So we found a ship that nobody wanted. Great?

Yeah, but the Bolt would still have way more range, more room, and just be an overall better value. Not nearly as cute, of course, but cute’s only gonna move (checks numbers) about 1,000 cars a year.

Car seats aren’t the problem, it’s the screaming little monsters that sit in them.

You ain’t wrong! That would be cool.

Stupid amounts of power and a lil truck bed? I don’t see how that wouldn’t print money.

A TSi Sportwagen will get you most of the way there with a little work!

The Brat? COME ON, it’s too cool to be ugly. And I think the D100 is kinda charming. The 58-60 Ford F100s, now those were freaking ugly. Those were some weird crossover years for Ford and everything they made were deformed mashups of 50s and 60s design language.

Time to build a stadium truck!

That sucks! Maybe throw one of those sensors and the tools to swap it out in the trunk just for shits and giggles. 

It 100% does. It’s probably because the working conditions are terrible and they don’t want to go in.

I’m going to assume that the call-out rate is so high because working for Tesla fucking sucks. Of course their heads are way too far up their own asses to figure out and address the root cause of the callouts and instead go all gestapo on their employees.

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+…
