yeah, so was the AMC Alliance, 97 Malibu, 01 PT Cruiser, 95 Virrus (Opps, mean Cirrus), the 81 K cars, 80 Citation, 78 Omni/ Horizon, 76 Volare / Aspen.. Motor Trend is notorious for picking crappy Cars of the Year.. and economy sedans are considered the greatest anything except economy car. The design of a car…

30k is on the low, low side of middle class, but the middle class is disappearing fast. Keep in mind that is starting pay, and as the article states, they havent gotten raises in 20 years, thats close to an entire career. So think of it this way, just about everyone on the Detroit Fire Dept. has never seen a raise, no…

How many times did those win though?

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The question was What's The Greatest Unreliable Car? not most unreliable..

When was this ever nominated as a great car?

When did the Cavalier ever become a great car? Cant wait to see one go across the line a Barrett Jackson. Even the Z24 was a crapbox.

Any Jaaaaag. Take your pick.. Do like the XF though..

I'll quantify that with late 90's to mid 00's with the 1.8 turbo engine. I had a 97 A4 2.8 Quattro. One of the best, most reliable cars I've owned. The other was a 1996 Mazda Protege.

120k -150k on a tranny isnt all that bad..especially since the car was a throwaway car. 95-140k for a wear item like a timing belt is pretty damn good, considering they are recommended to be replaced at 75k. Everyone knows you replace the water pump when you do the timing belt. Cars require maintenance, man. If you…

Unless it was in their contracts,,

Old thing? WTF does that mean? And I think I did a pretty good job laying it out for you what the cost of living is.. you asked questions and I did my best and took the time to answer them. Dont be a asshole..

C to the P .. Why is it those Turbine wheels always look like they are corroded? No luster to them at all, they look dull. I'd take factory steelies over those..

Denis is great and I loved Rescue Me, own the whole series on DVD, but this is no Rescue Me... this is the real deal, and is about the best depiction of firefighting put to film..I'll go on a limb and say ever. No Hollywood bullshit here.

700k will barely get you a 20 year front line life ladder truck. Detroit runs Pierce, so I imagine if they buy like 5 at a time, they might get a bare bones rig for that. And a Smeal would last maybe 5 years on Detroit's potholed roads. They used to run bread trucks as Squads. That had to be rough..

agree with Squad41... the job attracts recruits because there are other rewards in life besides cash and benefits..like helping people, doing a job well, accomplishing something meaningful to the world and teamwork and camaraderie.. You become a part of a family unlike any other job in the world. You eat, sleep, and…

The only thing I agree with what you said is Detroiters allowed this to happen, but the way they did that is by electing (and re-electing numerous times) Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick. Detroiters were robbed blind by this pair. However, Detroiters have rolled up their sleeves,and you seem to forget that Detroit…

Twin Stick, Schwim Stick. Olds 442 had the Triple Stick- Hurst Lightning Rods!

Here are trucks at Fisher Body in Lansing getting ready to take car bodies to Olds Plant 1, Later known as Lansing Car Assembly.

Back in the day, they still may do it, but I'm pretty sure the Fisher Body plant is closed now in Lansing (edit= closed in 2005), but they would truck car bodies a couple miles from Fisher to Plant 1 similar to , but not exactly to this. More like a standard car transporter would. 24 hrs a day truck after truck would…
