It's actually $307/month + $5700 down. And that's for 10k/miles a year. Hyundai Ioniq5 & 6 are better deals and better cars.

Fully loaded Prius Crime is the same price as the starting price for a Model 3, $39K $299 a month lease bruh. Buying is for suckers at the moment. With 7% interest rates and savings accounts paying $5.5% It's actually $307/month + $5700 down. And that's for 10k/miles a year. Hyundai Ioniq5 & 6 ...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Agreed. A Coxster or Corvette is the used play here unless you're a 'collector'. Also, after driving a Guilia for a week, I was really just loving the 86 last night. I know feeling everything in a car isn't for most in this :truk: world we live in, but man, I love it. Guilia is a very enjoyable car...

Just got a quote to replace all the original stuff at the house. $20k. It's a dual system: 3 ton main system, with a natural gas furnace, plus a 2-ton heat pump with the air handler wedged in the ceiling in an attic space on the second floor. My father-in-law works in commercial HVAC. Think I'm goin...

MrH's Garage Carousel

Got a nail in a tire this weekend. Luckily it was an easy plug. Been getting software updates at a rate of about 1/week now. They're slowly getting everyone caught up. There have been some leaks about new stuff coming to 7.0 that will hopefully happen in the next month or two. Looks like their firs...

Quotes are broken for me. In response to D Griff: I'm 6'2", and have had an NC miata, 2 BRZs, and an S2000. I know the feeling. SAWCE is like The Hulk though. I do love that gen Mini though. I had 2 friends in high school with them. I was always blown away how well packaged they are. I could si...

The teal Trailhunter is great. That would be my pick. I am so confused by their lineup though. So much overlap between 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and GX. Land Cruiser and 4Runner especially. Same exact size, same power train, all the same tech... I'm guessing the Land Cruiser will be slightly more expen...

I'm confused by this whole thing. I give Mrs. H full decision making over a lot of things we do: all decorating for the house, what renovation projects get priority etc. When it comes to cars, she knows that's my world and gives zero shits about what I drive. Hell, she even let's me have a large inp...

So I’m making a list of sports cars that would be within each price bracket that are decent … 1. GR86 (30-40k) 2. Miata (30-40k) 3. Type R Shitvic (40-50k) 4. GT premium (50k) 5. M2 (60-70k) 6.

Z4 with a manual is a really, really good suggestion IMO. Jimmy Jam wins. Better looking than the Supra and M2. Convertible. Probably the best looking BMW offered currently?

The C8 should look better than it does. There is some Pontiac Grand Am Plastic genome in that thing. Also I wouldn't own one for a week without tossing the square tipped exhaust and installing BROLA.

I want them to build Z06s non stop, so they'll be attainable on the used market in a couple of years. I think I've written off GT3s as ever being obtainable, but there's a chance enough Z06s are made that they'll depreciate quite a bit when the next hot thing comes out. It seems like a regular C8 w...
