Bronco or Blazer? I daily an 80s K5 with the removable rear hard top. This would immediately be top of my list for next vehicle if it was sold like that....but without the graphics.

Only 16k more for less truck in 5 years huh? Well that must be inflation and certainly not price gouging. Somewhere between the manufacturer and the dealerships is a giant un-lubed dildo targeted directly at the customers.

Oh those aluminum front axle caps. Who thought that was a good idea? Lets use a weak metal to make a floating part with high stress at the thinnest point. What could go wrong?

I’m not surprised. I made the mistake of buying an FCA product thinking maybe they had upped their QA since the late 80s. Nope. Didn’t even have an FCA motor in it (cummins with the merc transmission) and it had 8 recalls in the first two years and left me stranded once with a perfectly running engine that refused to…

A bonneville being unreliable? The devil you say. Yeah, cold weather starts. Fighting with the carbs. The heads puking oil over 75mph. Random electrical gremlins. Every now and then she kicks back hard enough to literally break your ankle if you aren’t ready. Steel exhaust mounts just snapping in half... Trying to…

Oh certainly, but I wouldn’t want a goldwing for my daily commuter or for the size in my garage, or for the 4 times a year I go motorcycle camping and the ibex does everything well, just not the best.

I don’t disagree with a lot of the comments but I bought an ADV bike last year and it is the most comfortable highway bike I’ve ever owned. Now I bought the touring spec one which has 80% on road tires, heated seat, heated grips, big heavy luggage on the back.

The irony of the Dodge Dart is it “should” have sold in droves. It wasn’t much more expensive than the Neon at lowest trim and the Neon came out 15+ years earlier. If it had been marketed as a cheap throw away car like the Neon was, and dealers kept a ton of base models in stock, it might have been ok.

1991 GMC Syclone. I bought it in 97 or 98. Just a ridiculous vehicle and I loved it so much. The turbo lag gave other cars hope at stop lights and it would haul furniture...at very unsafe speeds.

Yes, this does highlight how awful the other cars were in that era as well. The 1984 C4 Corvette made 205 horsepower and ran 0-60 in 7 seconds.  That’s just slightly slower than a 4th gen Toyota Camry.  

The C4 is pretty widely accepted as the worst corvette, in both style and performance...and don’t even get me started on that 4+3 abomination they called a transmission.  They are ugly, like to overheat, and don’t really handle either.  Go for a late C3 or a C5 for way better looks or way better performance.

A cherokee vs a compass isn’t exactly an apples for apples comparison. Also spending 38k for a 94 K1500 would be insane, since they weren’t worth nearly that back then and this would be assuming a similar depreciation curve. 38k for a 25k truck that will be worth 10k in 7 years is kind of a crazy way to think.

Prices are going up for stuff in the 80s and 90s. It is what it is. I have a 89 K5 blazer that my parents bought new for about 22k. I have no intention of ever selling it but it’s value rises steadily and I wouldn’t even consider less than 20 for it today.

Almost 4 decades on two weeks. Never heard any justification or explanation for the wave. People wave differently. Mostly you’ll get a hand down below the bars simply because it keeps you from sticking your hand up into the wind beyond where the bike is blocking it. It’s simply an acknowledgement from one rider to…

I never recommend or discourage anymore. People just want you to confirm their awful choice they already made that has nothing to do with what they actually need.

The silver bezel around the idrive screen looks really out of place. Like the rest is exceptional but the screen looks like an afterthought cut into the dash by the install dudes at the local Pep Boys.

Somehow that is simultaneously the ugliest Porsche and least useable minivan ever. That’s almost impressive. It looks as long as full size pickup.

You’d be surprised at how many cars will fit 3 car seats. It might be tight, it might take some interesting tetris, but unless you have triplets, you probably dont have all 3 in huge infant seats. We managed 3 in a lexus NX, and even my bmw I3 for a very short time. Over a year in my old squarebody blazer (we had to…

Jesus a bunch of these comments make for a cathartic read. I’m certainly not making light of anyone’s awful experiences but as an ex soldier and air traffic controller for 25 years, when big shit goes wrong: ok, let’s get this fixed.

We paid just under MSRP at 53 for a woodland. Looks like the highest end with everything is $57,270 before they literally force you to take port and dealer add-ons.  I thought they spec’ed over 60 and sit corrected.  Carry on good sir.
