I nominate the first year of the last great S-Class

I tend to look for the GM platforms because their platform was last revamped in the late 90s (Ford - early 90s, Dodge - mid 70s) and a few even came with rear left side doors and AWD, but am open to others. Pretty much all of the V8 engines are good-old truck fare, but I avoid V10s and V6s for power and…

Conversion Vans. They are SO comfortable on road trips, much larger on the inside than a similar-sized SUV, and can haul a large trailer in tow. The gas mileage isn't good, but no worse than most large SUVs. They start out obscenely expensive, but they fall off the depreciation cliff fast, despite most examples…

I vote for he 2002 Mitsubishi Galant. They took a car that has an aggressive, if subtle BMW 5 series-ish silhouette and gave it a cleft lip.

Jeep Compas's Freedom Drive. AWD and CVT does not add up to "Trail Rated"

RV Jump at Davesfarm?

It WAS driveable until it hit the pole...

Owned a 96 Grand Caravan. It needed a new transmission every 70k miles and was always in for service. I'd at least go a couple years newer - hopefully they improved with time.

Good. It was the worst of the Chrysler vans. They left of some of Chrysler's niftiest features (stow and go) and charged more. At least a Chrysler dealer will be better at servicing it anyway (which will be often)

Yearly tag renewals are higher than most states, but the new plates are part of the standard renewal process - no extra cost. I haven't kept track, but I thought we kept tags longer than 5 years.

Here in Mississippi, if you have a Classic car (25+ years) you can activate an old tag if its stamped with the same year of manufacture and county of residence. I got lucky and found a '71 tag for my F100

A tiny motorhome chassis?

considering the cost associated with developing their own Unibody platform, they probably just sourced their chassis from the lowest bidder (anybody surprised it would be Chrysler?) and then just fitted whatever else they could get their hands on (BMW engine.. blablabla) to try to build a car Police agencies would…

Lambo wanted to demonstrate that their cars are capable of breaking down normally, as in NOT in a ball of flames.

How do we know it isn't a handicapped boater and his three handicapped buddies? Its totally cool then.

I did.

Definitely Lincoln LS

You may not like their vehicles, but Ram's logo has swagger.

Boston's Big Dig roads.

Yeah. It was a decent looking van, but it was mechanically the same as the B-Series van Dodge first released in 1971. It didn't even get a new dash until 1997.
