SSR and Plymouth Prowler. Not sure if we can chalk that up to them being cancelled if it’s more a case of natural selection.

I’m torn on the dockworkers strike. I mean, if the companies switch to automated systems it’s not like they’re going to reduce costs to consumers — they’re just going to take in more profits. But at the same time, the workers are possibly being a bit unreasonable in their demands. Tough call without knowing all the…

But this thing for whatever chores you need to get done and put it up on Turo the rest of the time. It’d pay for itself in no time. Easy NP.

Oh boy, this is right there in that hazy space. About as good of an example as you’re going to find, but the iffy fuel managment stuff is a little worrisome. This is very decent 1st gen MR2 money, but it’s also more unique. I dunno -- if you’ve always wanted one of these this might be a good last chance. Sometimes…

Hasn’t the actual cost of a 911 in inflation adjusted dollars remained pretty much the same, while the performance and luxury has absolutely gone next-level? I think there needs to be perspective, too — they were always cars for people making a lot more than average money, and for a lot of older people that have done…

Tangentially, I think a lot of the would-be buyers of sporty cars — young men — just don’t have a lot of interest in cars these days. I wonder how much that demographic spends on the stuff they’re into, like high-power gaming consoles and stuff like that?

He’s a grumpy old man that’s upset that there aren’t more plus-size sports cars that fit his fat ass and budget, and also have the magical power to make him seem cooler, younger and more relevant. The fact is that today’s cars — from the Miata to the Lucid and everything in between – are pretty amazing in terms of…

I hated the first run of Rams with the big truck grille, but at this point it’s almost become quaint. Still, it set the trend for the monstrosities we see everywhere today so the slow-burn of my hate for it continues.

Yes, retractable hardtop. They’re pretty easy to find down here in Florida. I’ve always been tempted by them. 

I think they put that last so as to generate an extra 20 clicks per visitor. 

There was a cottage industry of people making Corvette wagons back in the day; I like the idea but I don’t think the rear-engined C8 is the right platform for one today.

Draw a Venn digram of all those things — comfort, safety, FWD, mature, under $15K, reasonable maintenance, Colorado-climate friendly, good road-tripper — and you’ll see this baby right dead set in the middle:

100%. 

That dog was the only positive thing in the photos.

Let’s get the pitchforks!

That’s pretty close the the late Ford Edge, which certainly never caught on, unfortunately. 

I wish I spoke multiple other languages so that I could say “No!” in many more ways.

Interesting, but not $100K interesting. Not even $10,000 interesting, tbh. 

People actually try this? 

What did they do to that poor Mazda?
