What’s the worst? Any platform that can be had at the low end of the Sloan Ladder (e.g. Chevrolet, Ford, Volkswagen) with “luxury” badges slapped on it (e.g. Cadillac, Lincoln, Audi).

The picture of the engine bay shows hoses going to the shock towers, so there is a distinct possibility that there is some pneumatic or hydraulic malfunction back there.

“Then there’s using a car wash in the winter, when you might consider being careful on the way to, since it’s possible for the water to freeze and make the exit a bit dangerous.”

3rd Gear: Remember “Cash for Clunkers”? Same goddam thing with EV subsidies. Any kind of subsidy is a boondoggle for auto manufacturers and dealers.  The purchaser always ends up with the shit end of the stick.

2nd Gear: China, of all places, know how a free-market economy works: Remove subsidies and prices go down. Same would go with student loans. Remove that subsidy and the cost of education goes down bigly.

Just curious, what is the parts availability status for Saabs?

I have always parked way out in the empty part of the parking lot where my vehicles are left alone. However, Sam’s Club seems to attract a different kind of sociopath because when I return to the empty lot there is almost always one idiot who absolutely had to park beside me. WTF. 

While 1980 may be considered the absolute nadir of Jaguar quality, I can’t help but irrationally give it a NP.  

Abbott hedged his bets and handed out blankets.

“Handys” are so high school.  No thanks.

Are you trying to sell me this car?  Not interested.  

He can run Sales & Marketing, along with all of the others with “great ideas” and absolutely no follow through. We back-end folks require tangible desired outcomes, milestones, test & evaluation, funding, etc. You know. We do REAL work.

Because that’s 50k miles that I would like to utilize. 180k is 20-30k from the junkyard.

Maybe if it had 50k fewer miles and the ask were $3k less, those of a certain age (like me) would appreciate this car.

Just filled up my pickup with $2.89/gal regular. $60 total. At the peak of insanity, I paid $105 to fill it up.
