That would be a funny thing to have on a resume:

Why just a shitbox Nissan? Why not a slew of other cars that are unique to the Mexican market like the 3rd generation Dodge Ramcharger?

Jump starts were indeed easy and the cars did have a very nice and tidy well organized engine compartment.

Battery replacement for a Dodge Stratus (aliases include Chrysler Cirrus and Plymouth Breeze).

This is pushing the limits of the phrase “made it to production” but... the GM EV1.

Renault 5 EV 

I remind whomever is shotgun in my pickup of that.  1, I don’t want their stinky ass feet on my dashboard, and 2, I don’t want my insurance to have to shell out for their broken leg because they decided to literally put their foot in their own mouth.

Defensive driving. Always assume someone will be changing lanes into you, because they will.

I’ve been sideswiped by someone changing lanes in an intersection before, so I wait now. My apologies if you’ve ever been stuck behind me.

Aside from the obvious like cell phone use and such, there are 2 things which drive me absolutely bananas, and I believe it’s the same type of personality who engages in both:

I think you mean “during” airbag deployment. “After” makes it sound like the airbag is going to go off, then some time later the logo will jump up and slap you in the mouth.

I call bullshit.  No way a Dodge of that era was going 15mph reliably.

I am still patiently waiting for Mazda Furai tail lights to become common

I wouldn’t say it’s a must have, but game pass and the fast SSD are pretty nice.

Reminds me of when the MazdaSpeed3s started hitting the streets, there were kids zig-zagging down the straightaways everywhere.

I kinda disagree. Most minivans do 0-60 somewhere in the 7-to-8-second range, which has been considered the “acceptable” range of acceleration for the last few decades. Modern minivans also weigh north of two tons empty - all those safety features, ninja seats, and power accessories are bulky. All that and you still…

I really think the difference is in how the power is used. 300hp in a 2005 Mustang GT feels correct and adequate. 300hp in a 2005 WRX STi feels like a mountain lion is clawing your face off.

Good thing it’s “grounded to the ground” or else there’d be flipped Camrys all over the place!

When the 17 year old third owners start getting their hands on the Hellcats, I think that’s going to be the revelation for most people that 700 hp might be just a tad much. I can already hear the crying and see the lines at the local funeral parlor.
