Counter-point: The new shield grille is excessive, bordering on tacky, and those headlights look like a watered-down version of whatever the concept was. All these designs look like they need a bit more refining so that they don’t look oversized and tacky.

To be fair to dodge how many problems can their 2 cars have after 13+ years in production?  I figure those should be worked out by now

As a former Corvair owner, I have to disagree on the Corvair. Fix up the truck. It may be a gas guzzler, but a Corvair is even worse as a daily. I used my ‘65 as a daily, and even with late Corvair improvements like it’s Corvette-sourced suspension it was still an adventure getting anywhere. Most Corvair owners will…

Given he works as a carpenter, and given it’s the cheapest of the 3 to fix, I say start with getting the Ford F100 ready first.

Fix the truck. That's the moneymaker for a carpenter and parts will be easier to source than the Corvair. Then fix the Corvair once more money's available.

Volkswagen says that.

The SsangYong Rodius

Jalopnik commentariat: who can ID the make & model of that office chair? GO!

Classic misdirection to throw off any would-be witnesses that might be following him. Sheer genius.

Good gear saves lives.

It’s the left turn signal as he makes his way to the shoulder/exit on the right that really makes the video for me .

welp....thats a sweet gesture

Did anyone expect more than so so for 12 grand after rebates?

Mitsubishi gave up on us a while ago.

I have a small version of it on my driveway right now!!

True. Still want.

The Crosstrek is near the top of my “just needs a car” recommendations, but only if buying new. Their high resale makes them a great value new and a terrible value used.

Tom, you’re great and you provided a great option, but you ended your section by suggesting they take it to their trusted mechanic.

I bet those other four people have kids.  And probably pets.  I can’t tell you how many calls I’ve been on in the past 3 months where the call was completely drowned out by screaming children and barking dogs until the offender figured out where their mute button was.
