Been there. Done that.

Long-term effect? Not much. How many people are still pissed off about the crankshaft pulleys falling off their Chevettes? How many people are still pissed off about their Vegas rusting to death in three years? How many people are still saying “Gumbmint Motors?” The answer, “Not enough to affect the bottom line.”

I did. This survey from ADAC shows otherwise.

What does “the government” do with the money from fines? Does the department that levies the fines get to keep it? Does it go to their budget?

A Fiat, re-engineered into a Chrysler product, and then built in Mexico? What could possibly go wrong with that? p.s., do I get points for not turning a Fiat into a cheap late-1960s Polish joke?

What does the government do with the money they collect in fines?

Yes, along with biscotti metallic, balasana pearl, tolasana matte, and ruby red metallic.

The words “batshit” and “Maserati” are redundant.

The rear-3/4 view hurts my eyes. It’s way to busy.

You mean “chai-latte” and not “tea,” whatever the hell that is....

You mean that you wake up every morning, slap yourself in the forehead and say, “I shoulda bought that Porsche.” ... Really?

I wouldn’t buy either the Mustang or this Porsche. What else ‘ya got that doesn’t have the Massengill brand on it?

It will still have its core of “green” buyers, but at the same time, replacing a Prius with another Prius is not exactly a “green” statement that fits into the mantra of “reduce, reuse, recycle.” So it’s kind of stuck.

In “Monte Carlo,” Herbie lets us know it’s okay to fall for a Lancia, even though we all know that’s a road to heartbreak.

Dean Jones was a great actor, and highly appropriate for the times. As for the early “Herbie” series, these are real gems for those of us who find European cars from the 1960s to be infinitely more charming than today’s exotics. Yes, the premise of a Beetle winning like that is just silly. So what? Another grossly…

Chrysler, with the rare exceptions of occasional brilliance, has “survived in mediocrity,” ever since I can remember.

Which New Fiat Chrysler Product Are You Most Excited About?

Really? That’s not what my flight instructor says. Good luck to you. There’s some rarefied air wherever your head is, but I suspect it smells like intestinal methane.

You could put the top up. Take it to an amusement park, put some ropes going up to it, and see if the interior inspires anyone to give you some ride tickets.

You seem to struggle with understanding the concept of “editorial consistency.” An enormous amount of Jalopnik’s newshole is filled with things that aren’t remotely related to automobiles, or the automobile industry. If you can’t see that on a day-t0-day basis, then so be it. I fail to understand why enormous amounts…
