That’s my biggest critique of Jalopniks Blazer/Trailblazer take: GM produced what the market asked for. Edgy looking CUVs with good MPG is what people want and what GM needs to sell to survive.

50 feet is excessive, but in rural Indiana they have at minimum 10 foot easement. It's usually even larger because there are typically draining ditches or access lanes next to the field. 

Just follow stop signs and you won’t have a problem. Corn usually has a 10+ foot easement from the road (usually even larger, if there is a draining ditch). If you actually stop at the stop signs, you can see cars coming in opposing directions. The problem is people assume nobody else is coming down that gravel road…

They already make a transit chassis cab, so they just need to attach a pickup bed. Seems simple enough

1. Commuter: Chevy Bolt EV

Snow tires. Snow tires. SNOW TIRES!

Except the Cherokee. I still think it's hideous, even agger the update. 

“I wish I purchased the smaller engine”

Oh I misread that the engine was shot in the LeBaron. In that case (and seeing as you sold the cavalier) I'd throw it in with the green Sebring as a possible keeper/seller. 

“Many workers are absent due to a global pandemic that’s spreading rapidly in Missouri”

Great response. I would add that “uncommon” doesn’t necessarily equal “rare” either. Yes, the Crossfire manual is rare, but the Sebrings are definitely not, just because they have a specific color combo.

Sell everything except the Crossfire and Durango, and then choose either the Cavalier or green Sebring for a daily. All the other cars are either junker ready, or you can make a healthy profit since you turned them into a running, driving commuter cars for cheap. Any running and driving car can fetch at least $1000 if…

To be fair, 2017 was a bad year. We were just so naive back then. Our scale of “bad years” gets exponentially worse every year.

A stickshift doesn’t redeem an otherwise shit car. I’m just sad the Compass is still on sale. 

My point is we still deride it - 20 years later - as the worst car ever. It’s not. It’s exceptionally mediocre and awkward looking, which describes 50% of the hottest selling crossovers on the market today.

Have you been in any of the last gen Nissan? They're cheaply made products. In the last few years Nissan has been trying to reverse that, and the new Altima is much higher quality than the last one, but the damage is done to theur reputation. 

I mean, they’re a functional car, sure. I’d drive a Nissan over a Mitsubishi or a Dodge, but that’s not company you want to keep. The last generation of Nissan products were cheaply built, unattractive, and unappealing to drive - though they were bigger than competitors and packed a lot of features for a low price…

They couldn’t possibly be any shittier than the current generation. Wait and hope things improve with the next. The downward spiral of quality in Macs is pretty serious. My employer made me upgrade my 2014 MBP for a 2019 in December. It’s a piece of junk.

Sad to see a once great automaker shoot itself in the foot by cheapening product to chase volume. I was interning at the Toyota North America headquarters in 2015, when Ghosn’s plan to cheapen product and chase volume with subprime financing was in full swing.

That was awful to drive, but it was only in 1 car for like 2 years, and it could be disabled by the dealer and turned back into a normal, reliable V8 (almost all of them were). The Northstar was in EVERYTHING for a decade and a half. The head bolts problem was catastrophic, universal, and couldn’t be fixed easily. Any…
