JK I'm cash broke as fuck and gas taxes keep skyrocketing causing inflationary issues and artificially high interest rates. *le-sigh*

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Just tossing shit at the wall here... no decisions have been made. Was trying to see opinions outside of "EVs SUCK DIESEL RULES" here. We can't help it we live in flyover country, bro! I'd be pretty open to one EV in the house, I'd be curious to try one, but I don't really want one and I ...

How did suck air into the clutch fluid? This seems really weird.

Remodeling costs/finding a contractor etc

I do have one... but he is somewhat based in a more expensive location and his quotes have been too high compared to when I shopped around myself. I try very hard not to get into scope creep but it may be better to literally demo the entire fucking house at this point and rebuild... :yikes: So wher...

Inetersting what's the MSRP on that? My buddy just put a deposit down on a Sienna yesterday.. he is adamant on ass whistlers though. ~$37k or so. The EX trim is the next level up and is $40k, but aside from the wheels looking less shitty the only other thing it comes with that I'd care about is sai...

Yea... the singular screen is not my favorite either. I can say that the center screen and tesla UI as a counter point... is superior to any other car infotainment. It is incredibly intuitive, easy to use. I was literally thinking yesterday... M3 or Model 3... and the decision somewhat turned into ...

Remodeling costs/finding a contractor etc

For those of you that have done a major reno, can you share some guidelines? And how you went about doing it? Given the price of real estate around here and the lowerish mortgage rate, it seems cost conscious to do a remodel vs buying a nicer property. I have seen something around $450 a sq foot ou...

Yea there are about 3X as many homeless in SD over Chalotte. But I'd venture to say they are isolated to certain areas ... tends to always happen that way for ease of drug use. I guess that's the downside to the epic weather. Lax policies and liberalism more so than the weather. Our state is very F...

Have to agree with this. To add insult to injury the cost of a decent hotel room has tripled. Thanks for sharing, y'all. We have discussed visiting SD on numerous occasions, :tits: has never been. She is more and more uncomfortable in big cities, around homeless, etc. for some reason. It's funny, s...

I may end up on this list. So tired of the old POS. I drove a Carnival yesterday and honestly liked it quite a bit. It was the LX "with seating package", and for being a total poverty spec it had everything I'd ever need. The only thing it was missing was a power liftgate, which is pretty...

Theoretically speaking... outside of the "noises" what makes an M3 superior.. they are the same size and weight. And arguably the Tesla has far better weight distribution and weight balance for a "sport" sedan, so in theory it is dynamically superior. And it doesn't come with BMW...

Yes they will. But depends on production numbers too. If they make 500 of em, They will find suckers. 5k + doubt it. The new Tacoma that just launched is already 3k off at many dealers.
