Yep, done. I mean, how many other cars have a game based on spotting them in the wild?

Exactly - I would say you are most likely not an asshole, so the thought would never occur to you. Unfortunately if you’re the seller of a car that is generally regarded as fun to drive and/or rare, you have to be on the lookout for people just looking to have a few minutes of fun at someone else’s expense.
It makes sense actually. UPS never owns the package they are shipping, they should not be held to the same liability for shipping a $10 item for the same price as a $10,000 item. If they fuck up, they give you the cost of shipping back, because that’s what you gave them money to do.
I assume he’s talking about people that show up to test drive a car on CL with absolutely no intention to buy. You’re just wasting the seller’s time at that point, which is an asshole-ish thing to do.
That’s actually part of the point I’m making - unless you tow regularly, you’ll almost never get a full return on your investment. Some exceptions are when there is a significantly higher value retention with diesel than gasoline...then when you actually sell your car you may come out ahead.
Not sure if it has been mentioned, but let’s say for a moment that the 3.5 EB and Titan diesel get similar EPA figures. Even if the real-world mileage is similar when driving around town, strap a few tons on the back and the gap between diesel and gas will widen significantly.
Not gonna lie - the most fun I had with my Dodge Caravan rental was hitting all the buttons on my key fob at the same time and watching it reveal itself to me.
Given the choice, I prefer not to, but there are some places in town where parking is so slim I have no option but to give the keys to the complimentary valet. The best kind.
Maybe a sign of the times...at least here in the states. I can’t imagine that would fly in Europe.
Ah, gotcha, that makes much more sense. On that note, at least someone didn’t make an attempt to drive it without knowing how. As a previous owner of a stick shift, nothing pissed me off more than the sound of someone else burning my clutch!
So you’re a valet that can’t drive stick? That’s definitely worse that a salesman that can’t drive stick. I would think that is a job requirement...
So what’s the breakover angle on that thing?
2015 BMW M3 (3.0 biturbo gasoline engine): 406 lb-ft starting at 1850 rpm and not letting up until that diesel has passed its redline. Still going to cling to diesel for the extra 16 lb-ft?
Why not compare engines of the same displacement rather than hp rating? I get that sometimes you don’t have the ability to find equal sizes, but when someone’s saying diesel makes this much power and gas makes that much, and then you don’t go equal displacement, well you’re just adding another variable to the mix. And…
“This is the basic premise of the American driver education system.”
In my opinion the fluid changes aren’t much worse than most autos, and any decent independent Honda shop should do it for well under $100. The first is called for around 90k, and then every 30k thereafter. I’ve taken two first-gen (for the US) Fits to over 100k and the only issue, same for each car, was bad ignition…
Don’t tease me with such fantasies.
At least if you drive each one until it takes a shit on you, the combined lifespan may be on par with a Camry or the like.
