I remember that. While “hateful shitbox” is hyperbole, I do think these things are overrated. My mother had an ‘03 Matrix for awhile, and while it drove OK the interior fell apart like it had leprosy. By the time Mom got rid of it at about 7 years old, the door window switches would lift out of the door each time you…

Funny thing is, if Chrysler hadn’t discontinued the PT Cruiser, they would be printing money now. It would fit in beautifully with the new trend of sub-compact and compact CUV’s. It didn’t need to be discontinued; it needed a 2nd generation.

It actually goes back even further than that. Before Mao, a Buick was the first official state car of the last Qing Emperor of China, Puyi. Then a Buick was the state car for President Sun Yat Sen on the found of the Republic of China. Also, Zhao Enlai, the premier of China under Mao used Buicks.

5-cylinder G-class is best G-class. And anyone who disagrees with me is wrong.

She likes it, but she still pines for the old Ford...

Meh, only needs to last a few years before they buy their own car.

And look how high the bed sides are—how the hell would you load shit in there?

There are still brass age cars on the road. It really depends on just how far you are willing to go to avoid this. You are right though, at a certain point it’s going to take a lot of determination to get a “pre-connected automobile”.

In contrast to Jason’s source, the backwards-talking fortune teller I know who works in Ford’s purchasing department confirmed that this is definitely a possibility.

Another thing: How would the FIA describe what happened last month when Formula One released a promo video featuring its drivers’ pleas to “end racism” and “equality for everyone?” I guess that wasn’t political or something, or it was just political enough, which tells you all you need to know about how organizations…

The other problem I always had with “reasonable and prudent” is I was never comfortable with what fundamentally amounted to setting the speed limit at “whatever the local sheriff/state trooper thinks is reasonable and prudent”.

Unfortunately this is starting to remind me more of right wing militias found throughout Latin America. The whole right/ left thing with the right side getting official support from law enforcement and military as well as the USA.

I don’t know if you remember the Isuzu Rodeo-based Honda Passport of the 1990s and early 2000s, but it’s the last serious Honda and GM partnership I can think of.

If HAM radio swap meets aren’t cool, then I’m proud to be square.

Andrew Collins is OK too.

GM has responded by sending salaried workers to the factory floor at its plant outside St. Louis

Mitsubishi RVR, what happened to you? You used to be cool man!

My local AMC is opening up with classic movies on Thursday night. One of those movies is going to be The Empire Strikes Back.

But that’s not double swinging!  The Honda’s can drop as a tailgate, swing to the left, or swing to the right.

While California is indeed a wonderful place to be an outdoorsman, it’s not like Michigan is completely bereft of outdoor activities. You can find plenty of hiking and camping and off road trails. I admit that the terrain is pretty monotone, but it’s not like you are stuck in the middle of a concrete jungle either.…
