Some Final Destination shit going down

It’s all a show.

1st Gear: The obvious solution is yet another merger, right? RIGHT?

300, Charger, Challenger, all dead. Chrysler has 1 product (Pacifica around since 2016 with little changes). Dodge consists of the Hornet and the ancient Durango which will either go out of production or get replaced. The Ram no longer has a V8 (and a Hemi at that) and good luck trying to market to the same people…

First gear is a ridiculous situation to see if only because it was obviously going to end that way when the Land of Forgotten Toys that is Stellantis spun itself into existence. They assumed that the money printing machine didn’t require oiling. Even Sergio (and Carlos is no Sergio) struggled with the complexity of…

It’s pretty simple: a nearly-all European executive team who has very little experience with the North American market is running the show. Into the ground.

Yes. H-D, actually. A couple of times.

It’s neat, and if it were at a Cars and Coffee, I’d definitely take a look, but if the owner was boasting that they paid over $20K, I might silently wonder about their life choices.  ND.

Not sure if I dislike the dimwits that pushed them for this or the spineless twits that capitulated to the dimwits more. I’d say HD lost a customer but their image already held zero appeal.

*Rare trim level on an otherwise fairly common vehicle

This is a perfect example of rare =/= interesting. This is just rich guy version of “my corvette is only one of 7 made in this color combo that year on a Wednesday in June” kind of rare. The Iamrich app kind of wasting cash. Rare, yes. And uninspired. 

I’m on the other side on this, except maybe the Chirons, the rest - in the venerable words of Indiana Jones - are belong in a museum (not a private garage), so a lot of people can see them now and in the future. If you are rich enough to drive these because “meant to be driven”, there are plenty of stil outrageously…

It would be an impressive one... pretty hard to fake a tornado AND taking 5 other lives with you. 

If you go by dollars/pound, the M5 Touring is really quite reasonable.  

Not really true over the past 3 years. Several manufacturers (notably Ford, but all of them) really filled the top end due to parts shortages.

to each their own I guess, I personally don’t find rock crawling particularly interesting, and SUVs are appalling to me, 0 grace, but eh I get it to a degree.

I get that ATP is the best metric we have to work with, but it’s kinda lousy. One of the reasons ATP is down is because of the change in inventory types. Owing to the shortages of the past several years, there are fewer cars for sale that are 1-4 years old than cars 5+ years old. Older used cars are cheaper, so this…

Rawdogging means precisely one thing, and it is not that.

I’m 100% going to wake them up or climb over them before I hold it for 15 hours. Not sure I’d make it more than 5 hours before I’m getting out of that seat.
