If I wanted to take a car I was interested in to a shop, on my own dime, for a pre-purchase inspection, and the dealer said “no”, that would bring my interest in that car to an absolute screeching halt. On the occasions that I have done this, the dealers were perfectly fine with it every time. Them not being OK with…

The thing that we are doing with the focus on the construction type and materials used is to get the cart before the horse. There are MANY ways this could have gone sideways. Not a submarine expert, but off the top of my head.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just list the BMW’s that aren’t ugly?
They have some horrid cars throughout their history but they’ve really topped themselves with the new 7 series
Daddy chill.
The late ‘90s gave us the 316 hatchback. It’s just... sad.
X4 is not even close: that lede image actually looks pretty good!
I get the heebee jeebees just reading the details. Bolted in? I realize you can’t pop the hatch 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, but my temples would be pounding and eyeballs bulging on the surface. Then there are the construction pipes? Double A battery powered controller! Even carbon fiber sounds sketchy 13,000 feet…
No you idiot, it was Right, Left, Down, Up, A, B, Select, Start! Now it’s totally locked up!
I know a couple people on that sub and the support ship. There’s a lot of bad information out there based on speculation and ignorance- go figure. When the official reports come out it will be clear how and why. Exploring the deep ocean is hard, but it’s worthwhile to understand our planet better. I have ZERO interest…
The submarine in question (Titan) is equipped with a 2D Teledyne sonar and 96 hours of life support for a crew of 5. It is also equipped with a “state of the art Real Time Hull Monitoring System”. One would hope that the data from the “RTM” is transmitted to the support vessel; otherwise I’m not sure what the point of…
It’s weird that some of these mention reliability and some don’t. If reliability is a factor then I would not pick a Subaru Forester over a RAV4 or a Ram over an F150. That’s just my opinion but long term I don’t see the Forester with a flat-4 and a CVT not having more maintenance costs over a RAV-4 with a 2.5 I4 and…
Right?! Can we get another take on this where the Korean brands are the hard pass they should be right now?
I feel like this has become common knowledge over the last few years: If your intent is to buy a Tacoma for anything other than being abused by your construction/landscaping/whatever company for 20 years and 300k milles...
Dealers stocking only high end cars, Manufactures only making high end models. They both say “see people are not buying lower priced cars”
Have you driven new Tahoes? They drive fantastic, and they’re very easy to see out of...
lmaoooo “vision and balls”
Just let me have this.
What price will they be next week?
Besides the 3 of 5 Subaru Legacy models with a base price under $30K? Or Base or Premium Outback?
