The thing that disgusts/terrifies me is that as enthusiasts we’re a group of people savvy enough to catch this stuff and know what’s right, what’s suspect, and what’s outright BS. How many single women, elderly, and otherwise non-automotive types are getting scammed by these guys each and every day? It’s freaking…

Want to reduce that number? It’s simple — get rid of the NHSTA and/or just stop reporting numbers. That’s how we kept the Covid death toll so low here in FL!

Honestly, I’ve always had good experiences with the DMV here in Florida. The only time you see anger and frustration are when people show up without having read the instructions on what you need to bring. The website is pretty clear, and 95% of it is common sense anyway. I actually feel sympathy to the workers that…

Oh heavens no. Just one look at those dated graphics on the rear-seat screens reminds me of all the outdated tech and pricy repairs this thing will certainly need down the road. Big modified barges like this weren’t real popular back in their heyday; I’d say there’s far less appeal for them now. 

I gotta say, this particular example — maybe it’s the color — doesn’t look ridiculous as did every other one I’ve seen. I dare say the design has even improved with age.

What will they fall for next?

I agree in principal, but sadly I think that Americans today would stay away in droves because everyone’s expectations are so high now and no one wants to look poor. I mean, look how many people out there are making horrible purchase decisions when they can’t cover next month’s rent?

That sad thing about even asking this question is that it’s actually hard to name a Stellantis brand vehicle from the last 30 or so years that could/would be relevant in today’s market. They did pretty well with the Sebring convertible back in its day but that was largely because it was the only convertible in the…

I actually had to double-dare myself just to get up the courage. 

Dare I say it, but is this car approaching the size and luxury-barge class that suggests that it’s really more of a poser cruiser than it is a sports car? How much fun can it be to “zip” around at 3/10s in a car like this? Isn’t 8/10ths in a Miata/BRZ a whole lot more fun and in character for a sports car?

NP because in a few years when the Soviets invade you’ll get at least a curious reception (instead of being shot on sight) when you emerge from the Minnesota woods in this thing.

Well, to be fair this is really a form-following-function kind of thing. It’s not like space vehicles are designed to sell themselves in a dealer showroom.

After far to many experiences with Avis and Budget, this sounds like it would be the best rental car experience I could ever imagine having.

I’d sarcastically suggest he start a race team called “Mamma’s Boy Racing” but chances are good today’s influencer world would latch onto it and he’d make a fortune.

This is uncomfortably close to being an actual scene from “Idiocracy”. 

I remember seeing this at Harrah’s, too back around 1980 or so. That collection was insane -- it was like warehouse after warehouse of amazing cars. And some neat boats, too. 

Just for kicks I looked it up. Pretty significant differences, and of course this doesn’t even address the levels of injury and consequences of living with the results of a motorcycle accident.

Legal lane splitting at speed is a horrible idea. Yes it improves time for the riders, but like anything else it’s a thing that will be abused and exploited, leading to tons of issues. More bikes (and likely more inexperienced riders) means more crashes (thus more traffic jams) and more small accidents (more cars hit-a…

That’s freaking awesome. 

Years ago I joined a business networking group where all the small business owners were there to look out for each other and help find referrals. One of the guys owned a local repair shop and I had already done some reduced-cost work for him since we were in the business group. Then one day I took my wife’s otherwise…
