divorced myself, keep the Mini. At least for a while. Your life is currently upside down, don’t risk getting a car loan that could make your finances upside down too. That is, unless the Mini is already upside down, in which case, ditch it and forget the $20-$25k budget. Go used, go cheap, save your…

Nailed it.

All of your criteria are wrong. You’re a recent divorcee, aren’t you automatically issued a motorbike?

THE single most perfect car for the Bros Before Hoes crowd of recent divorcees

+1. Making things “affordable” is what is making them expensive.

People want to be debt serfs. They bid everything up to the limit to which they can borrow. They demand new regulations that increase the cost basis because isn’t it worth a extra $10 a month to be “safer”? Also we live in a short time preference society. People want stuff now, not later.

I remember before Uber when you would stand on the sidewalk or call a cab company and they would immediately come! No 30 minute+ wait! Before Uber I never stood on the sidewalk in a storm trying to get a cab home. Uber is so racist but the Taxi companies would pick you up no matter what race or if you were disabled. I…

Uber may have its faults but never once has the driver:

“Uber’s coup de grâce is simply proof that the company has fucked over a lot of people since its doomed inception, eight years ago. I’m not happy the company is finally getting its just deserts. I’m honestly as pissed as ever that Uber even exists...”

boycott, verb: To abstain, either as an individual or a group, from using, buying, or dealing with someone or some organization as an expression of protest.

Well, if Uber falls at least there’s Lyft. I don’t care what anyone says: ride sharing has been a total godsend over the past few years for those of us who live in cities and don’t have cars. It needs to exist. Hopefully future companies will learn from Uber’s mistakes and improve upon the experience.

Uber sucks, its true, but the taxi industry needs to be trampled, as you put it. I have NEVER, EVER, taken an officially sanctioned cab and not been ripped off by “broken” meters or card readers, feared for my life due to reckless driving, or both. I have taken dozens of cab rides in several cities and this is every…

Can we stop using the price of an individual share of a company’s stock as a reference for anything? It’s completely meaningless, and using it as a metric for comparison shows a tremendous amount of ignorance and makes any other point you try to establish extremely questionable.

Could you imagine picking up an educated (shallow) woman for a first date in this thing?

Haven’t nearly all cars done well in this test (35mph full width impact) for several decades? IIHS testing is much more difficult with only 25% of the vehicle impacting the barrier - really, who crashes into a smooth wall at a perfect right angle? - at a higher speed to boot.

Not for Mazda and its former PR rep extraordinaire, Bev:

Even if that would work and pass regulations, it’s simply idiotic.

Wow, they put the F1 engine in a Civic!

You certainly could have a great debate regarding the pros and cons of tax incentives to buy an EV car, but to make EV car buyer pay a tax for gas they aren’t using? That’s a bunch of BS.
