GF and I make north of $250k a year and still cringe at car payments over $500/mo. Such a waste to spend more than that on a depreciating asset, but at this point it seems like the bare minimum to get into a decent car. 

Can we just collectively stop calling these SUVs and just call them cars? Since classically shaped hatchbacks, wagons and sedans are becoming a rarity these days, crossovers have just become the default shape of most cars. Like it or not, ask any kid to draw a “car” these days and it will likely be shaped like a crosso…

They finally buckled down, earned a great SAT score, and got into a good collage.

Good news is that neither are selling well at all - even in this market. In fact, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are quickly following the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80 as the full-size “premium” SUV du jour on the rental car lots. Every single one I’ve seen here in California has been a rental.

Debit cards? Stop being so poour!

Given the difficulty of getting approved for credit cards, or the financial outlay required to get a secured credit card, versus just having a debit card attached to your existing bank account that requires no further validation or approval, I’d say the difference between them and you is your privilege. You should…

This is the correct choice for sure. My father has a 2014 and hasn’t had any major issues other than the ones he caused by driving into stationary objects. 

This, or an AMG wagon, is the right answer. 

This is a big step up from the Maserati in reliability and build quality. Plus they look the bizness. 

Reminds me of the Espace F1

Go big or go home! Coming in under budget at $56k, is this peach of 2016 full-size Range Rover with a silky delicious 5.0 V8. It has nice rims, light colored interior for the Florida sun, and looks the part in a fancy hotel valet or playing in the sand. And before you moan about unreliability, you already had a Ghibli…

Very strong Renault Espace F1 vibes here. Not quite as cool (because no van ever will be unless they too have an F1 V10), but that’s good company:

I don’t understand all the hate for this. It’s a great EV alternative to basically any full-size SUV. So what if most owners won’t go off road, it certainly will keep air quality cleaner on the school run and in the Whole Foods parking lot than some gross 10 year old Tahoe.

And then featured in the movie Taxi 7.

And like most large French cars this will be bought by around 8 people, mostly French government officials, Peugeot employees, and will eventually end up as taxis in Paris and Marseille.

What frustrates me about these ‘road rallies’ is that posh track days are now very much a thing. There’s opportunities in most every major US state and major area unless you live somewhere like BFE Montana. Not only because it’s now so ridiculously expensive to rent major racing facilities for any reasonable racing…

You’re pulling the Hitler card? On an automobile accident? How does that equate to a genocide? This has to be the most dim-witted comment I’ve seen on this site.

I’m glad they only hurt themselves and not anyone else. Everything about these events epitomizes the idea of a douchebag. It’s incredibly unsafe, braggy for the point of being braggy, wholly inconsiderate of the safety and well-being of anyone else, and generally gives the vibe of “I am the coolest fucking person on…

I believe they use some type of Croc sandal

I’m assuming this man has done the math on the increase in running costs on going back to a used ICE car - tires, oil changes, SMOG checks, gas prices. The Tesla may not be as expensive as it seems when all that is factored in. Also, if he owns the Tesla, he could also potentially refinance it over a long term.
