This, we rented some Hyundai’s and Kia’s back around 2009 they still had the same chipless keys and basic fobs that my mom's 1999 Elantra had a decade earlier.

My mom is who “taught” me how to drive. By taught I’m mean “scared to death in the passenger seat”. 1st time out she explains what the PRNDL stood for and which was the gas and brake (guess she didn’t realize I’d been watching her drive very closely for years and the kid with 200+ Hot Wheels, multiple worn out tapes…
Exactly, for example once people stop seeing the last of the old Volvo's my parents generation bought, they aren't going to have anyone know that they still make cars with their "less cars, but more profit strategy". I mean just compare how many Volvo's you saw in the 90' vs the 3 or 4 new ones you see today.
Considering how many dents popped up on my Challenger (my non Jalopnik car) after I just bought it 3 years ago, I couldn’t imagine the amount of vandalism my neighbors would do if my car had a electric charging wire hanging out of it (not that my apartment or job even have chargers) . Cut cords, charger unplugged,…
Probably a good chunk of them were Chevy Volt lovers who couldn’t/ didn’t purchase another due to Chevy giving the model the old heave ho.
I say screw letters, let bring back 90's model trims excessive naming.
No GTP, as in Pontiac G6 GTP? (Good Time Pontiac) lol.
When I think of the ugliest car for sale on Craigslist these two come to mind.
Let’s see 29 to 35 year old car with brand reputation of never needing any maintenance, check. Owners who believe said fable of no maintenance, check. Fuel lines & fittings not intended for 15% ethanol fuel, check. Model of car likely to be abused, raced and moded by inexperienced teenager, check. = What could go…
I’d be sitting pretty. 1990!
The only thing people may miss is the hybrid version, we have a 2013 hybrid one at work the shuttle drivers back and forth. It has managed to last 260,000 miles and counting. Downsides are the interior didn’t hold up past 100,000 with bare metal showing through on the floor and the steering wheel has a big chunk…
As a bus driver, In Las Vegas you are only supposed to back up with a spotter to watch out for you. Either of these drivers could have done it. Having had to back up a articulated bus before, I'd say the bus not mid turn should have backed up. The bus making the turn made it too wide, he needs refresher training on…
I don’t know why but when I first saw that rear view I thought of a Dodge Durango.
Doesn’t remind me at all of the Aztec, which I never understood all the hate about.
First the key, then the stalk, but I draw the line at the Perrndle (PRNDL).
I would have a electric car if I had a place to charge it, apartment complex buildings are from the 1970's and have nowhere to plug it in and my job doesn’t either. The places I shop either don’t have chargers or are Tesla only. I would be the perfect person for one, 16 miles round trip to work and I only travel about…
My 2002 2.0 Ford Focus LX changed my opinion that our previous 2 unreliable Fords, a 1989 1.9 Escort LX & 1998 2.0 Mercury Tracer GS weren’t just flukes but represented most of Fords car lineup as junk. But having Stockholm syndrome I still have a 1998 Escort ZX2, just not as my main car.
