Let's talk about cars

On the other hand, I must pay everyday just 2.50 Euro more for diesel. I can afford that and I do it for free Germany and Poland.

Its over $4.00 per gallon by me, the highest in history. And to add insult to injury our idiot President is now blaming all the inflation on Putin.. He takes zero responsibility after his policies created the entire situation.. Clown world!

Im glad my truck has a 6 cyl engine, it doesnt drink gas that badly.

Monday, I am going to try to fit into a 370Z. There are 4 in the area and within my price limit. Zero to 60 in 5.1s. I am getting sick of 4-door sedans since my wife already has that RX. My LS is not worth much so I will keep it. I think.

What did you decide to buy for yours?

I have to sell a car. Actually I don't need a new one because I have enough other cars.

Good question, Im not sure yet.


Now is the time to sell:)

Hey, Rich you said that you like to go bike riding during the summer, look what I did to mine.

It goes 34mph and is a total blast. Last summer I went 50 miles in one day and still had battery power left. Im going over hills, cruising down all the trails, seeing places you couldn't get to all in one day. You can either pedal or use the throttle. What kind of bike do you have?

Have you ever seen those guys on bikes wearing the tights? They hate me! Hahahaha

The kind that makes my heart ready to jump out after a while. 21-speed, $600. I need this kind to keep my leg muscles from wilting away.

Seems like a very fair price.
Is that for a "rebuilt" or a "Remanufactured" tranny ?
Rebuilt transmissions: Called "rebuilt" when the mechanic only fixed or replaced the worn-out (problematic) components of the system.
Remanufactured transmissions: Commonly referred to as a "reman", remanufactured transmissions are considered as "new" because all the original equipment and components were worked on (replaced).

Having an independent mechanic do the job will be a whole lot less than a Stealership.
You can buy a rebuilt on E-Bay and have it shipped to your mechanic for about $1600.

I think they are out of Knoxville, Tennessee

Remanufactured through a Lexus dealer - 5500 plus tax. Mine is being repaired at AAMCO. I get 12mo/12k warranty. I just want to make it saleable.

Very good choice. IMO
Replace it with this one.

Thanks, JR. That's exactly what I need and the price is right considering the mileage. I already asked them for CARFAX.

Can I ask why the booth has such weird shape?

I wanted to change my car this year but with this market I think I will stick with it

Aerodynamics for maximum gas mileage, Lenka.
That car gets 28 miles per gallon of gas or 45 kilometers per 3.8 Liters.
Not bad for a mid size car with all-wheel drive.
I can't wait to see the car fax Rich.
Has it been in a bad accident and repaired, has it been in a flood, where did it come from, has it ever been reported stolen, what repairs have been done on it, how many previous owners, etc.

P.M. me the car fax if you would Rich,
Also take note that that dealership deals in 95% pick-up trucks and not cars.


They are only going to go up in price next year.

What is "booth"?

I took it as something you sit in ????
Am I right ?

Could be "boot", what you Yanks call the "trunk"

The ad says it has clean CARFAX. Any accident with silver paint would be instantly visible.

Yes, Thank you

I would still like to know, How many owners it had, what State it came from, did it come from an Auction.........

I called three times and nobody answered. In the meantime, I went to see another GS350 close to me. It was a no-go because of the seats. They are too short for me so the edge is too far from my knees. I want that deep easy-chair feel of the old Caddies.

I still appreciate the lead.

@Novichok
Toyota (Lexus) is not for tall people only for Asians. The seats in my Corolla Verso were too short even for Tom Cruise.

LS models are better. The seat extends forward and is fine for me.

FINALLY!!!! "My Tesla made me do it, your Honor. I was just sitting there planning my next weekend with my girlfriend..."

In late 2019, Kevin George Aziz Riad's car sped off a California freeway, ran a red light, and crashed into another car, killing the two people inside. Riad's car, a Tesla Model S, was on autopilot.

The Los Angeles County prosecutors filed two charges against Riad, now 27. The case is also the first criminal prosecution of a crash involving Tesla's autopilot function, which is found on over 750,000 cars in the US. Meanwhile, the crash victims' family is pursuing civil suits against both Riad and Tesla.

Hey, a-hole, next time, you drive instead of texting your gf. I hope the family will strip you down to your underwear.

And my 10 years old Renault has automatic gearbox, cruise control, navigation with friendly woman voice, massage seat and i love it all. And my new car has an adaptive cruise control and i love it even more. I would probably love Tesla instantly if it wasn't an clectric car.

Anybody who does not have both eyes on the road and at least one hand on the steering wheel should be shot.

If that were the case there would be no young women driving, Rich.
I've seen young women with a cup of coffee and cigarette in one hand, a cell phone and lipstick in the other hand with a little dog sitting on their lap with music blasting while driving to the Mall.

And when they almost cause an accident and someone blows their car horn at them the little b!tches flip them off.
I feel so bullied by them and their 4,000 pound car. :-(
Poor johnny.

Another moron who should be shot without a trial is the guy who decided that I need seat and back bolsters. What the a-hole forgot is that I would like to breathe and wiggle my butt once in a while and that there is more to a car seat than plywood and a layer of fake leather.

Why I like the death penalty...From dailymail.com:

Boy, 13, was driving Dodge truck that slammed head-on into university golf team bus and killed nine including himself, his passenger, 38, six student golfers and their coach

The moron who gave this kid the keys should be executed only on that basis and without a trial. The good news is that both the moron and the kid are dead. After all, there is God up there - wise and just. Thanks, God, for your divine intervention.

The news in Germany has just reported about this accident, but they also told that in USA, especially in the coutryside, many children aged 13 drive cars.?🤔

I hope BMW and Audi move their production to Serbia and avoid destine of other German companies that becoming victims of recession.

Why should they move to Serbia. Why should they do that?
