Legit. I’ve used hakkapeliittas and blizzaks previously, the cross climate 2’s are 90% as good with no need to swap wheels twice a year. Totally worth it. Have driven my rwd bmw in 1 foot of fresh snow in colorado, and on sloppy day 3 commutes, very happy.

Exactly. You can be confident and not ride like an fuckwit. That part - the part that nearly got him killed - was a decision. Confidence has nothing to do with it.

This has been studied. Just the first google hit of many

With a few exceptions every one of them would be in SUVs and trucks. Probably mostly trucks.

No. LOL.

more nostril,

Except SUVs are seen as wasteful and selfish now. It’s actually dangerous to drive them.

Filing drawer for paper invoices, spreadsheet with dates and mileage for tracking tires and maintenance intervals, always. But especially since I bought a 2011 six owner BMW recently and I’m making up for past neglect on the poor thing.

Yeah, definitely giving up share to EVs. Going the same way as manual transmissions - manufacturers are pivoting, eventually that’s all you’ll be able to buy.

With manuals already rare and rapidly vanishing, I wonder if you could buy one of these and break even when you sell it in 10 years.

Bezos didn’t get that way by not buying things. He was senior VP in a NYC hedge fund before he was 30. Pretty sure he wasn’t taking the bus to work.

Right? These numbers are so vast, the experience doesn’t really change.

Ooh a CRX for 4 figures, this could be good... oh.

Is it 80% better than a base 911, or a Cayman GT4 for that matter? Or even 20% better?

Neutral: I just sold my car for much more than it was worth in normal times, but then spent far more for the next one. Unless you’re selling and waiting it doesn’t really matter much (it matters a little, at higher trade prices the absolute lift to get into a new vehicle is bigger).

Right. If you’ve got a real use for it that offsets the externalities, then have at it. If that use is nothing more than costco runs and an office commute then gtfo. The haters see a lot of the latter and it’s a soft target.

I did not know auto-dimming mirrors were a thing.. and now I must have them.

but apparently if your house has appreciated by a hundred grand, it’s not outside of the realm of the possible to use that to finance a Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

1%ers waving their dicks at each other. If they’re a “car guy” then displayed in some massive garage for dinner guests to cringe at.

Or below 30k. At least the slide show will be brief.
