    I was at the Overland Expo in AZ 2 or 3 years ago, and Land Rover had one of their off road demo courses going. And sure enough, one of the options you could drive the course with was an Evoque Cab. In orange.

    The Murano CrossCab almost makes the Range Rover look good, in comparison.

    killing time browsing some used cars. Interesting that the local guy I follow seems to still be doing decent business. New stock showing up, and quite a few listing showing as sold or pending.

    this one I actually liked. Looking in that not too expensive, but also still not too old, and well equipped. Nice loaded CUV, not terrible miles, for less than 10K OTD. Could get plenty of use out of this one, especially as a 2nd car.

    Nice upscale version of the Edge. I’d be a little wary of the 3.5L engine if it has the chain driven water pump. There’s a page floating on the internet somewhere for lawyers suing Ford which lists all the cars/years that are involved. Can’t recall offhand if that was one of them.

    The MKX is basically an Edge. Apparently, the power transfer units on those are expendable and not cheap to fix. I test drove an Edge before buying the Murano I had, and the Edge was somewhat more refined. Went with the Murano due to previous good experiences with Nissans.

    I think someone has posted an EX35 like that before... In later years, it got the bigger engine and became the EX37. I'm sure it's a hoot to drive, because it's built on the same platform as the G.

    That’s a pretty good price. I’ve been looking at 8-11 yo sedans and I’ve noticed even Carvana is cutting prices a bit. This might be the time for anybody to put the trigger.

    My Mother In Law has an Edge. It drives very smooth and has a well thought out & nicely crafted interior. The headlights (halogens) are awful. She leases and pays about $450/month (36/15K 1st/Reg/Bank Fees DAS with Taxes Rolled in). I'm going to try to get her into a LH Volvo XC60 when her lease is up in August.

    I’ve always liked those. It seems they were the first compact SUVs I remember. Indeed quick, and the ones I drove were always decked out well.

    Nissan/Infiniti would have served themselves well by continuing to modernize and update them, vs the ones they have out now, which seem to have had tepid response.

    yup. Their intent used to be "sporty," and they were doing pretty well with that, it seemed. What really boggles my mind is how they had so many issues with their CVTs over the years, yet decided to put them in everything and decrease HP across the board. Who the heck are they trying to appeal to with that move??

    Caveat: they’re more reliable if the fluid gets changed. I don’t think that’s on the factory recommended maintenance list, but a lot of the quickie lube places will recommend that and a bunch of other, less useful, services.

    Aircraft boneyard. A measure of the slowdown in the airport visitor traffic for car rentals is that the backside of the local airport has had between 12-15 American Eagle CRJ2's from what I could see for the last several weeks. AND Saturday there were round 10 similar craft with the United tail parked there. But a few of the Eagle craft were gone.

    This part of the airport was a freight operation with lots of airplane pad area when Emery Airfreight was operating.

    I thought it was a natural fit for hertz to supply cars for Uber, etc. I know it’s technically Supposed to be a side hustle, but long since moved past that. And yes it essentially turns hertz partly into a fleet supplier for a taxi company!

    My buddy who works for Hertz has been called back to work to move cars from NY to a variety of auction houses in CT. They may be dumping them for whatever the market will bear in order to raise cash.

    I don’t see business travel ever coming back the same way, which itself, will impact how companies like Hertz, Enterprise, etc return. Consumer travel is not the business boon that business travel has been. Business travel will come back because some is truly necessary, but not like we have been.

    Certainly a car like that Boxster would need a thorough PPI (along with more sensible wheels/tires), but it is likely that it never saw salt in Quebec and Ontario, especially given the miles shown. Most owners store those in the winter in those climes.

    Enterprise has it’s finger in every pie imaginable. They lease to Uber drivers, although how anyone makes money driving Uber on a lease I don’t know. They even run car pools for businesses. Just before the shutdown we were moving dump trucks and 24’ straight box trucks into a new construction rental operation.

    I can’t wait to go back to work even though I’m going to be getting 3X more sitting home.

    Today's random craigslist posting is a funny one. Canadian car, now in the US, 6MT, non-standard wheels, custom seat leather, low miles, clean carfax. Has sport chrono too. Price seems good, relatively. But dem wheels gotta go. Deal or no deal?

    Those wheels, oh my eyes, my eyes..

    Different topic. Over the weekend, I drove a smart car for the first time. Electric version. I know the gas ones have a rough rep because of the transmission, but the EV doesn't have those issues. It was way more fun to drive than I was expecting. The turning radius seems better than my touring bicycle, and it rides a lot better than the short wheelbase would lead you to believe. Plenty of elbow space inside, and I'm 6'2". Because it is slow, you can drive hair-on-fire style all the time and it really doesn't matter. And it doesn't feel slow anyhow, thanks to torque. Anyway, good times - drive one if you get a chance.
