Well, at least you got the crack comment right for your name. I never said anything about me hitting anyone. And I’ve seen plenty of people’s mirrors whacked by the bikers because the biker misjudged the gap. Or they were just assholes.

I have an opinion on matters that could intercept my life in some way. So, if you like to insert odd objects in your rectum in your own home, I haven’t no reason to judge you. If I see you doing it at a local restaurant, then I have every reason to judge you.
And it’s also not a Dodge Viper. I’m really enjoying our back in forth over statements that you choose to quibble over. Anything else that’s fairly obvious and most readers get my point about that you’d care to mention?
Every company is going to have some recalls. But of the Big Three, FCA is leading the pack on poor build quality. Here’s a JD Power initial quality report. It’s from 2015, but I wouldn’t be surprised if FCA is still in that ball park.
I don’t want a star if the person can’t appreciate subtlety. Besides, the only acknowledgement I really would be interested in is COTD and I know that’s not going to happen.
Perhaps that has something to do with it. But then again, my friend bought a brand new 2014 Ram 2500 Laramie MegaCab 4x4. NOT a cheap truck. When he finally got tired of dealing with it and sold it, it had really low miles because most of them were put on the FCA Warranty loaner vehicles. It left the factory with…
You mean that you don’t think the Dodge Neon SRT-4 ACR is a modern day approximation of a Dodge Bumblebee? How can you not see that?
Rarity doesn’t necessarily translate to valuable. The Mopars from that era definitely tended to have the advantage when it came to the 440 Wedge, 426 Hemi, and even the 340 V8s. But there was a reason that Chrysler sold fewer cars than Ford or GM during that time period. It’s the same reason as today. It has to do…
So you’d have preferred me to use a blatant joke instead of a sly one? I thought the low-key comment was a better option.
Chris, I’m not a Mopar hater, at least not in the sense that I think you intended it. I’d love to have a ‘68-70 Charger, ‘70-74 Challenger/Barracuda, or old GTX/Roadrunner. And I’ve always respected the towing capability of their diesel trucks, particularly when they’re manual transmission. But FCA is not fine when it…
I’m not a Mopar hater, at least in the sense that I think you mean. I’d love to have a ‘68-70 Charger, ‘70-74 Challenger/Barracuda, old GTX/Roadrunner. I respect the strength of their diesels and towing. But I have also noticed that Mopar people tend to overvalue their vehicles. But FCA has had numerous issues with…
Mopar fans are weird. If you look at the build quality of Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth/Daimler-Chrysler/FCA/whatever their name is this week, it’s abysmal. I think that they’re top of the list for production and quality control issues and pretty much lead the segment for recalls, particularly with their trucks and SUVs.…
I would equate owning a Neon SRT-4 like telling someone you own a Shelby and they find out that you specifically own a Shelby GLH based off the early 80s Charger. Yeah, the SRT call out is kind of cool. Yeah, it probably performed well for its intended purpose (in fact, I remember car reviews stating it did pretty…
I’m not going to try to argue with you about someone’s ability to perceive their surroundings. Everyone is different (I’ll admit, I’ll turn down the radio to reduce distractions when I get close to an address I’m looking for). But I have seen bikers tap vehicles while lane splitting. Often, if they pop the mirror back…
It’s true that I have zero first hand knowledge as a rider, since I don’t ride. But as I pointed out, I am knowledgeable about what I’ve observed safely ensconced in my car or truck. Every vehicle genre has their own subset of assholes that cause problems for the rest. So do I believe that every lanesplitter will…
The bells. Oh God, you forgot to mention the bells. I’m a native Texan. I went to school in Texas. And the worst part about the Mums, even beyond the price (and let me tell you, your 100 dollar statement can be on the low end), is the sound of thousands of small bells tingling all day in the schools. Most of the mums…
I believe that the US needs Border Security, and an agency to administer it, but I don’t believe it needs to be done in this manner. I’m not worried about the illegal or undocumented aliens who are just trying to provide a life for themselves and their families. Even if you are the type of person that’s a “kick them…
People have a funny way of looking at History. Depending on the public mood depends on whether the person is right or wrong. Lincoln had originally stated that he believed in sending blacks back to Africa. He also stated at the beginning of the Civil War that if he could keep the Union together without freeing a…
Of all of the articles you’ve posted, I think think this is the wittiest thing I’ve seen from you on a Kinja site.
