  • Lou_BC Sweet car.
  • FreedMike With 157K miles, that's basically a beater that looks good. Plus, I heard Honda CVTs turn dicey with age. I'm a "no" at $12,500, but someone's heart will go all aflutter over the J-vin (Ohio-vin?) and pay up. With a manual in the same shape, I'd be in for a LOT less.
  • EBFlex More proof the EV world is crumbling. In a market with supposedly “insatiable demand”, these kinds of things don’t happen. Nor do layoffs.
  • Buickman 17 Lacrosse, 18 Enclave, 19 Stingray Drop.each Red, Tan guts.I just want to feel this moment, and I own it~ (them, sic)
  • FreedMike Dodge always had the best colors on the Challenger. I particularly liked Hemi Orange and Plum Crazy. Otherwise, give me Mazda's Soul Red.
