Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Looking at prices of used Camrys and Accords is mind blowing. $25k for a 2021 Accord with 50k on it that was $26k new is insanity. When you can find piles of BMW 330i, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Audi A5 Sportback etc for that same price with half the miles. I simply don't understand the used car market sti...

Well right dude. The "pound sand, we don't really want people to come anyway" is not part of the Turkish or Latin cultures. But it works for some whities. Smaller weddings are probably...better. Fuck I'll probably marry in the courthouse and save my fucking money. I used to work with hote...

Just got a text from my cousin last night that her wedding next year is in Turks and Caicos at the Beaches Resort. $500 per person per night and the hotel allows kids. :yuno: My family would disown me if I do that, unless im the one thats paying or reimbursing their travel expenses. Especially when...

Yeah fuck that. To me, the whole point of a destination wedding is to thin the herd while still “inviting” people. Thank god the couple who I thought would be getting married in Italy are just doing a courthouse wedding in SD in June this year instead. I don’t even have to go to that because Michel...

Shits gonna cost everyone like $2k to go. I'm of the opinion that if you're having a wedding that requires EVERYONE get on an airplane you should be paying for travel or the accommodations. Why is going to a wedding a requirement. Seems like this is done on purpose to keep the headcount low as a lo...

It's NOT a family car. It's a dickswinger tech bro car. Nobody buys that thing thinking it's going to go through consumables (mostly notably fuel) like a highlander. But if not for family, why not just get an M2 that is $50k less and better? Thanks for the input tiny sports car oxcart transmission ...

Yep, no keyless with start stop no P2. @ Max, my friend Eric in SF got the 2008 w/Pano and no P2. You can get a 2007 Mazda 3 Grand Touring........Bi Xenon.

I like the exterior color.
