My mother-in-law had one of these. It was this weird reliable but not at all reliable car. Everything was broken yet somehow worked. It was functional crap. Top got stuck? Pull/push it aggressively and hear it make really bad sounds, but then it will work again. Moldy smell because it leaked? You bet. Half of the trim…

I glazed over at “like new” with 50,000 miles.

Has a mother-in-law EVER listened to a son-in-law?  I don’t think so.

These are on a short list of worst cars ever made. Not just because Clarkson declared it to be so. Though I am puzzled there is a 200 version. I had hope Chrysler had the common sense to send these to the car afterlife when the Sebring died.

To illustrate what a tough choice we’re facing, it was 50/50 when I voted.

Its amazing how much the market has changed in the last 10 years - these used to be everywhere, now everyone is in SUVs.

And that’s not a bad thing.  A Passat without the VAG quality/maintenance/repair problems. 

I am on board this train with you. I didn’t see the chemistry between Carmy and Sydney. It’s not there in that way. But Sydney and Marcus, that’s a whole other story and I am here for it. 

i don’t think any of these characters on this show are mentally capable of being in a healthy relationship, yet.

Only partially joking; I’m torn between wanting them to smooch and wanting more media where women and men have deep relationships that don’t revolve around smooching.

THAT’S BECAUSE SYDNEY AND MARCUS ARE MADE FOR ONE ANOTHER DAMNIT

Police: “May we search your car?”

I’ve watched that channel and it is informative, but I wouldn't talk or react to the police like some of them do. Remember, they have an absolute, unquestionable license to kill, and some of them are eager to use it.

1. I’m sorry that was happening to you.
2. It happens, happened to a friend of mine, once when I was in the car with him. He was a bit unshaven, and his cars were a bit dirty, and he drove many Volkswagens, so perhaps they were always looking for drugs? This was in Palo Alto, California, and if you’re not familiar…

Black and Brown people across the country:

Yup. Just like we have a registry for sex offenders. Constitutional rights offender need to be put on a registry as well.

Been happening for a while. Friends and I got pulled over years (decades) ago because “our license plate light was out.” To which I quickly and stupidly responded “You couldn’t come up with something more original like a dirty windshield or a low tire?” That got us all an immediate Field Sobriety test.

Anyone who speaks up is subjected to even worse treatment than a civilian would receive. You have to be a bad one to survive.

There are NO good cops.

We need a zero tolerance policy.
