In no particular order:

16 fresh spark plugs, a new serpentine belt, and a new AGM battery. Fun fact: it's under the passenger seat.

It’s also been reported as stolen.... http://1079ishot.com/red-convertibl…

They are giving the Fast and Furious crowd the transmission from the movies!

Which tempo is best tempo? Yours. Seriously. The graphics, the cheesy song, the voice... it’s all 80s and that defines that car.

It gets worse:

Jackie Stewart and the Ford Tempo

Having just purchased your books and finished one, Plays with Cars, I’m sad to hear you’re leaving Jalopnik. Best of luck on your new gig and I look forward to reading your new content!

1st Gear: Having a strong quarter profit that beat expectations doesn’t necessarily mean they have the “strong forward thinking” that investors crave in a marker filled with turmoil.

Nissan Rogue silhouette, VW headlights, Honda Pilot Grille, Rav4 Dash, Tesla Infotainment system. I guess they just copied and pasted things they liked?

Yes. Agreed.

BAHAHA! You really think I’m being paid by FCA?

I am a Jeep owner. :)

Fair point.

My point is that it’s not the manufacturer. It’s the driver. Again, it’s sad, I hate that a young life was taken, as well as a handful of others.

You’re free to think that. But that’s my stance and I’m sticking to it. I think you’re blowing it out of proportion by saying “having designs that by default case mistakes.”

Good to know. I’m not denying that FCA could have build such a safeguard, but why does it have to exist? Are people just that daft?

Yup. It would be my fault if I screwed that up. Every driver has the responsibility of knowing how to operate their motor vehicle. It’s a privilege and not a right. And as such, you should know the ins and outs of your vehicle in order to keep you and others safe.

You said you’re assuming that it does this. But have you every driven an Audi A8? Thus far, only one person has chimed in saying they have and commented on the shifter being similar to operate as FCA’s application.

What’s a gimmick? Do you even know what you’re talking about? Chrysler sourced the shifter from ZF. After 2 years of complaints from owners, they changed the shifter, having to redesign consoles. That’s not something done overnight.
