A busy dad who doesn’t want to hear his daughter compain that the car is broken down every other week.

The Z3 is the only BMW I’ve spent a significant amount of time driving and I love it: torquey straight six, very good handling, good enough power, and still has that old-school built like brick sh*thouse German quality. Seriously, the door on a Z3 weighs more than an entire Miata.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team

The Dongfeng missile is an unproven design (like most Chinese “advanced” weapons systems) that relies on an extremely complex network of regular satellites, mini satellites, drones, aircraft, and over the horizon radar to properly target a carrier battle group. Chances are the US would be able to punch more than a…

I promise it isn’t just a few people on Jalopnik, the no extra add-ons and fees dealership I bought my Jeep from has hundreds of positive online reviews and had a line of people ahead of me waiting to go through financing. They were selling more cars than they could handle and had competitive but not the absolute…

Marketing 101...people hate fees, espcially for something that isn’t optional like completing the paperwork necessary to sell a car. Tacking on hidden and “mandatory” fees is an admission that the business model is flawed and relies on trickery and misdirection to sell cars. I paid about $750 more than the lowest…

There is no logic to the fee, businesses shouldnt charge an additional fee to provide a very basic component of thier service. It is the equivalent of a restaurant charging a $5 fee to deliver your meal to the table. Just a very silly shell game that irritates customers.

I believe that’s called crossing a “gore” point, you can get a huge ticket for doing so here in AZ. Not sure where the name gore comes from, maybe all of thr blood and guts that are spilled from the resulting accident?

Yeah his taste in music is a bigger crime than crossing a solid white line.

Which countertop car-parts toy is more fun: the Lucas gear oil crank or the worn vs new shock display with the attached pull levers?

The very rich may have garish tastes, but those who are truly wealthy drive 10 year old Buicks.

No, at least Land Rover doesn’t. These days LR’s target market is upper middle class yoga moms, not safari operators, the military, or other buyers who need serious capabilty.

Q: What’s the difference between a violin and a fiddle?

It is a fair point, the target demograpgic wants the rugged, outdoorsy look without the discomfort and inconvienience that goes along with owning a vehicle that is actually off-road capable. It is the modern version of vinyl wood trim or a landau top.

Yeah! I mean what the hell are we paying these turkeys for anyway?

Is it taller than the other tall cars?

Amazing car, no doubt, but what would be the reason for buying this over a Corvette? Performance numbers are nearly identical but I have to think the Corvette is the more enjoyable car to drive around a track and for less money.

Agreed, it has the least desirable engine/trans combo. AOD is fine on a Mustang but a Bronco needs C6 or E4OD.

I guess nothing about Trump should surprise me but do you really think he knew nothing about the START treaties? I’m sure the discussion topics were known ahead of the call and Trump was briefed at least somewhat by his handlers and advisors. My guess is that this was more of a misguided negotiating tactic/marketing…
