He’s right though. As cars become more like appliances, less and less soulful cars will exist.

The former “Top Gear” and “Grand Tour” host bemoaned the fact that modern cars are getting too heavy for his liking.

Going back in time a bit, but the early 60's Studebaker Champ that had a mismatched bed. The “stepside” version didn’t look any better.

A perfect use case for the ‘11-14 Nissan Murano Cross-Cabriolet. $10k all day, low miles, since they were all babied. AWD. VQ engine. Comfy.  It’s perfect.

As a dude in his 40s, I’d tell my younger self not to bother doing dumb shit to my cars and just get better brake pads and tires for cars that can make use of it. everything else is fine stock or until you need to replace something worn or broken. Double goes for expensive ass cars like a GT3. Unless you’re a rich…

Draw a Venn digram of all those things — comfort, safety, FWD, mature, under $15K, reasonable maintenance, Colorado-climate friendly, good road-tripper — and you’ll see this baby right dead set in the middle:

Serious question though, if say 20 Presidents in a row held firm to huge tariffs on imports to incentivize made in US production, would manufacturing be forced to return to the US, or would stuff just become so expensive that we would become North Korea? 

NP because it runs and for the thorough detail job.

It’s nice looking , but man fuck you Tesla for convincing all the other automakers they can be cheap bastards and just put EVERYTHING in a damn screen.

We all (Gen Xers) all learned to drive on hand-me-down cars that were dull as a butter knife and barely offered more than a 2-speaker stereo and power windows if you were lucky, and I think this is were we learned some of our resourcefulness and humility. I this this is a great car for a new driver. Or, buy it to take…

NP buy it for your teenager and enjoy their embarrassment.

What? That isn’t even close to true. I own two cars that are absolutely not underwater. And some brands have better resale than others. Sure, maybe the first year on most new cars you will be, but it isn’t always underwater, lol.

“This is in great shape” plus “I have too many projects” = “This is hiding some horrible demon that I can’t cheaply fix and/or a million little gremlins that I don’t feel like fixing. Brush up on your German, because you will definitely need to make friends with an overseas BMW enthusiast group who can help you source…

I honestly didn’t know that Hoonigan was anything other than a slogan or name. I associated it with Ken Block but that’s as far as it went for me. To discover it’s an actual business with $1.2 billion in debt blows my mind as much as those gymkhana videos. This might be part of their business problem.

What has the owner done other than have a car he owns gone without compensation and some old properties?

Ranko Veslinovic, a name that just sounds greasy, and his actions confirm his greasiness. 

Gosh, wouldn’t it be a shame, a real shame, if something like a fire were to happen to 1st Quality Auto Mall (located at 471 West Avenue, Tallmadge, Ohio)?

Buyer is 1000% at fault here.  Don’t spend your money on something you don’t take the time to check over.  Too bad for their situation but,  their fault.  

$11k for a used wheelchair van? This is on the buyer. I’m sorry but they are expensive for a reason. That’s like paying $500 for a regular car and expecting it to do a Cannonball run with no issues.

I’m gonna be really disappointed if this car ends up being unobtanium like the Polestar 1.  Mass produce it you cowards.
