And the moral of the story is "the more carlike, the better." Even looking at this thing, it's hard to even imagine that it's supposed to be an SUV, not a wagon. And even more confounding that Volvo will sell the wagon alongside it. Great car — if they offered an NA straight 5 or 6, I'd be game. Because those are like…

Yeah but the Subaru has no Vtec to kick in, yo

Lol, I like Nick Cage. I have no idea why, but I do ;)

It’s honestly not rare at all. Lots of people develop kidney stones that are too big to pass. They used to use lithotripsy (ultrasound) to break up kidney stones, but mine were broken up with a laser.

No they don’t, and guys have all my sympathy in that regard. after a trip to the ER, I had to have two surgeries last year because of kidney stones that were too big to pass, plus I had a stent that ran from my right kidney to my bladder for 4 weeks, and all that absolutely made me curl up in a ball and cry. I am not…

Damn...hmmm, now you have me daydreaming of a high mileage (in black) 360 on BBS FI-Rs...and giving zero fucks about what other people think. And then I wake the fuck up, and think, “A high mileage 360 on BBS FI-Rs?”

Definitely, but i’d say thank america’s wealthy owners who are no longer willing to put up with unreliable cars. See Ferrari’s growth vs, Aston’s for examples of this.

The 360 was a rental at Gotham Dream Cars, a very early production 1999 model, *possibly* even an ex press car. I only say that because the speedo was in KM and it was fast as fuck. Walked Challenge Stradales all day long.

The guys who run the rental businesses are really the people who can tell you if an exotic car is going to be reliable long-term. Those are worst-case cars. And all of them tell me, unequivocally, that the Ferrari 458 is a very reliable car. If I was going to spend my money on a used exotic and didn’t require a stick…

There was a 2011 458 Italia with 92k miles for sale for $130k in my suburb last month. Was almost tempted to sell my soul.

The highest mileage I’ve ever seen on a Gallardo was 120,000. The highest I’ve seen on a Ferrari 360 was around 150,000. Highest on a 430 was like 90,000, but on its third engine. Highest I’ve seen on a Murcielago was 64,000. Highest I’ve seen on a 458 is around 100,000. This McLaren, at 32,000 was the highest I’ve…

The F430 is great value. It’s like the 996. People didn’t like the shark nose and it was maligned despite the car being amazing in practically every other way.

I’ve actually thought a lot about getting one of these. The price certainly is right, but yeah, the maintenance is a little frightening. If it were a known quantity — like, budget X amount and you’ll be okay, then I could maybe justify it. But it’s the worry of some unknown problem lurking which could suddenly cost…

I know someone who bought a used Ferrari F430 Spider a couple years ago, and he hasn't had any issues so far. If you love the styling of a particular body style, and are willing to wait several years for the car to depreciate, buying a used exotic is a good way to save $80,000-$100,000 off the initial purchase price…

Only 32,000 miles? That’s practicaly delivery milage for Tavarish. Put another 50k miles on it and get the price down to $60k so he can write “Why by a Boxter when you can get a McLaren for less”.

It’s literally the other side of the coin of calling someone a pussy for being weak.

I never thought I’d be moved by a bank’s actions, but here we are.

I’m a reporter in NC who interviewed a handful of state legislators about their support / non support of HB2. Hearing several different people give the exact same (I mean literally the exact same) quotes about protecting families and cities (i.e. Charlotte) “overstepping their boundaries” really is a glimpse into how…
