My normal gripe about this report is the “most stolen cars” is really just a list of the most purchased cars because it was just a list of how many were stolen rather than the rate of theft. But now that I actually getting a list based on rate of theft, I’d now like to also see the gross numbers stolen for each model.

I’m trying to counter the pervasive idea that cruise is inherently dangerous in the rain, and somehow keeps going when you lose control, which just isn’t true. Most moderate rain it’s likely fine, and if you do get in trouble, cruise will kick off. These posts all rely on the idea that cruise control in the wet will

They made a new car just for me. Thanks for your concern, though! 

Somewhere around $125,000. Watch the vid.

Although they flew in Kitty Hawk, the Wright brothers grew up and developed their plane in Dayton, Ohio. Congress declared Ohio the birthplace back in 2003.

That’s not even the coolest option...

“One Nation Under God” is an option for an Ohio plate?

Counter-point: This is catastrophically foolish for someone who makes all of his money using his hands.  Sure, if everything always goes right, then good times. But, keep in mind that he is going to be venturing into uncharted territory a lot of the time doing those things.  I hope for his sake that he at least has

Ferrari Sexarossa. Legend as a poster on our walls, toys and video games...

This isn’t so much a dig at the Gallardo, as much as it is towards anything expensive, or $200k+. It’s all relative.

Always loved these, always wanted one. Was told it was actually an uninspiring boat to drive.

Absolutely no way. Insurance is among the oldest industries ever created. Types of insurance can become obsolete only after the activity simply isn’t carried out anymore. The cockfighting insurers probably have fallen on hard times lately, but there aren’t many examples.

also I did an auto check and that vehicle was in two accidents before finally being declared a total loss on the third

Those dealerships are the shadiest places in the world. All the vehicles on the lot are salvage title and repaired in the cheapest possible way to make them cheap and look decent. Jump to the top of every Autotrader search, but the cars are total shit. It takes some digging to even find that they aren’t clean title

I owned one of these and my take on it is a bit different than the review. It was not peak bubble era over-engineered it was bubble era over ambitious engineering.

My family had 2 of these: a pre-facelift one and one of the later ones like this. They had an available Bose system from the factory which was OK-mid-2000's-bose. The miller cycle engine had a very Mazda problem where a plastic T-line deep inside the engine would probably crack after X years or 100k or so miles and

I’ve always wanted a Millenia with the Miller Cycle motor. So intriguing.

The original design was subdued, but elegant — also the extremely reasonably sized grille is the size of a current day badge.

I remember working on a cellular carrier merges (does it get more late90's/early 00's than that?) in 2001, and the Millennia was THE rental car of choice for entry level consultants working on one particular project.
