TWA is gone. The last surviving symbol of this once noble airline (sarcasm here) is being dismantled. And Carl Icahn, the one responsible for TWA’s destruction, is still around.

Jalopnik slideshows are the auto-related technology that annoy me the most.

Well, yes and no. I had already invested $3k in the motor, so I thought I can’t just “lose” that money up front, so I decided to risk a bit further. Needless to say, it didn’t pan out... but I couldn’t see a better choice for a “new” motor, you know?

You might be thinking of the Charger/Turismo twins, which debuted as the O24 and TC3 respectively. Those were derived from the Omni/Horizon.

Safety is an excuse. Honda can still provide visibility and 5 star crash ratings. Styling is the real reason, with some people thinking a “chopped top” looks cool.

Do you mean mistaking the accelerator for the brake?

Maple Majestic sounds like a limited time menu offering at Tim Horton’s

damn if turning a key is hard what do emergency steering manouvers look like in traffic?

The lack of visibility. That seems to be widespread but isn’t really a feature. I have to crane my neck to see around my rear view mirror and all the sensors when going around on-ramps.

I also like the bolted down lawn chairs

This whole “ev startup grift” (patent pending) is eventually going to devolve into people just publishing sketches with specs scribbled on then, and then have an IPO the following week.

But how do you really feel about his car?

The “coherent” thing is a really nice touch, good job. File under H. 

That’s where I am.  This is a somewhat interesting car, but you wouldn’t give it a second look in the 80's, and you shouldn’t now.  At least not for this price.  Somewhere in the $4k range considering the good condition and low miles.  

What is it with people with 80s-era economy cars thinking they are somehow worth serious money 30 years later, just because they sidestepped the crusher?

Cherokee County was named by the Cherokee people as that is where their tribe is now located after the Trail of Tears. So regardless of if Jeep named it after the tribe or the place, they are still appropriating the tribe’s name.

As someone who has driven four Cherokees, and nothing but Jeeps for the past decade-plus: good. Why not? Seriously, what’s the harm in changing the names of these products? I’ll go debadge my XJ right now if it makes someone’s life easier, or makes them happier. The Cherokee name matters more to Cherokee people than…

There are plenty of tractors you can buy. They just tend to be fancier with leather seats and even more electronic gadgets. Off the top of my head I could list Land Rover, Jeep, Recently Ford with their Bronco and I’m sure many more. Just check out your local shopping mall parking lot for inspiration.

Sounds about white

Good point on the roof racks. Its pretty easy to load skis/bikes/canoe on the roof
