The French built Renault 9 wasn’t all that bad. But, the ones they cobbled together in Kenosha were pretty much garbage. I’m still driving a Le Car and, while the speedo needle has indeed disintegrated, it runs like a charm and is a really fun car.

Strictly speaking, she is no longer parked in wet concrete. Problem solved!
All American cars worked like that Duster until the 80s. Foot wells were bigger then and having that dimmer switch on the floor up and to the left was no big deal.
I’m born and raised in NYC and lived and worked there till my mid 30's. From then on I’ve moved throughout the US to Boston, LA, Atlanta, Buffalo, Raleigh and other scattered towns across the country. NYC has its warts but it’s the one city that offers the most sense of belonging. Aside from maybe LA, it’s the one…
You’re right - many cars used by MTA are older than our systems have been around.
Sorry, for me only a Citroën Visa satellite will do. I have the simplest tastes, I am always satisfied with the best.
I call bullshit! No true New Yorker would every compare LA to NYC. I have said for many years that LA is just New Jersey without NYC to anchor it. Now that I live in NJ, I’m not sure that LA is even that good. (Seriously, LA is my least favorite major city, but only because I think Houston is just a shitty cow town…
Why does anyone willingly live in Peoria?
Rice; for when you’re hungry and want a thousand of something.
LA isn’t a big city. it’s a bunch of overgrown towns strung together by falling-down freeways.
Good idea, but just look at the queues. That perfectly illustrates the mindset of the people using the service. Have you ever seen anyone queueing up for the subway?
Look, to each their own, but NYC does have a lot to offer. First and foremost, jobs. NYC is the leader in just about every sector of the economy from finance, tech, law, health care, NGO, media, advertising... there are few places that can compete with NYC in even one of those sectors, and no place that could compete…
My mother-in-law lives in Santa Ana right off the 5, like close enough to see the freeway from the house. Last time we visited there the freeway was as crowded as a typical Minneapolis rush hour at 2 am in the morning.
Because it has the largest cluster of commercial activity anywhere in the US? And that allows for good paying jobs and lots of life options?
IDK, perhaps it’s because they’re not a bunch of backward, hillbilly, redneck, southern folk who ask these sorts of things?
Yep, that’s another thing — less sidewall equals more strain transferred to your wheels and suspension bits. Tires are cheap in comparison.
It’s funny. It’s almost like they get paid to figure stuff like that out for you.
That’s actually a great idea as opposed to irony going on here in Ohio as the truck taking away waste leaves several gigantic splats of oil on the ground in the two minutes or so it takes to pick up my garbage.
Does it need some LED accents and low profile wheels?
