trio of ttac hacks lowers tone of lemons race

TTAC scribes have descended on MSR Houston from all corners of the globe (actually just Ohio, Texas, and Colorado), and we’re busily flashing the TTAC gang sign and spraying our tags on fools’ whips. Left to right, Sajeev “Big Chief” Mehta, Murilee “Judge Phil” Martin, and Jack “Plymouth Master” Baruth.

Sajeev has donned the robes of the LeMons Supreme Court, Jack is the ringer arrive-and-drive wheelman for the Tetanus (Plymouth) Neon team, and I’m doing whatever it is I do at these things. We’ll try to keep you updated on the happenings here in Texas, provided we don’t pass out from excess firewater consumption.

I'm. Still. Awake. I've been drinking all night and I busted up the rental car. Those two things are no related. Everything you guys think I did tonight, o did!

  For your own sake, raise your standards for "hot chicks", as where you are at right now is truly horrifying. Even if I am silently flattered.

Ajla So a $10K+ transmission repair?
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I've mentioned before about being very underwhelmed by the Hornet for a $50000+ all in price tag. Just wasn't for me. I'd prefer a Mazda CX-5 or even a Rogue.
MaintenanceCosts Other sources seem to think that the "electric Highlander" will be built on TNGA and that the other 3-row will be on an all-new EV-specific platform. In that case, why bother building the first one at all?
THX1136 Two thoughts as I read through the article. 1) I really like the fins on this compared to the others. For me this is a jet while the others were propeller driven craft in appearance.2) The mention of the wider whitewalls brought to mind a vague memory. After the wider version fell out of favor I seem to remember that one could buy add-on wide whitewalls only that fit on top of the tire so the older look could be maintained. I remember they would look relatively okay until the add-on would start to ripple and bow out indicating their exact nature. Thanks for the write up, Corey. Looking forward to what's next.
Analoggrotto It's bad enough we have to read your endless Hyundai Kia Genesis shilling, we don't want to hear actually it too. We spend good money on speakers, headphones and amplifiers!
