I did the same thing. I bought a certified pre-owned X5 40e for $45K a few months before the pandemic. I recently went to the dealership for a state inspection sticker and they offered to buy my car for $42K on the spot. The new X5 45e is $65K (no dealer markups, though no discounts), has double the electric range and…

I recently just purchased a BMW and the amount of crap the dealership tries to get people to sign up for and the ways they try to hide it into the monthly payment is borderline criminal.

If you live in the city, then public transit to Logan Airport might be reasonable (God help you if you have to take the Green Line with luggage) but for the majority of people who live further out, public transit to Logan is ridiculously slow and awful. I live 15 minutes away from Logan via car and the planned route…

You’re not exactly “selling it” to us. I’ve been a long-time reader of Jalopnik and agree that it’s always sad to see great writers like DeMuro, Rogueway, Tracy, Torch, Kristen Lee, etc... move onto bigger and better things but I feel like this entire platform has hit a new low. The comments section is incredibly buggy…

If you watch the fastest-lap runs of any of the top players in GT Sport you’ll quickly realize that a big reason why they’re so much faster is that they’ve learned the limits of what triggers a penalty on the track. A lot of times it looks like the car is 4 wheels off but is not according to the logic in the GT…

The legal system in the US is a joke when it comes to this. I once got rear-ended at a traffic light by a car that was rear-ended by a drunk driver. The drunk driver backed up, unknowingly losing his license plate in the process, drove around us and immediately went home where he started pounding more beers. Luckily…

Same here. The GOP is already frothing at the mouth for the 2022 elections so they can take over the Senate and House majorities again. Their only agenda is to derail Biden’s presidency. They have literally no other purpose or mission. They do not stand for improving the livelihoods of Americans anymore - they only…

Yesterday, I was driving in front of the laziest dumbass, ever. We got off the highway together and as we slowed down to a stop at a traffic light, a huge sheet of ice from their roof, about 2inches thick, came crashing down onto their front windshield and broke into large slabs of ice covering the windshield. Rather…

I just recently ordered and received a new X5 PHEV. There were random options that weren’t available but BMW was pretty transparent about everything. The most egregious omission was that for a short period of time, some people did not get a touch screen on the nav display and only got a regular screen and even then,…

There’s no excuse for the impatience of the Accord and their reckless, over-aggressive driving but the Raptor purposely created a very dangerous situation as well. He was not only blocking the passing lane the whole time but he was purposely brake-checking and speeding up and slowing down, to prevent the Accord from…

I wouldn’t call all of them idiots. I bet anything that the guys who organized this and setup the GoFundMe are going to walk away with a ton of money. That’s Trump-level grifting right there.

This line of thinking is the common case of someone mistaking freedom for being an all-around selfish asshole. The key words in Evangeline’s phrase are “their”, “we” and “our”. Everything is centered around them. They have no regard for how their own actions will affect others. You could easily apply any stupid and…

They should have the police and sheriffs stop him every single time he crosses a state, county and city line for driving without a license. After the 20th time of trying to explain his sovereign bullshit, he’ll turn right around and go home. If they can do it for the Gumball rally, then they should do it for this ass-c…

128/95 is the same way, 65-75mph all day long and nobody ever really gets pulled over even though the limit is 55.

I’d argue that anyone who isn’t traveling predictably with the flow of traffic is a danger to everyone around them regardless if they are going faster or slower. I-95/128 north of Boston has a 55mph limit that virtually nobody follows - almost everyone is regularly traveling 65-75mph. Occasionally, you come across…

Yeah, it’s super-shady. The lady who got pulled over for allegedly flashing her lights wasn’t sure if they were legit cops, tried to call 911 and had her phone thrown to the ground (and it broke).

These guys aren’t policemen, they’re assholes on a power-trip. Look at this shit:

I agree, F1 popularity is at an all-time high but I think you can separate that from its (and the FIA’s) reputation for usually doing the wrong thing.

Same here - things were relatively fine a few years ago but then I kept getting email after email from Ally saying “Sorry but we’re cutting our interest rates again...” So sad.  The fed is supposedly raising rates this year but it still won’t be enough to keep up with inflation - especially now.

I know - they suck right now but hopefully they’ll eventually get higher again.
