The Rabbit WAS on another level. However, that car was introduced in the US market in 1975 (and really didn’t take off until the PA plant was built). The last year the Pinto was sold was 1979, and it was introduced in 1971, so Pinto’s are really more easily compared with Beetles and the aforementioned Gremlins, Vegas.…

Reaction upon reading the headline: No car is fun to drive if it makes you miserable walking up to it. 

There are a couple of these that are pretty lazy takes. For example, the Buick GN. That was a modern day muscle car. There wasn’t really anything short of a Countach that looked as menacing. And, it was fast. It wasn’t meant to to be European-style handler. It was a big car with a powerful engine that can blow the…

You guys confused two different AMC vehicles in your description. The “bathtub” and “Mirth-Mobile” refer to the Pacer, another AMC design that was basically brilliant but executed poorly due to it not receiving the engine it was designed for. 

The Pinto was a fun to drive, economical car that was a pretty brilliant design. Unlike some cars that were actually awful, it just got a bad rap. The $11 part is a real story...it was a brace for the gas tank. But, as a whole, the car was pretty good and immensely better than its competitor, the Vega.  

Also, I see your user name, and that is why it was so smart of Tesla to build and install their propriety chargers. They can ensure their customers have a place to charge. And, that is why I treat Tesla as a different animal compared to the rest of the industry. Despite not loving their cars (for purely subjective…

Basically. But this also follow my theory that the whole concept is being PUSHED too quickly. Because the EV boom isn’t really being driven by consumer demand, at least in all parts of the country. When I hear the manufacturer tell us what people want (or, for that matter, the government), it sort of contradicts…

Right??!! I have two beaters and two nice cars, for this exact reason. My beaters are my 93 Accord (again, why would I get...just a different Accord...) and 06 Tacoma (even more so, this. My Taco is a V-6 4x4 6MT. That thing is hard to replace with a new one, and I would literally spend $40k to have the same truck but…

I will say, I’ve only had this happen once with a beater, and its, I think, because I maintain it better than most people do their new cars. It goes in for a service every 3 months like clockwork and keep an open checkbook for whatever it needs. 

I feel you. I never realized BSM and backup camera as a necessary feature until I had a C205 C300 coupe. That thing was like a bank vault all around. Where, my 93 Accord is literally visible and parkable with just its windows. Safe? Meh...but I can see out of it, goddamn it. 

Arguably a bigger problem is finding them and living in areas that straight up don’t have fast chargers.  When I have a customer looking at an EV, it is downright painful to try to explain and show where there are public fast chargers. 

The biggest thing is that current child seats are the size of that Omni. My brother is 6'6', and an Expedition was the only car he could find that his child seat fits behind him. 

I am hoping my 06 Tacoma lasts literally forever because that is my “get me through from November to April so I can drive whatever I want in the summer” car. 

One that I wouldn’t have thought of that actually makes a lot of practical sense are the enormous pillars in cars. Yes, they exist both for rollover safety as well as a place to hide airbags. However, if you read car reviews from the 50's, visibility was considered a safety feature. The reason we have to have blind…

Corvette has been mentioned, but for $10k, the fact that the C4 wasn’t mentioned is criminal. Or, you could always go stealth and hot-rod a Town Car!

Every time I see an article like this, I swear the model years in my FB Marketplace search history get older. 

It’s funny....I always forget that there are motorcycle markets outside of the midwest. All you see around here is young kids on sport bikes and Harley’s. And, way more Harleys. It really doesn’t matter if the person is a straight club member, or a CEO, young or old af...people here ride Harleys. There is a big part…

***Looking to sell. Lucid was looking to sell about twice the number of cars they did, too. 

I’m not remotely an electric car defender, but this math just doesn’t work. Or, we have really cheap electricity in NE Ohio. I also generally drive extremely fuel-inefficient cars (Lincoln Mark VII, Toyota Tacoma 6MT, Mercedes 500SL).

This is the truth. I have a few Harley things...Tee’s are fun to pick up when out of town, plus a few hats and a hoodie. But, MUCH of their riding gear is rebranded stuff. And, you can often get better quality if you go away from the brandbrandbrand. Same goes for accessories (albeit, sometimes. Harley accessories,…
