As I remember it, HIDs were being stolen from Acura TLs the most since they would bolt right in to a Honda Accord.

The vast majority of “’used’ replacements from dodgy sources” are completely legitimate sales from scrap yards and wreckers parting out cars. There’s no reason to stop buying used parts. Stolen parts are too small of a market. It would end up just hurting legit used part sellers and not really affect many thieves.…
Uh, have you seen how taxi drivers drive? They drive with zero regard for any traffic laws. Obviously a very different style from clueless Uber drivers, but far more reckless.
So you want a Golf with more stuff inside and fancier parts? Uh yeah, that’s the GTI dude. Stuff costs money. I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at, but the Golf is cheaper because it has less stuff. They can’t just add more stuff for free.
Exactly. So this isn’t Texas’s air force, it’s some private company’s air force. I replied to a comment saying,
With high performance DI/turbo engines that all consume lots of oil these days, spark plugs don’t last as long anymore.
Those could just as easily be electrical problems from poor wiring, grounding, or general design. They could be from poor weather sealing or even using the wrong type of plastics in the connectors or insulation. There’s no reason to think it’s just a software glitch.
Land Rover is the make. Range Rover is the model. It was definitely a Land Rover, but may or may not have been a Range Rover.
Many states have an air national guard.
I’m not against EVs, but the lack of exhaust note makes them really boring to watch. Motorsports just seem far more fun and exciting with super high revving ICEs.
What does your particular case have to do with anything? The average Camry owner spends $1200 per year on gasoline. Of course some people drive much more per year and have more potential savings, but there are also people have drive much less and will save less. So logically it only makes sense to talk about the…
I think the average savings per year for an EV is about $500. That factors in the cost difference between gasoline and electricity and maintenance savings. So even after 10 years, the savings is $5000 which is substantial, but doesn’t come close to making up the difference on its own.
You probably make up about $500/year on electricity vs. gasoline costs and general maintenance. So over 10 years (conservative estimate for an EV’s life) that’s $5000 right there. There’s also state and federal tax credits available which drive the price down even further.
So what should we do with these horses then? Are you going to pay to buy them and bury them? Just because they can be ridden they deserve special treatment? If you’re not going to buy them, then who is responsible for “saving” these rideable animals?
I think the Toyota Highlander is a great option. Among non car enthusiasts, Toyota seems to almost be classless. It’s a sensible car for both people with and without means. The Highlander fits perfectly into the $35,000 price range, will probably be one of the most reliable options, and blends right in while still be…
Not one page returns one search result that backs up your $500/week claim.
Uh, median is the exact 50th percentile. That literally means half of people earn more and half the people earn less. The mean (what most people mean by average) is something different.
Actually, in 2017, the media wage for workers in the U.S.A. was $857/week which is over $3700/month. Which is plenty for someone to get a $25k car (whether or not they should is a different discussion).
