I used to have a thing for wood-trimmed interiors, so I’d get the stick-on aftermarket kits for my F-150.  I am ashamed of myself.

This was not necessary.  Due to the engine power of Subarus, the odds of getting to highway speeds are about the same whether the tires are aired up or not.

The problem is that if you engineer it to European specifications, you pay the European price.  Most of Latin America can’t pony up European prices for their transportation (the share is increasing, but still low).  As someone who still drives a car from the 1990's, I’d rather have cheap, reliable transportation than…

Well technically Istanbul (and anything West) would be Eastern Europe, right?  

It didn’t help that Daewoo entered the U.S. market during the greatest economic times we’ve ever had. People were flush with cash and wanted established, reliable brands that didn’t fold up like a lawn chair during crash testing.  The Leganza crash test is still one of the worst in modern U.S. history.

A cop that gives a ticket for less than 5 over is a mega douche.  A cop that does it under 10 over is a simple douche.

In the past year, Avis has been an absolute shitshow. It’s like they cut everything most aggressively during COVID and cannot get back to competence. Enterprise/Alamo, Dollar Thrifty, hell even Hertz has their shit together better than Avis/Budget these days.  Poor, poor corporate management.....but they’re making…

11 year old German (entry-level) luxury car.  No f-ing way

I was thinking the same thing.  Here in Houston, that will easily get you shot and killed.

Fortunately, if something breaks or you want to upgrade it, you can just overnight parts from Japan.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the same shit happened in the Soviet Union, Cuba, etc.  It’s just humans being shitty.  

It’s the global economy...supply and demand. You can’t legislate our way to ending climate change, because we are 320 million people in a world with 8 billion. China builds a coal plant every week on average. The only way out is making alternative forms of energy cheaper (or close to it) than fossil fuels.

You know, I don’t have an issue with saying that Blue Lives Matter. Cops are killed in far greater numbers and greater percentages than any racial or ethnic group. It’s just a statistical fact that more cops are killed by AA males than unjustified killings the other way around. That’s not disputable.

It is what it is at this point. People are tired of being locked down, they’re tired of masks (this I really don’t get). All we can do now is try to get vaccinated as quickly as possible.  

100% a newer car with high miles. As the owner of an early 2000's Impala with barely 60k miles, I can attest that more automotive components break down with age, not usage.  I’ve had several low-mileage “driven to church on Sundays” older cars and it’s just a fact.  

The LS was cool looking for its time, but it was an unbelievably unreliable piece of shit.

Modern trucks are too big for a lot of people. Even the Ranger is as big or bigger than an F-150 of 20 years ago. I’m glad to see vehicles such as this and the Maverick coming in to fill the void. Many people don’t want the ride that a truck chassis provides (although they are far more refined than years ago) and most…

I have a 20 year old Impala with only 50,000 miles on it. You’d think everything functions great considering the mileage, but age means a lot more than miles, meaning it rides and functions like a 20 year old Impala with 475,000 miles.

Why would you allow any company direct access to debit your checking account? All you need to do is get the total price of the car, call your bank, go through a few identifying questions, say “please wire $55,000 to Tesla”, and you’re done.
