I think the real story here is that someone in the Rust Belt is still out dailying a 1992 Dodge Dynasty.
Sigh. I still think they should’ve killed GMC, which at the time and arguably still offered nothing that wasn’t redundant at best (and a total rebadge at worst—looking at you, Sierra) to Chevrolet. But alas, I wasn’t in charge.
At least the Delorean, while objectively shit, was attractive. This boomer faux hot rod with an underwhelming powertrain lifted from a family sedan isn’t even that. The Prowler makes the Can Am Spyder Roadster seem cool.
Former Third Gen Firebird owner here. They’re not comfortable or well built, but to say they don’t handle well is a bit of a stretch.
As it should be.
To be fair, that ton is just six 333.3 pound guys who give the rest of the cops a bad name. They call them the bad apples, due to their penchant for wolfing down apple fritters like Tic Tacs.
More reliable than an old Jaguar? High praise indeed.
The answer is always Miata. The NC looks like a surprised face emoji.
Look, I’m not here to say that was an awful take, but when your comment has six stars and the 19 replies all saying how wrong you are have a collective 334 stars, that's not a great ratio.
Can’t wait to pay the dealer an additional $500 markup on our next car purchase for catalytic converter VIN etching.
It smells like a Black Ice tree air freshener is failing to cover up the aromas of Pall Malls, french fry grease, and sweat.
Car and Driver once referred to GM's turn signal stalk feel as "snapping wine glass stem" which has always stuck with me.
The hilarious* thing about people complaining that gas prices were higher in 2021 than they were in 2020 is that...of course they were. We had a goddamned global pandemic! No one was driving anywhere. I was deemed an “essential employee” and able to travel to work, but I would see a handful of other vehicles on my 40…
S13E7: “An Ending.” Clarkson being thoughtful instead of boorish, beautiful cinematography and music, and an Aston ripping down B roads. It’s from 14 years ago, but if anything it’s more relevant today given the rapid shift towards electrification. The times, they are a changin’. If either of my children end up being…
Sorry I’m late. I’ve been working. RIP Trevor.
I came here to say long live the minivan, except we just purchased a Pacifica last month. Drove everything but the Carnival (which was pretty much unavailable). It’s versatile (Stow and Go really is the bee’s knees) and everyone loved it. It’s no racecar but it’s quick enough with the Pentastar, it cruises quietly and…
300K should get me a nice unmolested FD RX-7 (an early one with the all red interior in silver for 50-60K). Then spend the rest on the nicest 440 4-speed 69 Charger R/T I can find.
I came here to mention the Volare/Aspen. It was replacing the Valiant/Dart line, which, while long in the tooth, we’re still dependable and durable entry level cars. The F-bodies, though, were turds, rushed into production and with terrible quality control. Most notoriously the dipped the entire body shell in…
Big, wide rectangular speedometers that take up the whole gauge cluster like American cars used to have in the 60's to early 80's.
