PND - Prejudicial No Dice - I hated working on these damn things with a passion. Used to perform smog tests here in CA and these things were one of the WORST. As part of the test, if timing was adjustable we had to check it. On this you have to:

This reminds me of Previa prices a decade ago, in the before times, when regular broke folks like me could go on Craigslist and make terrible decisions with $2,500.

Any running car at that price nowadays is a Nice Price. The fact that this one is in good condition makes it a lock.

Missed the OP, so:

‘97 Neon - Sloopy (was red/silver, was a big OSU fan at the time)

1983 Mercedes Benz 300SD (W126) — John Goodman (after the actor) cause it was large, white, and got the job done.

I don’t name things. I literally had a dog named Puppy at one point, but my wife names everything, including my first car, an ‘89 Firebird with one working pop-up headlight. She named it Winky. Occasionally both lights would decide to work and that was Winky’s alternate personality, Blinky.

Man they are about to make more money selling those cars than that dude made his ENTIRE drug dealing career. Shit those Supras even at over 100k miles are selling between the mid $100k to $200k range alone. And hell most of those Supra’s are unmodified or in near stock condition that alone fetches a price premium, if…

I don’t know the movie Cars was pretty popular. I think a lot more people would think of this being a Hornet

You didn’t buy a Journey or Caliber because they were terrible vehicles.

The average human probably never knew either of those bits of trivia at any time, much less remembers them.

My “obese ass” owned a 500 for 3 years. Never had a problem getting in and out. The entry is tall, and the car itself has more room inside than its exterior suggests. We fit me and my buddy (both 300+lbs) in the back seat one time for kicks. Americans don’t like small cars, obese driver or not, they want room to haul…

Which was named after a great Hudson.   Given that Paul Newman’s voice was added to the Hudson, I think Dodge is hoping that is remembered more than the AMC version.

It actually worked well initially. But then they left it for way too long without meaningful updates.

Not only are donuts fun, they’re also tasty!

Dodge Hornet? Okay... I guess there are worse names they could give it.

No, not really. The Tonale looks like it’s about the same size as a Chevy Trax. So, basically a tall economy hatchback.

Tonale...

Stop pushing the narrative that Dodge was cringey. It was fun and we should be happy that a car company exists that seems to want to make fun cars.

Aside from the stupid vinyl cutouts for the lights and the glass etching it looks so... Clean. No body lines that go nowhere, no shapes folding into shapes and trying to piss off Euclid, no floating roofs or six layer C-pillars...

If they put big block headlights behind that front end and ringed it with diffused LEDs…

I love these types of concepts because they really do include the dumbest possible things:
