The Stinger looks like a nice piece of hardware and I salute Kia for having the guts to produce it. But would I pay $50,000 plus for it? Hell no. The worst part isn’t the price although it seems a little too high, it’s the depreciation. Let’s face it, you’ll probably be able to buy one for $20,000 in three years or…

Not necessarily an auto parts store issue but I remember taking my Subaru into the dealership because it was leaking a little coolant. Looked like the radiator was cracked but wanted confirmation from the dealer mechanics. They gave me their diagnosis, bad head gaskets. I protested and insisted they give me a quote…
My old next door neighbor had one of those giant V10 longbed Dodge Rams that was jacked 5 feet into the air. He was retired and used to drive it every morning to the local doughnut shop for some coffee and a cruller then back home. We live in the city so the most off road he ever saw was when he missed the curb and…
Not surprising compact SUV’s have such high profit margins, they’re just jacked up versions of compact cars with different sheetmetal. Does that justify an extra $7500? I suppose for a lot of people it does. Personally I’d rather have a hatchback with similar space and utility that handles better and I’ll keep the…
I used to have one of these, fun as hell, lightweight, tossable, revvy engine, slick shifting 5 speed, and pretty practical. One of the original hot hatches. Paid around $1800 used with 130k miles, sold it a couple years later with 150k miles for around $1800. Looks like it’s in pretty nice shape. I’ll give you…
Terrible. I’ve been mostly happy with all the Goodyear tires I’ve purchased. But very happy to be rolling on my Pirelli P7 Cinturatos now.
Cars have definitely closed the performance gap recently mainly because of all the electronic computer launch control aids that let any doofus bury their foot in the gas pedal at launch and let the car do all the work, no skills needed. Motorcycles by contrast still require skills to operate so I suspect if you had a…
The Cordia was one of the worst made Japanese cars ever, typical Mitsubishi and probably why there are none left. But rowing through the two manual gear levers with both hands and working the clutch and accelerator with both feet, one of the most fun crackpot automotive inventions ever. Sure the Maxima wasn’t nearly…
Better cars yes but common and boring. A cherry mid-80’s Maxima wagon though? Unique and much harder to find. If you’re under 30 then you’re right, it’s just a relic. If you’re any older though it’s nostalgic. Now if you run across a Mitsubishi Cordia with a twin stick manual in good shape then let me know.
Love it. My parents had an 87 Maxima wagon back in the day, did everything a modern crossover does but was pretty fun to drive. Revvy V6, low center of gravity, went around corners pretty well, the original 4DSC. Why don’t manufacturers make fun to drive wagons anymore?
They were probably trying to make the chair swing on purpose. Anyone who’s shared a chair with a couple of 10 year olds knows you can force the chair to swing.
They’re working on a Model H but don’t hold your breath, probably won’t be available for years if ever.
Second on the warm water. Just a little mug full, dribble it on the windshield and scrape it off right away before it has a chance to refreeze. Definitely don’t toss a pot full of scalding hot water on the glass all at once. What moron told him to do that?
Kind of looks like a Model X. That’s not a complement.
Hammond you numpty.
Actually no one gives a shit about the Ford Fusion sedan. Honda and Toyota just poured a shitload of money into their respective sedan offerings. There’s a million people who threw down a thousand dollar deposit so they can take delivery of a Tesla 3 sedan ten years from now. And the day BMW stops making sedans…
1550 deliveries worldwide as of Q4. You must be driving up and down Page Mill all day long.
Outside of a couple Model 3’s being driven around the Palo Alto headquarters, likely by employees, I haven’t seen any out in the wild. And I live in the area.
I thought the Marlins were charging $29 for an all you can eat come to every game if you want ticket plan last September. Not clear if the seats were assigned or you could sit in any of the 35,000 empty seats in the stadium kind of like riding a bus or going to a little league game. At any rate it didn’t look like…
