:amazing: compare.
Just shows that I don't have enough money to not give a fuck about $140K. But I do have enought money to not give a fuck about $40K.
You should give a fuck about both

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

$299 a month lease bruh. Buying is for suckers at the moment. With 7% interest rates and savings accounts paying $5.5% I'd consider a Prius Crime a long term hold. Also, shelling out $40K for an acceptable appliance that gets 50mpg is fine with me. Paying $140K for a Porsche when that money spins o...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Yep, I'd rather have a Prius, but I think a Model 3 is quite a bit cheaper at this point. Also, I drove a 2014 Prius the other day. Holy shit, biggest POS I've driven in a long time. It feels like a 5K pound boat. Fully loaded Prius Crime is the same price as the starting price for a Model 3, $39K ...

You're not a man who is looking for cheap 0FG transport and has a knack for behemoth SUVs from a bygone era with plenty of brubs. A model 3 fills a different nieche. IMO it is the easiest to use, cheapest to own EV vehicle one can purchase in the USA today. And it CAN be significantly cheaper than ...

How is a Korean EV any better ? :nope: Sounds like you've read all the reviews I read a few.

I mean I had 2 teslas... and the new model 3 leases at $299... I think if I needed transport today in cali I'd pick the tesla hands down over any other sedan period. The value is hard to beat. But it is clearly not a very "desirable" vehicle in any way shape or form, other than saving money.

How is a Korean EV any better ? :nope: 5N looks good to me. Model 3 is a heinous crime against everything good and holy. Agree to disagree. The Model 3 is a better looking car IMO.

Eh … the new model 3 “plaid” is around the corner. Likely 1000lbs lighter and a far cheaper and easier to own alternative
But then you would have to drive a model 3, which is pure seppuku.

OK i am not alone in this... I always found the claims of "shit just hoses off" exaggerated with both the car and the wheels. Coated or not. I do find that dirt doesn't stick AS much to a coated car but it may be a marginal improvement at best... and it is a bit easier to clean. With whee...

I think the proportions of the C8 are off. So it only looks good if the color and all is just right. Yep. Which is kind of a turnoff if you're shelling out $85K. Gotta double it for a P car with an engine that sounds like a blender and send your salesman to Tahiti for life… and the SA every year

coating wheels and especially calipers is next level. I am a bit ocd when it comes to cars but not to that level. It's not like I clean and coat the calipers every wash. I do it every time I swap ramz since the wheel is off. It'd be stupid not to. Yea I hear you. Once the wheels come off its easy
