He calmed down but his speech seemed more like intoxicated .

nice work Doug.

Where do you fall in the category of “I brought my car in just for a simple fix of [X] and now they’re telling me that my wheel bearings need to be replaced.” They are not forcing me to get the job done, but they’re certainly making me feel uncomfortable about driving the car.

10/10 your ex does not care about your car. So this list should actually be called “Ten Best Cars that Make You Think You Make Your Ex Jealous”

Because it was the 80s and there was no internet so there was no consensus opinion that those cars were worth saving. Seriously, those cars were shit in the eyes of most nose breathers. Good American cars on the other hand were still a recent memory at the time. Blue collar actually meant blue collar, and people who…

Is there anyone else who doesn’t need a tachometer? I’ve owned countless cars and motorcycles over the years (most of which were standard transmissions) and I’ve never felt like I got better data from that gauge than I could get from my ears or hands.

Born in 81. don’t even remember this console

Hey Einstein, take it down a notch for the rest of us common folk.

2000 Civic sedan, inherited by marriage. I can tell you with confidence today that it had been in a serious accident in the past and the frame hadn’t been repaired properly. I figured this out because the exhaust pieces would never line up properly - there was always a 1-inch gap between flanges somewhere, depending…

I saw one of these on the road about 3 weeks ago. it was in fine shape - didn’t even remember them from childhood.

excellent point. completely forgot about VINs. the mailer is long gone so I can’t confirm - although I’ve had my prius serviced at this dealer before so i know they KNOW my VIN. would be interested to know if they put the VIN for the new car on.

Last week a local Toyota dealership sent me a pretty legitimate looking invoice for a new Prius (unsolicited) - at a pretty good price - along with a line item for trading in my current Prius - again, a very very generous offer considering it has been wrecked and has close to 90K miles on the ODO.

I just want to clarify the tire price issue you’re talking about. The Schwalbe Marathon Plus is considered one of the best commuting/touring bicycle tires you can buy at any price and they cost around $35/ea. I personally believe the Panaracer Pasela TG is one of the best as well, and they cost about the same. You can…

Funny, the TransitConnect was my runner up but instead we just bought a new Outback. I really really wanted to like the Ford but 1) the Outback was the value winner easily - you get so many great features at a decent price; and 2) CR’s TC that they purchased turned out to be a dog. They’re not the same car and each…

here’s how it’s done

Bought one new last month and drove straight to IKEA to bring home 900lbs of furniture (not exaggerating). A week later hauled home a craigslist dryer.

I just bought a 2015 base Outback for $23,700 before tax & fees. It’s nowhere near $10,000 worse than the Limited specd above. There’s still hope if you can live with plastic wheel covers.
