Man, I can’t believe it’s been 12 years or so since they came out with this car. The styling holds up pretty well, I must say. And though never a fan of Dodge, I do kind of like the look of the Dart.

“Only 6'6"”? What land of giants do you live in? lol

You can get them for $30K; in fact I just did. It’s the Sport model — same 181hp engine as all the others, 6-speed stick and a cloth interior. The key is to avoid the hype and thinking that you need the Brembos, the Recaros, the fancy LSD, the Bose, etc. I’m not going to the track;I’m zipping around and winding it out…

He’s no fool — for all the scrutiny he gets from Congress it’s a smart move to play friendly/patriotic and drive a domestic. I’m sure he has an amazing stable of other toys as well. 

All true. In defense of the missing can-opener, most cans seem to be pull-tabs these days. And the counter space has largely given way to air friers and fancy coffee makers.

I see your Shelby Omni and I raise you a Shelby Lancer.

This is great. 

I think this is the case.

You all remember the Pontiac 6000 STE? There was even an AWD version for a short while. And back in the day you could mention this car in the same conversation along with the Audi 5000 and not get laughed out of the room.

No hard data, but when I think back to my more-or-less middle class 70s/80s upbringing I feel like things were more basic. I mean it’s silly, but not every house had an electric can opener on the counter and that $19 kitchen accessory from the Sears catalog seemed like a bit of an extravagance. I can still hear my dad…

25 years ago the typical household wasn’t paying $250 a month for 4 smartphone lines and $200 a month for internet and cable. Not to mention dining out used to be more of a special-occasion thing and even fast food was, for most, a once in a while meal. Drinks at bars and restaurants didn’t cost $12 a glass, and we…

I’m convinced that the Russian bots that are trying to influence our elections are using the NPOND polls as a training ground, because lately we’ve been seeing some voting that really has me concerned. With some of the cars posted in the last few days we should have seen a 100% result either way (yes on the Ford…

I think my Maverick might have hit 5 recalls so far. But, like the Cybertruck bros, I’ll unpolitically say “I still love it!”

Who doesn’t lust after a nice piece of Sweedish ash from Ikea? 

I was in with a nostalgia NP until I saw the mileage... yikes. At 120K miles, why not. At 238K, run away.  

Yes, and then bitch that a cheeseburger costs $18 and you can blame Joe Biden. Win-win!

Maybe his logic is that if there are no car seats in the back it’s going to be roomier and you have a better chance of scoring with and impregnating the babysitter? I mean, it sounds crazy, but this is JD thinking that we’re trying to unpack...

And today half the population won’t go out for McDonalds if the temp is under 50 degrees and the car doesn’t have heated seats. 

ND just because I won’t want to spend an afternoon huffing GooGone fumes to get all those stickers off the damn thing. 

We’re just assuming he didn’t fake his own death, right?
