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? M2 doesn’t “swing dicks” would have to be an M8 or M8 vert

The 50k mile Camaro was like 650k NYC Crown Vic taxi status. I believe it … I posted here about the fake Poorsche I rented as well. It was cockster that was advertised as a cockster S… the seats were all cracked … the steering wheel was sandpapered … It was full of sand … like every frunk was sandy...

Dude does some BS in pharma and his "wife" runs a daycare. I don't see them as dickswingers. Dickswingers drive a Urus or a G63. Not some bavarian knock off sports SUV that isn't even the top trim. Or nowadays or probably soon, Cybertruck. I just heard a rumor where 4 roomies split lease ...

Its something about the combo of saltwater/constant rain and brutal sun + being loaded with tourists to the brim that just absolutely wrecks them. IMO it's a unique durability study for OEMs... just pull apart a 2 year old car from hawaii to see 10 years of real world use.

I rented a Nissan Armada with 39K miles on it in Hawaii. "Tahoe Class Vehicle." It was.......a pile. Rear suspension sag big time, resulting in near tuck with 4 passengers and luggage. Handled vaguely even accounting for its barge status. Thirsty. Ugly. Some mediocre design components lik...

I could see that for sure. I got that car seat fully installed in here. It just barely fits behind the passenger seat with the passenger seat slid all the way up.

That's a really good over rev report, from what I'm seeing?
I tried to google it as I am no P car expert, it seems like level 4 is already bad? but I could be wrong. Also what a weird thing to track.

No clue, I have yet to contact a single dealer.

I'll most likely buy used, so they should be better on the pricing. Less :dillerman: tricks.
