In 1955 I told my father to buy a Nomad, he went for the 4dr wagon but later admitted I was right.

We had a judge of all people have a “nervous breakdown”, his lawyers words! When the Police arrived and asked if he had been drinking he said he would have the cops badge, that never gets you better treatment!

We have had this discussion before, there needs to be a wine truck following the ice cream man :) Just a touchy issue with the state about having open containers in the vehicle :(

Who knew that the Aston-Martin DB had a pop up spoiler, that had to be either a performance or 007 option!

At the dealership we used to joke about; The loose nut behind the wheel!

The Chevy dealer I worked for took the opposite approach, when someone walked into the showroom and said I’m shopping Corvette’s/Camaro or a Mustang/Shelby the salesman would show and price them Chevy’s and then tell them to go see me in the Part’s Department and I would show them my GT-350 knowing full well I’d have…

Never heard it called dog tracking, we called it Crabbing and it was always the result of broken rear suspension bits or shade tree mechanics reversing a leaf spring.

Since this is FCA I’m assuming this is on a Jeep platform, so how much did they share?

Do that in NJ and I’ll guarantee you a BMW/Acura will use that as an express lane to the head of the line :(

Future Monday Meh Car, owners get bored and sell them after a few miles :(

Oh I’m feeling your pain, I was a parts manager for a dealership that had one of these as a service car with dealer plates on it so it didn’t need inspections which was a good thing, it never would have passed. You know why most drive with the door open, it won’t stay closed :(

I had a few customers with SM’s, all engineers who had mostly driven SAAB’s before and not being mobile usually wasn’t the problem. That was back in the day when foreign car owners were as interesting as their cars. Today it’s either they bought it because it was cheap or a status symbol :(

I’m glad they told us that’s a BMW because I might have mistook it for , maybe a Kia or the rebirth of the Yugo. Their styling department must be on vacation too, like Jaopnik every weekend doing reruns :(

Unfortunately this is not an isolated incident, around 1980 there “was” a transmission shop on 37 in Tom’s River NJ that was scooping up iron filings under the brake turning lathe at a local auto parts store, I think it was Norwood Auto Parts that turned them in.

I was working for Rover at the time, most Americans didn’t understand the Park/Side switch. We had a lot of customers come in complaining that half their parking lights didn’t work. French cars had the switch under the column, they’d bump it with their knee, same complaint.

I’m wondering how thin your walls must be that a crook could hear a voice inside :(

It’s all relative, my wife comments about how quiet and peaceful my home is in the NJ Pinelands compared to where she lived before.

As auto crosses go that’s a small course that favors small cars. I used to run at Pa., MD, NY and NJ events and that’s the smallest I’ve ever seen.

I was on an inter island flight in Indonesia that had roaches, one woman said the head wasn’t usable. What she meant was the fiberglass tank had a crack and you could see the blue shit floating around. They had put air freshener crystals in the sink so you couldn’t use that either.

Sounds right because I’m sure the Yugo production line uses pliers and quarters as it’s only tools plus that quarter upped the trade in value 25%
