Victim was foolish and reported it as an accident... it wasn’t, it was ASSAULT. She should have said what actually happened “Someone intentionally rammed my vehicle with theirs in the middle of the road.”

That front end looks extremely light. Handling would be...interesting

I’ve had a (thankfully) small number of situations with other aggressive drivers repeatedly trying to cut me off or brake check me, and I pointed in a very exaggerated manner to my front dashcam and then did the fingers to the eyes and then to them “I’m watching you” motion...in all cases, they raced away after…

A key difference being that my dashcam does not mysteriously turn itself off before I go all Leroy Jenkins on someone.

That’s why dashcams, like body cams, are so valuable. Accountability on both sides. 

I’m at a loss to understand why the woman did not call the police and report an aggregated assault; attempted injury with a dangerous weapon, or something like that.  THAT would have gotten the cops to respond, and pretty much describes the crime.

Normally I’m not about escalating issues to police if it get’s handled, but I would be so heated, I would have called them and be hoping something bad happened when they showed up, but that’s just my knee jerk reaction.

A nice side effect of my dashcam is that is makes ME a more, umm, polite driver. Any time I get fired up by others’ stupidity, I think, do I really want to record my own aggressive response?  

I wonder if the police would have shown up if she told them that they intentionally attacked her with their car, and that she was afraid for her safety.

There’s a long tradition of making rear engined monsters out of small hatchbacks from the Renault R5 Turbo through the Festiva SHOgun and the occasional big block Chevette (use a Toronado transaxle). I'm sure it's interesting to drive, but in hoon like crazy way or hit the wrong pedal and it's backwards into the woods 

No, it means you car won’t get stolen to do donuts at the nearest intersection ‘street takeover’.

I mean, if you just need it for “image” then just rent it on the few occasions you need the image.

Dude paid like $200k more than it was worth and then has only paid off $80k in 3 years? This is either fake or just hilariously bad.

Another counterpoint:

Counter-counter point.
The Caliber was legitimately awful. IDK how Daimler(silent Chrysler) ever released it.
I had one for a rental, and I’ve never been more legitimately scared to drive than in a Caliber trying to merge onto a highway. 

Counterpoint: none of these are terrible. They’re all perfectly adequate, perfectly average cars from their period in history.

What, no Smokey and the bandit Trans Am?

Man, I just love the idea of an EV DMC-12. It’s almost like Back to the Future II coming true with the proper mechanical updates for that car. 

This. The DeLorean is a beautiful design and begs to be swapped in any way one can find. An EV conversion seems almost too perfect for it.

The DeLorean’s Renault sourced motor was never renowned for its power, so I’m all onboard for a DeLorean electric conversion.
