Most Wranglers have four doors now, and not many people are taking those dachshund-looking things off road. Chances are potential competitors are looking to do to the Wrangler what the RX300 did to the Discovery. Besides, the next Wrangler may already be a CUV based on CAFE pressure.

To be fair, I can’t remember the US government ponying up to put a semi-talented American in an F1 seat. Wasting money on Austin isn’t quite the same thing, and it was done by a solvent state rather than the US government, with its reliance on the suspended disbelief of its creditors.

I had La Jolla Independent’s owner tell me to keep my BMW forever, insisting it was the last of the good BMWs and that mine was in remarkable shape. Coincidentally, I had spent eight hundred dollars at his shop in two consecutive weeks.

I found it troubling when Austin got a GP, when you can look at every other nation to get a GP in recent years and what they all had in common.

A friend had a Chevette automatic, I think it was a ‘79. It was fully tapped out on any highway. Maybe it was because there were two of us combining for maybe 320 lbs, but that car would only run 55 mph on mildly hilly roads. My Mom’s ‘79 Horizon automatic was a rocket by comparison, able to bury its 85 mph…

The front and rear suspensions of the US cars also followed VW practice instead of Simca. There is some confusion on the production dates. The Simca-Talbot car was sold as the Chrysler Horizon for the ‘79 model year before being called a Talbot. That’s why I thought it followed the Dodge and Plymouth into production.…

Shelby Dodges kicked ass in ProRally and showroom stock racing when they were new. I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about, but I drove many L-bodies and E24s over the years, and my experience couldn’t be more different from what you’ve written. These Mopars had atrocious quality, but they could cover ground like…

The US cars also reached the market first, which makes me wonder how much they really owed to Chrysler’s French subsidiary. If they’d actually shared any mechanical components with the Talbots, I’d be more inclined to believe they were developed in France. The reality was more direct VW-clone with VW mechanical…

A 635CSi driver wouldn’t be able to see where this car went, not that I’m in a hurry to buy it.

Do you know that any of the allegations are true?

True. The court didn’t say that rape doesn’t matter. The court said that crying rape doesn’t obviate a contract. Proving rape might well do the trick.

Really? I’ve been in about seven long-term, serious as sepsis relationships. Nothing ever ends well. Otherwise, they wouldn’t end at all. Nonetheless, I must say that only children are not superior mates to people with siblings.

The position of this blogger is that obviously women should not be bound by their word. Equality is oppression!

When you’re wearing rose colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.

I thought the intentionally obscured photography suited the motorcycle, which has had all of its utility and performance intentionally hobbled. The people involved in this are not ones I would care to meet.

Maybe we have twice as many assholes as Canada, but they only have a tenth as many people. I sailed around Nova Scotia for a while. I saw racism and ethnic hatred between the English speaking Canadians and natives from the reservations like I’d never seen in the US twenty years ago. And their united contempt and…

As a regular contributor to the New York Times and the AP, he probably doesn’t remember what journalism looks like. If you write too much propaganda, you tend to forget.

Did Jezebel ever retract that pedophile apologist piece on Lena Dunham? That was possibly a worse effort at journalism.

At least in 1972, they wore 350SL badges, although they already had 4.5 liter engines. The 500SL, 500SEC, and 500SEL did have an impact in the US. They were so popular as grey market imports that Mercedes-Benz successfully lobbied for the import restrictions that make self-importation a PITA on cars over 25 years old…

Come on, man.
