Many states demand a yearly personal property tax on top of sales tax for all sorts of vehicles. It’s usually charged starting in the second year of ownership so as not be be onerous on the initial sale.

The better ride thing is huge. Cars with 19" wheels with low profile tires test ride poorly. If I had a family and tested that again’t an CR-V, I’d probably get the SUV too. Hell, I’m sick of curb rash on my “old” 2013 Accord with the 18"ers and getting slammed on every damned road seam. It’s ridiculous. What does…

[emergency services] were able to cut open that soft canopy and [they] got our diver out of there.”

Lately, I’ve been paying particular attention to which drivers are being particularly aggressive around me here in North Jersey. My conclusion? An awful lot of Nissan drivers are either criminals, criminally stupid or both. Making way for them is making my commute much safer. I wish I knew why Nissan drivers are such…

So true. When you’re young, do you take time to think about your reaction time+braking distance from 100 mph? I didn’t. It takes a looong distance to stop from those speeds, but you won’t know it until you either try it or are taught by an instructor. Trouble is that no DMV test in this country covers this in as much…

I don’t disagree. The more aggressively these jokers tailgate me, the more patient I become. It’s great therapy.

Back when I had my ‘90 SHO, I tried to convince my brother to buy one as well. Pride made him buy something different - the Olds Cutlass version of the Z43 and the automatic one at that. I took all of my self discipline not to roll my eyes in his presence. I vowed never to mention the car to another for fear that I…

I don’t see how they are able to justify charging as much for gas as they have been for the last decade. Demand is down, supply is up yet we are still getting screwed.

I don’t pretend to now exactly what knives were invented for, but I suspect it was for cutting things. I imagine that sharp flint was first used for sawing through branches, tendons and meat from animals felled by some other method. To think that primitive man tried to use a knife to take down a bird, rabbit, deer,…

The birds don’t seem to give a damn. Sing on!

Mustang + Florida Man = Entertainment!

Honda version?

I too have mixed feelings - I love the idea, but it really pisses me off that I can’t even afford a street version while these nutjobs can afford to beat theirs into back yard junkers.

:D

What’s really ironic is that the only reason that silver became emblematic for German cars is that the Auto Union racing team wanted to save a few pounds and declined to paint their aluminum cars. So, I sometimes wonder if real Germans scratch their heads when buyers want silver Mercs/BMWs/Audis - especially extra…

I just got my first set of hearing aids and I can tell you that I find that the AC/vent fan in my 2013 Honda Accord is annoyingly loud. On the flip side, I can now hear my blinker. :D

VOTD!

If the the city had decent mass transit, this poor woman wouldn’t have had to resort to auto theft to get around. You see, nobody walks in LA. If they don’t have a car, they have to do the Puig shuffle.

I beg to differ. My eyes were insulted by the Solara. The 1994 Camry coupe has temporarily blinded me.
