Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Yeah it's ugly, probably trying to embody some Bentley vibe or something. Why not just buy a Benzo at that price tag. I bed they won't sell many

I like them. But 120k+ and questionable Korean ev tech all underneath that
I hear ya! It's basically a rich person status symbol that never leaves the pavement.

My van-love is probably the same mental disorder experienced by some pickup truck buyers. Bigger is better, for when that space is occasionally (rarely) needed.

I agree with :dat: , but I'm weirdly turned on by their ugliness. No, I don't think I would sepuku if owning and operating a :minivan: I'd probably add stickers for scene points and love that swizz. Price :doe: I mean, it's no more/less seppuku than a Pilot, Highlander, etc. Just not really my thin...

I know that I'm not the only one here who secretly loves minivans. I'd get one in a heartbeat if they weren't expensive and heavier on gas then my hybrid Camry. The equivalent engine configuration in a new Sienna commands almost twice the price. :luda: I definitely have given up on cars, not so muc...

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

So did the meds fix the stuffy sinus issue, and there is a second problem that requires surgery? Or is that all related to the same problem? I think I have the same thing, but an over the counter medicated nasal spray clears me up for 12 hrs, and then it comes back again partially or fully. I'm try...

If I was certain I would probably already buy one… I want the big boy RR the most. But it costs 3k a month I am not advocating for buying this or making dumb decisions, but your prior struggles with vehicle purchases/decisions of what you want/keep seem to come from continuously talking yourself in...

Impressive! Close race, I'd go with the cheapest i4 option first, and Taco or IX depending on which one brings me more joy as a close second, probably end up driving the wife's i4 to work more often then not if I got the IX. Defender doesn't appeal to me enough to trade for the taco, tbh. Both are c...

Number crunch the gas cost + depreciation vs lease cost on a second EV... if they are about the same then pick the one you like driving better. Might be a tight race after all.

If your Tacoma seat can go back to its normal driving position, then maybe that could work ok too. The cyber truck buy would be the coolest option IMO Tacoma works as a kid hauler... I tested it out and I would strap the kid in with a belt in the middle. The issue is... the wife can't drive it... s...

Par for the course here in my neck of the woods, which is absolutely insane with recent interest rate offerings from the banks. But somehow we keep chugging along.
