Today’s Republican party has lost the ability to plan ahead to make the country stronger positioned against the rest of the world.

Governments have to set goalposts for industry, or else nothing will change. Those posts can change position over time, but everyone needs a target. Think about smog reduction targets in the 80's. Have you recently driven behind a 70's era car? You can smell it half a mile behind. Imagine if every car on the road was…

So yeah, screw this crap. I have no problem paying with cash—you see it flowing out of your fingers so the expense hurts like it should—as opposed to adding that expense to the credit card total as you “painlessly” roll it over and keep paying interest on the balance. Duh—cash is king.

Do you think Joe Biden invented the electric car?

I’m with you on this. I’ve owned a few. Most recently a 10 year old CX-5 with 110K miles that has been bulletproof save for a leaky wiper fluid reservoir... and yesterday I charged the a/c for the first time ever. Most models are still made in Japan which I think helps with quality. It’ll be interesting to see how the…

I’ve owned more toyotas than mazdas, and I’ve also had a couple of subarus. I’ve never had a lick of trouble from a toyota or mazda, and issues with a modern subaru are few and far between. But, the attention to detail and thoughtful design behind mazda put them above the rest in my book. Smart cruise control, apple…

Hear me out, but Dacia. If you want cheap wheels, with a minimum of salespressure, then Dacia is the answer. I know, shocked me too, but they are cheap, reliable, affordable products. 

Grandma had a Cavalier. I slammed the trunk one day and the left rear tail-light popped out with a harness umbilical cord. She blamed me and of course I had to fix it after I stopped laughing. Probably the last part left on that car when they crushed it.

Came here to say something pretty similar - except I’d like to stretch this from being a 1990s thing to being a 1990s to 2000s thing. Having spent years of my youth renting cars at the nation’s largest rental car companies, I have sat in and driven thousands of GM cars from this era. The last few years of the Cavalier…

It’s funny because my father would only buy Chevy so we went through a Vega, Nova, Cavalier, and Chevette in the 70s/80s and I thought the Cavalier almost felt luxurious compared to the others which all felt like cheap plastic.

Dell DJ, thank you very much 

Trying to remember the movie...Gung Ho?

It has to be the Saturn Ion. This thing was trash, even by mid 00's standards.

Clearly nobody here remembers the Yugo.

Good on the daughter for getting a scholarship and saving her parents tens of thousands of dollars.

I don’t get RVs. They’re a horrible hybrid of cars and tents that aren’t good to drive and aren’t real camping. And like, the low end price for a new motor home is 50 grand, how many nights in actual hotels could you afford JUST on the interest for that?

It was thoughtful for Buick to put ashtrays in the third seat for the kiddies.

This.
