I think the more interesting question is who has made the least shit cars. Every brand has hit at least a few out of the park, but consistent quality is a tough record to hold up. Honda and Toyota are the obvious standouts. 

Fun fact: If you tell them you drive a 1994 Nissan 300ZX they just hang up on you. 

I don’t know how much it costs to manual swap an NSX but I’m guessing it would be a very good investment for this owner. 

About 5 years ago, IS300 Sportcross with reasonably low miles. I went to the used car lot to check it out. Used car dealers here in South Florida are a sketchy bunch and this was no exception. I had called ahead but still the Sportcross was at the back of the lot blocked in by other cars. I poked around and asked…

For this to truly be the heir to the Land Cruiser it will need to have bulletproof reliability. Time will tell on that one. 

My first car! Same colors as this pic too, all it needs is a Nine Inch Nails sticker on the back. These were severely underrated, if I could find a really nice one I would absolutely but it.

I cancelled it a while ago but will probably pick it up for a month once the full season is out.

Backup cameras can also be obscured by rain and dirt. 

Unless they are also ending new EV sales and only allowing leases this is clearly bullshit. 

I use the washer function to clear dust/dirt off the rear window, that’s about it. 

I find the rear wiper MORE useful in cars with a raked rear window. On the rare occasions my 3ooZX gets left out in the rain the rear glass is covered with water, impeding rear visibility when I need to back out of a parking space. This is not a problem with the completely vertical rear window of my 4Runner. 

The main complaint I’ve heard about Australians when they come to the US is that they completely refuse to tip. They try to play it off on the lack of tipping culture here, but if you’ve read any guidebook or have even the basest knowledge of the US you know it’s expected here, and stiffing the wait staff makes you a…

LOL actually the strangest example was with my ex GF in Morocco. Definitively the exception to the rule though, we found most Moroccans very friendly and welcoming.

I think it doesn’t matter whether it’s a big or small landlord, some are ethical and some are shitty. That’s true of all businesses but when the service they’re providing is the roof over your head it’s much more impactful than if, for example, the restaurant you’re eating at has bad customer service.

It’s only happened a few times and struck me as very odd considering the conventional wisdom that greeting someone in their native language is the polite thing to do.

I bought my first house 10 years ago, and had to relocate due to a layoff 7 years ago. It did not make financial sense to sell the home after 3 years so I rented it out. I have had the same tenants the entire time and have promptly addressed all of their maintenance concerns. I have raised rent to offset my own rising…

The language thing can be tricky, I’ve occasionally had people scoff and respond with “I speak English” when I tried to greet them in the local tongue.

(Takes fellow FL Man aside) Dude if you keep saying that on the internet they will keep moving here!

This is the correct choice for sure. My father has a 2014 and hasn’t had any major issues other than the ones he caused by driving into stationary objects. 

As a South Florida resident I feel I should clarify that there is nowhere down here where you are legally allowed to drive on the sand, so don’t buy a Jeep thinking that off road capability will be useful. Ground clearance can be helpful when all the roads are flooded though. Also it is usually 90 degrees in the shade…
