1st gear.  Every consumer has had an option to buy a more fuel efficient vehicle for years now, but they choose not to because Murica.  If you’re buying a vehicle for regular consumer duty and you’re not buying an hybrid, a plug-in-hybrid, or an electric vehicle what are you thinking?  A regular hybrid Sport ute will…

Because you want traction when the weather isn’t perfect?

Anyone that buys a Cybertruck will be laughed at by me and anyone else with taste.  If you really want an innovative electric truck try the Rivian or even an F150 Lightning.

At least these trim names make some sense.

I had to do the same in the early 90's.  I had bought an old Mazda lemon on payments for about 160 per month.  I then proceeded to put about 200 per month into repairs until it finally killed its engine entirely.  I then bought a brand new Tercel for 240 dollars a month with about 150 a month in maintenance (I put on…

Love the pickup, especially if it becomes a Maverick sized competitor.  Love the tent on the Juke sized car.   

I can relate a little, only my repair was much simpler and it was on a 1974 Pontiac Ventura (Nova clone).  Driving home from college for the weekend a weld on my gas pedal linkage broke.  I (being a total mechanical nitwit) was able to see that something had to move the thing that was attached to the carburator that…

Yet this Ranger is not coming to North America until the 24 model year.

If someone should be playing the lottery after that, it should be the pedestrian.  I don’t care much about the fate of the idiots in the suv’s.

I think that any car costing more than about 60 000 should automatically be struck from consideration as the best of anything. What I admire about cars is that you can get some amazing styling and performance from a car that can be within reach of the ordinary Joe or Jane. If cost is no barrier then some of the…

Looks to me like this will be as useful as Porsche Sedan and just as good looking.

Why oh why?

I am sorry for everything your families are going through and I should have led with that.

I always liked the looks of this generation of Chevy Blazer until I drove one in 2004.  I couldn’t believe how badly it handled around the curves of the Nova Scotia roads.  I never had an iota of desire for it since, hence No Dice!

I remember a bunch of people driving these.  Wish we had some used ones around here.

You forgot to focus on the most automotive part of this story, the guy comes from car dealer owning family; he’s a used car salesman.  I now know where most of the politicians in the Trumpeting party got their training for politics: they were used car salesmen.  Hence they don’t know the difference between truth and…

So who is taking care of the 4 year old terror while you are taking your “me” day?

I don’t know, but if I have to do that much diagnosing for an oven, I simply go to the nearest appliance store and take home the cheapest replacement stove.  crisis solved.  No waiting for parts.

I think your number is a bit small.  The less useful the space the higher the number!

but not so much!
