“Ford Flex: An Androgynous Box for Carrying Your Airbags Around.”

Also, there’s a difference between union bashing and UAW bashing.

Throw in some coke-smuggling to hit the trifecta.

I’m not suggesting that 95% of the cars on the road will vanish if public transportation were to become available, affordable, and free of disease. Some people will always want personal transportation, and there will be an industry to support that. But there are enough people who don’t care about cars any more than…

Neutral: Nissan has been a part of my life in some form or another, since before I was even born. My dad emigrated to Canada in the early 1970s, decided he wanted to be a mechanic, and was given an opportunity by the local Datsun dealer. As a child, he was a master technician and later a service manager, moving to…

95% of the people who own cars in the US are not enthusiasts. This should be obvious by the ever-increasing market share of the SUV/CUV and pickup segments. If given a better option for personal transportation, they’ll take it.

I live in a barbaric state with no smog checks, so I didn’t even think of that.

In other words, these cars are the time-adjusted equivalent of most of the overvalued, unremarkable 1950s and 60s boomer crap that sells for big money at any televised auto auction. I’m not saying that nostalgia for one decade is any better than it is for another (because nostalgia is nothing more than a hindrance to…

Take a look at the background in the photos and the state on the license plate, and understand that the seller has never once considered that, for obvious reasons.

I agree completely; old almost never means historic. That said, most states will issue a historic plate for any vehicle that’s over 25, and I do believe that lowers your registration costs, in addition to making the car eligible for classic car insurance, which also costs less. If I were so inclined, I’d be driving a…

1990 is as far away as 2050.

Conspiracy theories are believed and spread by insignificant people, to make themselves feel more important.

This is a “collector” car in a world where you get a prize for collecting all the venereal diseases at once.

That statement makes sense, but only in the simplest terms. Yes, the Legend was a successful model. But the dealership did not say “Legend” on the sign. Meanwhile, if you asked a BMW owner what they drove (you didn’t really need to since they would make sure to tell you without your asking), they’d say the brand, and…

I feel it’s fair to point out that a large part of why Kia sells 90K+ Optimas per year is that your dog can walk into a Kia showroom and get approved for Tier 3 financing.

In the early 1990s, Acura saw that as a problem. Legend owners would say “I drive a Legend” instead of “I drive an Acura.” So they went alphanumeric, and everything’s gone downhill since.

On any incentivized new vehicle there is a set date (as defined by the manufacturer) when no further incentives will be offered. This obviously varies based on numerous factors, but remaining dealer inventory is probably the biggest one. Manufacturers don’t want to leave their dealers sitting on dead inventory, but…

After several years in the industry, I met many bros of that sort. Women who know nothing about cars (and this is NOT all women, I should point out) generally listened to our advice, and were eager to learn (or at least appeared to be) when I explained, or better still, showed them what was going on. Most guys, not so…

I’ve had Uno, Gino’s Giordano’s, and maybe another I can’t remember, but prefer Lou’s over all of them. If there’s a better place I haven’t heard of/been to, I’ll gladly check it out next time I’m there.

I heard that from a BMW X3 owner, when I explained that noise was coming from the seized brake caliper wearing the cooling vanes off of their right-rear rotor.
