Doesn't look as bad as many of the ones above, though. Besides the doors being a little awkward, it doesn't look that poorly thought out.

Gocha, plenty of "built in America" cars are built in Mexico and finished up north. Such as the Ford Hermosillo (I don't know if I spelled this right) plant that makes the NA Fusion and MKZ, and then ships them to Flat Rock, MI, where they affix that Built in America sticker.

Chicken Tax = huge import tax on any trucks built abroad and imported to America. It's an antiquated tax put into play years ago to protect the big three from import dominance. It's also why, to be profitable as a US truck manufacturer, you pretty much HAVE to build the trucks here. It's also pretty much the reason…

With the chicken tax going away, we could quite possibly see a Ranger on these shores again, yet probably built in Turkey or another abroad factory.

Had a roommate that DD'd his ragtop CJ. Was pretty rough.

Nah, 2-Door XJs aren't that rare, just slightly more than 4 doors.

If that is the case, my mistake.

Following the logic that no front-drive car can be a sports car would also eliminate anything without the engine in the rear and just two seats. Hell, you could take that as far as anything with air conditioning. Anything with more than 1 seat. Anything with an interior. It all makes it slower does it not?

when was the last time you saw something like this roaming the streets?

There's tons of fine-looking American cars, terrible looking imports, and vice-versa. I also would be bold enough to say that statements like this may be true today, and in 3 years may be completely invalid. I'd honestly say in the 90s the best cars came out of the Japanese, and now they aren't making much that's very…

What's this a replica of, exactly?

Hey, York! That's where I work.

Sorry, but for .45 MV6, I couldn't justify a 23 year old Honda. I love the car, but it's really a $3500 car, and that's because not-so-nice condition ones go for $500-$1500. It's just not a justifiable price to me.

Because drive shafts are easier to replace than transmissions or differentials.

Ford generally overkills it on the transmission power ratings, because they know people often do this to their trucks. Raptor 6R80 transmissions are rated for 800 ft/lbs of torque at shaft input. 6.7L Diesels with the 6R140 (800 ft/lbs stock) are rated at 1,400 ft/lbs.

Turn suspension off Comfort and onto Dynamic next time. It wakes up.

Oh, I honk and flash my lights at these folks until they get the message. I can't stand it. I also can't stand when buggies do it (I live in Amish land), as they are also flat-black and slow moving. I already have enough on my plate negotiating roads with these things on them, when they aren't lit it's even worse.

Everyone's done it a time or two. The good ones among us learn, I'd like to think. Slamming on the brakes is only natural, it seems.

Oh, I can do it in an emergency. That's the problem, when I left foot brake. Unless I concentrate, every touch of the pedal feels like an emergency. I practice every now and again, and my neck doesn't snap anymore, but I still could not do it smoothly every time, every day, without really concentrating on it.
