I mostly agree, but then again this IS the government, it’s gonna take its sweet time paying out.  It’s kind of like if you owe the government or a bank or whatever money that want it YESTERDAY, but if they owe you, well you’ll get it, eventually. Read more

A reminder for everyone: Jeep raised their prices more than nearly any other manufacturer over the past four years. To a large degree, these discounts are not real discounts; they are Jeep prices simply going back to where they were just a short time ago.

If they were Appletree Green and saddle leather interior, I’d be all over that. And, y’know, had that much garage space, and $500k to burn, and. . . you get the picture. Read more

Sounds like a fishing expedition to me. Read more

Well let’s see. I’ll get ‘em started off: Read more

This smells like one of those “it happened to one lady in a random PA town so that local police department is warning everyone nationwide...” type of things, like the whole “gangs flash their brights at people and commit violence as part of gang initiation” thing that was going around the internet for a long time.

Some… Read more

$400 million for 2,000 jobs... maybe just hand out $2k to a random 200,000 Ohio low income residents and it will be immediately spent in and boost the local economy instead of handing it to grifters who will just find a way to pocket it and walk away. Read more

The PHEV won’t arrive in North America until they are manufactured here. 2026 at the earliest. Source: local dealer GM. Read more

I spent a life in the car business. Having seen and been in the middle of many disputes, I am just as skeptical of customer claims as I am of dealers trying to play innocent. But in this case, the guy got bamboozled. He didn’t understand the documents; the salesman KNEW he didn’t understand them. In fact, I would bet… Read more

Makes sense. The illuminated Mercedes logo is already the pre-requisite option for the leased CLA crowd here in LA. After all, how else will you let everyone know your entry-level “luxury” car is a Mercedes?

Part of the problem is that people backing into spots these days have their eyes glued to their dash instead of looking where they are going.  Read more

The spots are angled near 40 degrees or so, making it fairly easy to back in. The only issue is if you don’t signal beforehand and the car behind you comes too close to let you reverse. (Or if you do signal beforehand but the car behind you is an idiot.) I think the idea is that since these are usually on the side of… Read more

Apparently there’s a Nightmare Fuel NPCs faction, too

Agreed on the market possibly turning back around. I bought my under-10k-mile 4V Blackwing pretty well under KBB. When I went in with the finance guy my intrusive thoughts won and I asked “so how much are you making on me”? Apparently, they were taking a $6k hit as they had purchased the car far too high off trade in h… Read more

Thanks for letting me serve as an example. This is a great honor for me. Back to the topic, these are not just toys. The models we build have 2-speed gearboxes, gearboxes separating the drives, differentials and differential locks - you can also be tempted to disconnect the drives. The suspension in more modern models…

The government has a legal mandatory requirement to citizens to purchase a for-profit product but corporations don’t have a legal requirement to provide it. Read more

I don’t support this behavior but Jim Riley’s reaction seems a bit over the top. He almost “passed out” from the sight of it. Read more

Tom Layton here, the original Plaintiff. What you all must know is that the auto auctions prohibit buyers from bringing scan tools on to auction property. Therefore, you must believe what the auctions claim. Furthermore, of the 500 or so FedEx vans I personally purchased 99% of them were purchased on-line facilitated… Read more
