This site is littered with comments from people who insist that they need their giant vehicle - sometimes just due to the perception that it makes their life a tiny bit easier sometimes. Crazily, people seem blind to the ways it makes their life more difficult. The reality is they don’t care because it’s driven by a…

My wife and I have a five-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. My wife, myself, and the two kids can easily fit in my car (2016 Mazda6). It gets 40 MPG on the highway and can make it to the Florida state line (at the panhandle) from our home in Kentucky on just over 1 tank of gas.

I’m guessing the GT is aimed at old folks (like me) who grew up while the WRX/Evo wars were in full swing, and now that we can afford a brand new one, we realize that the base model is still basically an econo-box that rattles your teeth.

And a well optioned cayman can cost more than a 911. What's your point?

I think a lot of people get in to it after buying a new car, thinking they’ll make up the car payment + some profit, and then sell it in a couple years. Obviously being in good condition is key to this strategy.

I’m sure, in more than a couple of instances, it’s literally money laundering.

Speculators are in trading cards, video games, exotic cars, and art.
Money laundering, basically.
There’s no set amount for these items, so criminals can get in there and juice the market all they want, trade amongst themselves, or their proxies.
The only people that miss out are the rest of us.
So.
Yeah, it’s not great.

Just the latest in the “wishful thinking” genre of Jalopnik posts, where if the writers solemnly explain how trucks, especially expensive ones, are Very Bad, everyone will start driving Honda Fits again, as god intended.

Sorry, the TRDPro in Orange is the best looking Tundra.

“It is not a truck that anyone really asked for, given that this is the kind of truck more expected of Ford or GMC, but it’s here anyway, doing its best. Capstone? Capstone.”

Nobody asked for the Capstone? WTF are you even doing, writing about automobiles? Luxury trucks are a booming segment, and the big three can’t satisfy demand. People have also been asking for an updated Tundra for over half a decade, and the previous top of the line 1794 Edition sold well in the context of the Tundra.…

I have Torq Pro on my phone that allows me to see in real time the actual demand on the battery by the heating system on my Bolt. The heater’s power consumption varies according to how much heat the car is trying to generate to moderate the temperature inside the cabin.  The only time it’s pulling it’s full capacity,…

did you even bother to read his test?  before the 12 hour test, he simulated driving his normal commute, including getting coffee.  maybe instead of leaping to conclusions you should leap to the next sentence of the article

That’s one of the advantages of EVs, though. So long as you have a place to charge at home, most people are going to start their commute at 100%.

so it basically used somewhere between 18~23kwh or so of electricity (give or take depending on which battery they had) to run the car. that’s about $5 worth of electricity. not terrible.

I’m not a fan of angry Jeep eyes, either. But a racist identifier?

They are actually incredibly cringey to see in real life, and essential equipment for all the neck tattoo guys at my gym.

angry jeep eyes are dumb. about 30% of the jeeps in my area have the angry eyes grill kit and punisher logos. it’s like playing “spot the racist!”

It doesn’t matter.  Under contract law, if the salesperson appeared to the buyer to have the authority to sell the vehicle, then the sales contract was valid and binding upon the car dealership.  

Where does it say he didn’t have title? The salesman clearly had possession of the car. The keys. The ability to exclusively use it. The kid bought it and drove it for 6 months with no issue. I’m assuming he registered it if he drove it for that long without being stopped by the cops. None of that sounds like the…
