Are prices still insane? I looked a couple months ago and decided not to buy anything since the prices were outrageous.

Really close to pulling the trigger on my 4th motorcycle. Part of me says I'm too old for this shit. But on the other hand I love riding. Just not 100% sure yet.“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis Chapman

I don't think the woodworker inside him would allow for frivolous car expenditure. He stays in his Honda lane and gets to point a and b without knowing about a car out there that would so exquisite that it would ruin his life for all other cars.Originally posted by falafel View Post

It was solid advice to a guy with kids on a mission and kids at home - on a single income. Not everyone is like you - and do I dare say - me? I bet it was all you could do was not rep the KIA that you have - or is a Hyundai - I forget - because it's unremarkable.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

I have plans to go out on a motorcycle ride for my 90th birthday. I'm sure I'll have to have something that isn't as tall as my two current bikes by then.Originally posted by Copelius View PostReally close to pulling the trigger on my 4th motorcycle.

The local dealers around here have a lot of empty space in their showrooms where a couple of years ago you could barely get around all of the bikes jammed in there. At least the one where I bought my last two bikes is not adding additional dealer markup. And I appreciate them for that. But I expect that it will be quite a few years before I buy another bike, since I'm happy with what I have now.

It is a Kia Telluride and we love it! Solid value but really difficult to buy one. Demand far outstrips supply.Originally posted by clackamascoug View Post

My son has a Subaru Crosstrek. I think it is gutless and boring but everyone else loves it. It is a perfect car for him - all the safety features. He totaled his previous car (old Honda Accord).Originally posted by Pelado View PostSo let's say that I want to get a new vehicle. I'm considering something like the Outback (V6 or turbo). Is there anything in that segment that is a relatively good value right now?
My daughter just bought a loaded 2018 Subaru Outback for $20K + something. I like it a lot better than the Crosstrek. She and her husband are very happy with it."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I like the look of the exterior of the Crosstrek. I don't like the inside. Not comfortable enough and not roomy enough.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

Do you know which trim she got on the 2018 Outback? Is it the 4-cylinder or 6? I've heard the 4-cylinder is a bit underpowered. They discontinued the 6-cylinder starting in 2020. They switched to a turbo-charged 2.4 liter 4-cylinder."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

So I have been driving by this Ford dealership and they have one of those new F150 lightnings sitting out front. It has been sitting there for weeks. The asking price is about $81,000 but you would get $10K back ($7500 from the federal government in the form of a tax credit and a $2500 check from Texas for their EV incentive program). But would I rather have a GMC Denali with all the bells and whistles but paying that $4/gallon gas...
Well, yeah... The F150 lightning has only a 85 mile towing range compared to over twice the range with good old gas. That's a lot of long stops and doesn't save a lot more (for fill ups). Towing takes a lot of electrons. Maybe that is why that lightning is still sitting on the lot."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

Do they sell little electric trucks?

Mrs. NWC is salivating over the new hybrid Tundra. She loves her 2010 but driving to Cali, Montana, Alberta, and Utah later this year has her pining for 20 mpg. She gets 13 now…."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"?
