No smoking toddlers? THANKS OBAMA

ND. As sexy as these things can be, this one looks a bit tired and neglected. The lamps are faded and cloudy, the rear lights are scruffy, and the paint is in dire need of a good correction. I think this thing spent a good number of years outside. And the hood/trunk fitment seems a bit off, too, though that could just…

Automakers are going to have to come to the realization that the car market is going the same direction as watch market did. Digital watches and smart watches are quite useful for every day wear, but there is a reason that Rolex and other luxury watch manufacturers are not making digital watches. Analog and…

Sorry, I didn’t test that. 

Another counterpoint:

WAIT!!!.

Counter-counter point.
The Caliber was legitimately awful. IDK how Daimler(silent Chrysler) ever released it.
I had one for a rental, and I’ve never been more legitimately scared to drive than in a Caliber trying to merge onto a highway. 

Counterpoint: none of these are terrible. They’re all perfectly adequate, perfectly average cars from their period in history.

Similar story, but one generation forward. In my case it was the C4 Corvette. During the 80s and 90s it was the fast American car, with some exceptions. It was shown it movies, TV shows, car magazines, it could race against Ferraris and Lamborghinis, ect. Now most C4s lose at the stoplights against minivans. 

So many.

My dad had an 82 Trans Am and it was the coolest car in the world to me. The t-tops blew me away. 

I was a latch-key kid of the 80s with parents going through a divorce, but even those factors don’t excuse or explain my love of GM’s plastic-clad performance variants. Grand Prix, Beretta GTU, Eurosport VR... it’s amazing that I’m a functional adult.

In 1982, this was the coolest thing little me had ever seen. But oh boy were they terrible from performance to quality, everything:

a friend has a Ridgeline and I think it’s aesthetically inoffensive and a perfect paragon of truck design otherwise; it’s absolutely as much truck as 95% of people need.

You picked about the most flattering pic for the ‘Yota. Whatever trim has the grill surround in silver.. oof.

I agree the GMC looks better. Other than the obvious front end I can’t stand those side mirrors. The new Colorado looks good. 

Shut up and take my money.

Because it’s all just virtue signaling. His crowd is very much the “NUTHIN IS MADE IN AMERICA ANYMORE” type that drives a Dodge Ram clad with Chinese-made wheels and light bars and a wE tHe PeOpLe sticker on it.

A buddy of mine had a C6 Z06 Vette and Ferrari 430 Scuderia. He got the 430 as payment in a real estate deal.
