Back home? Good trip?

Yes! Very! Life has been very busy since I got back. Now my mother in law is over.

I would start with that blinkin’ass sign on the back.

Welcome back, Dan. Hope to see photos soon.

I agree.

That is one of the ugliest vehicles I’ve ever seen.

I wasn’t going to say anything about the way it looks because of the price but it is boxy looking.

I don’t hate how it looks. I mean, it’s not beautiful but I don’t find it hideous.

The great thing about a car like that is that any damage you do to it will be an improvement upon its look.

That’s good you don’t think it’s hideous. Looks like a good deal.

Really? :thinking: What’s good about it? Why would you would buy one of those vehicles? It has a blinking neon sign on the back. Are you one of those weirdo’s that wants to control the road? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

15000 is good value, if you can get by the ugliness which doesn’t bother Reg. Even better deal if you like the look of it.

It’s an off-road life-size toy for boys with no rear wiper. Perfect for immature boys who just want to play in the mud. Reg doesn’t care because he can afford to purchase a vehicle like that strictly for off-roading but I’ve got 20 bucks that says he wouldn’t be caught dead cruising around town in it.

I wouldn’t buy one. I just don’t think it’s hideous. When I was 16 I bought a Suzuki SJ410 and this reminds me a bit of that. I’m not 16 anymore. These types of vehicles are no longer for me.

That is also ugly. As is the Honda element, which I think was discontinued

Funny, I kinda like the Element, too. Of the three, I like my 40 year old Suzuki the best.

I completely agree. They made it dog-friendly but unaffordable.

Probably a good idea for all cars. EV or not. Something practical from Audi?

I don’t think UAW could have timed their strike any worse. The big 3 from USA already have too many vehicles. Toyota and Honda do not and can jack up the price. Now, Ford, GM and Stellantis don’t have to pay for cars they don’t need to make right now. GM and Stellantis just laid off 2000 workers.

I think EVs will go down in price because Tesla keeps lowering their prices. Actually, EV prices have already gone down. Internal combustion will go up up and up so they can pay to make EVs since they have to lower EV prices due to Tesla.

The cheapest week to buy a car is the last week of the year, which is an odd time because a lot of us would be buying a brand new car in the snow and just spent too much on Christmas, but it is the cheapest. It’s better to buy at the end of 23 than beginning of 24.
