The honeymoon for EVs is over. Personally, I’m stoked because my Polestar lease is almost up and I’m going to get a Mach-e for probably half of what I’m paying now. The discounts are getting crazy!

That ain’t nearly enough of a discount to roll the dice on a former rental car, especially a rapidly depreciating EV. 

Half-assed engineering causing a ton of weird shit to go wrong is a rich Thunderbird tradition that stretches all the way back to the second-generation cars. It just wouldn’t be a T-Bird without it!

You may exclude the 9th-gen Fox and 10th-gen MN12 cars from this list since they were made from pretty standard-issue…

These RV manufacturers can’t even properly screw a fucking cabinet together. How do you think they’re going to do with the complexities of a hybrid RV?

Yes.

So it had what could have been an interesting engine with hard-to-find parts replaced with a boat anchor Cologne 2.8 that is also no longer easy to find parts for. Um, great?

“...certain oil-cooler issues are difficult to detect...”

It’s a car. It runs and is in good shape. It has a red velour interior. The price is nice.

I know the second-gen xB threw a wrench in the formula, but it doesn’t deserve quite so much hate. I got one in 2009 and it was inexpensive to buy, cheap to run, easy to maintain, reliable, and practical as all get out. I only did oil/fluid changes, pads and rotors, and one set of transmission speed sensors in 200K+…

Why you guys keep referring back to that stupid ass video of bros destroying trucks like it was some kind of scientific test is beyond me. 

Yes.

Holy fuck, that’s ugly. And is it based on a W123 Mercedes wagon? Looks like one with a Bentley grille tacked on it. 

The idiots that vote for these people are too dense to absorb that and would find a way to deny it or blame it on democrats, even while they write the check for their ever-increasing insurance bill.

You're conflating "tech bros" with "people who live in the bay area." The tech bro ethos is 100% compatible with Musko. People, on the other hand, have had it with his shit.

High-strength license plates and aircraft-grade self-tapping sheetmetal screws work well if you’re looking for a permanent repair. 

If you live in a community that’s comprised of endless rows of beige McMansions, you should expect this sort of thing and get the beige McMansion with a three-car garage.

I can’t wait to see one with the bumper hanging halfway off and hood held down with duct tape blasting between lanes on the highway at 90mph on two space- saver spares.

I think the cig burns on the seats support at least one of them. 

My wife saw a motorcycle with a sidecar driving down the road the other day and said, emphatically, “I would never ride in a sidecar.” I sent her this one and she said she’ll make an exception. 

You know the interior of that car reeks of cigarettes, McDonalds fries, and musty old man farts. One of those car interior cleaning YouTube channels is the only logical buyer for this stank ass old turd.
