Who cares? People have sold dumber shit on BaT over the years. For all the jerking off you idiots do about manual transmissions you’d think there’d be a line around the block for buying some garbage like this.

The auction site itself focuses primarily on enthusiast vehicles. That much is established. But also what this post fails to capture is enthusiasts can and will want cars that make logical sense to own as workhorses, and this captures the essence of an enthusiast’s daily car. Think about it: four-wheel-drive, 5-speed…

Your take is bad. This is tremendously cool, and these cars get extra cool points because people use the drivetrains from them to build AWD drag Civics.

Ok, but it is a low-mile, not-rusted (read: CLEAN OLD SCHOOL JDM) that looks to be maintained, with a rare-to-find manual transmission. This had to have been the last CR-V generation with 3 pedals. So...It’s probably deserving of whatever bidding price it’s currently sitting on. If I really wanted one of these, I can…

I also think that going forward pretty much their entire lineup will be hybrid only or hybrid available. The new Tacoma, Land Cruser and coming 4Runner will all be hybrid to some extent, new Camry is Hybrid only, same with Crown Signia (but that is replacing the Venza so a wash).

In general, Toyota might be doing the most work to hybrid-ify their entire lineup (minimal gains from the Tundra hybrid aside). Hybrid RAV4's and Siennas might not be as exciting as a bold, new EV future, but they’re efficient cars people are lining up to buy.

I feel like the only thing we need less right now than a Richard Simmons biopic is a Pauly Shore comeback. 

While I much preferred it at a point in the year where I may or may not be able to wear shorts (2023 I could, 2022 I could not) and not have to worry about a blizzard...there’s something about it being in January (sentimentality, likely) that just seems right.

Yeah, but one thing that is being left out. How much, if any, of an increase is that from baseline?

Our country requires both automobiles and a job to survive; cars are exceedingly expensive and many people have to take loans out for even small amounts to cover it.

Covering basic needs isn’t a first world problem, its just twisted because capitalism without restraint ain’t the answer.

Here come all the, poor people should not get college degrees, leave all the positions of power that need college degrees to the wealthy comments, combined with only but a car if you pay cash and do all the work on it yourself to get it running even if you do not have the skills or space comments. I managed for…

Recommending a 80K mile ex-rental as a responsible purchase has to be one of the stupidest hot takes I’ve seen here in years.

I hate scowling jeep grills and that whole mean off roader look.

I think Musk doing more ketamine would be good thing for all of us. 

I think the implication is that these people don't get discovered like that at all. These are people that have never performed a stand up set/played a concert/acted in a bunch of shitty indie movies, etc etc. They're random people that the industry has full control over in exchange for those people making the kind of…

Taylor can’t take a joke and the joke wasn’t funny too.

It has the potential to be funny, but that is some of the most ineffective delivery of a joke I’ve ever heard. It felt like he was giving up on it halfway through.

It feels like there’s some confusion over the nature of the comments. Williams isn’t saying that Hart doesn’t deserve his fame or whatever, his point is that Hart *as a standup* got to his current position *as a standup* because of work he did *as an actor*. His complaint is that Kevin Hart didn’t do the standup comic…

Michigan being number 1 is absolutely not surprising. I spent 3 years there (including 3 winters) and what a learned was:
