I leased my car back in 2018 when the sticker price was $18,100 with only $1K down. 4 year lease at a payment of $292.63/mo. after some add-ons like “gap” coverage and wheel/rim replacement - before that it was something like $229/mo base. My buy out price was $7,780. My mom just leased a car on Thursday with a…

Any episode where they had X budget to buy a car (or scooter) for a specific challenge

Let’s not forget that Russian airlines basically stole a great number of leased “Western” aircraft that were demanded returned at the start of the invasion by the lessors but kept them “because Putin said it was ok.”

I’ll always associate this song with the Budweiser tribute for Dale Jr. retiring which has that same outcome of bumming me the hell out.

My brother and I were big post-hardcore fans in the 2010s and we did a BJs run on a shitty rainy day in December while our Grandfather was in hospice. We got “the call” as we were checking out and head right over to Pop and Gram’s to be with him in his final moments and cranked “She Watched the Sky” on the ride over.…

Always Be Closing

The most memorable thing about the Concorde, to me, was the commercial where a mom is talking to her young daughter and insinuating that her sibling was a result of banging in the car.

‘83 Cutlass Supreme was my first car. It was an old lady’s grocery getter and she died, and her son just wanted rid of it. Took it off his hands for $500.00. The car legit only had 29,000 on the odometer, but it was still 20+ years old when I got it. Lots of parts had never been replaced over its lifespan. And, lots…

Ö-63, ja?

He’s successful in that he’s believable to a large enough number of people; of which got us into this mess. He was able to charm millions of people through his charisma even if his words are best described as verbal diarrhea.

I brought this one up the other day. This song was perpetually in my head in the early 2000s because of the Mitsubishi Eclipse (the bad one).

When you talk too much shit it kinda just pools in the mouth region

Senior year, the girl who won “Best Car” had one of these in black and was a convertible IIRC. It was a nice car, visually, for the time period. It was clearly an upgrade on the 3rd gen. The only thing I remember fondly of the 3rd gen was the Dirty Vegas “Days Go By” commercials.

Bob-omb Battlefield

At least you got to listen to that jazzy space music. What an absolute banger that background track is.

Amongst the many Honda Accords my mom drove, I think my favorite car my parents’ had was my dad’s silver 1988 Nissan Maxima. The thing was fully loaded with powered seats, a sun-roof, and a bunch of crazy buttons that I had no idea what they did. As a kid, that car was akin to a space-ship. It was also the first car I…

That Apple commercial pisses me off because the entire ad is what drives me nuts about modern parenting. Don’t want to deal with the kids? Here look at this screen. The adults are talking now, play with this instead. Here watch a movie. Then it’s like “oh look the kids did something really touching using this device I…

It’s on the gas station/fast food counter tightrope, but on my travels I am not appalled by Sheetz bathrooms.

I’ve heard bad things about Kia dealerships, but haven’t experienced them firsthand. I actually had a pleasant buying experience at my local dealership when I got my Forte 2 years ago. It was a quick process and they went through great lengths to get me what I needed. That said, my dealership felt old and stuffy. It…

Oooooh nice find!
