At 56, I’ve got ya by a couple. And IMO your wrong. Todays cars are just so much better than what we had back in the 60's & 70's. You can beat most any stock muscle car of that era in one of todays econoboxes. Today cars last longer, get better mileage, are more comfortable, and are much safer than they’ve ever been.

I think if you drove more cars from the 70s, especially stock US versions of them, you would change your mind. The primitive emission controls of the era plus the reduction in compression ratio made them unresponsive pigs. After some quality wrenching time they were much better, but as delivered from the factory they…

Beds are getting shorter, and the cabs are getting much longer. Modern trucks seem much more preoccupied with interior comfort and performance than utility, at least the kind of utility that necessitates a pickup in the first place. I’m not sure why more pickup drivers don’t just get an SUV - hauling doesn’t seem to…

That's not a bad idea. The biggest German manufacturer could buy the biggest Italian manufacturer, then maybe they could acquire a Japanese manufacturer like Mitsubishi. Combine all of that into one borg and call it, I don't know, Axis Motor Company.

I wouldn’t touch Chrysler with a 10ft. dildo. Chrysler is for bankruptcy fetishists.

So there’s this AWD Kia with a 2.0T engine making 237hp and 260lb-ft for about $35,000 and it, like this Macan, is out of my price range. What the hell is going on?! I can’t afford a compact Kia let alone the cheapest Porsche? New cars are depressing...

Answer: Nobody... Please... Nobody

A ground crew that wasn’t inept? Really? Ever seen the numerous vids of tug pilots dragging braked jets only to see them go to the bone yard? How about tow bar failures penetrating the cabin? Yep. You know it happens. Placing blame is like herding cats. Humanz gotta b humanz and jets gotsta paiz da price.

Babies and little kids can pull them off.

They do make them, but for some reason quit bringing them to the states in 2003.

You underestimate the power of the minivan driving suburban housewife who has an inferiority complex because all her neighbors have big fancy crossovers and SUV’s. I actually had to forcibly put my wife in a van to change her mind. And now she won’t have it any other way. Tahoe driving moms who struggle to get their…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,

Well, someone’s gotta buy em new for us.

All the US troops blown up by Iranian IEDs in Iraq would probably disagree.

It’s a sign of disrespect. (To walk / tread on a nations flag)

It’s been a very mild winter here in the northeast. Probably the warmest I can ever recall in my 31 years on this marble. 64 today and I rode the motorcycle in. Going to be 74 tomorrow. Thanks, ExxonMobil Obama.

There’s a joke here somewhere.

Those came over a decade later. In 1955, they just hosed your blood out of the interior and resold the car to someone else.
