You know what I’ve never done after forking over tens of thousands of dollars to a company to buy their product? Volunteer as their PR department as so many of these Tesla fanatics do.

I guess you wouldn’t consider that the clothes were in style back then, as was smoking.  As for the kiss... could it be that is her husband and he was showing or giving his wife a new car? 

Even more minimalist...

Yet another writer afraid of the future?  I don’t see anything NOT to like at this point.  You gonna trash Elon next for his SpaceX work too?  Go back under your rock, Andy.

I see nothing wrong with that. Same with stop lights. Just let off the gas of traffic is stopped or you see a RED light ahead. Don’t worry about pissing off people behind you. Like, where are they gonna go anyway?

President Nixon owned one of these and actually used it while president...

...those same people will remove it if it came that way from the factory.

Those original vinyl tops, the thin ones, look ok on most cars, but the padded ones looked horrible on every car.

Panel gaps again, eh?  EVERY car had panel gaps.  If that’s all the Tesla critics could find wrong, then that’s fine with me.

Rear-engined VWs too?

Might be, but isn’t that the side he never touched on the way down? I want to see the other side.

Especially since he writes for a car (clickbait?) blog. Reminds me of Ralph Nader who disrupted the entire auto industry in spite of NEVER having had a driver’s license himself. The original “Karen”.

Re: the Golf with “fake” light....  That is the fog light if you (or the original owner) had sprung for the higher trim package that included them.  I thought you were a VW expert?

Still the same company and both from Kenosha, WI

Well, we don’t live in NY, OH or PA.  This is Texas.  If you buy at a dealer, they take care of the paperwork, send it to the state who takes their sweet time in mailing you the plates.  If you’re buying from an individual, you have to go down to the tax office and wait in line for 2 hours to register your new car. 

The “Rambler” name goes back to late 1800's when the Jeffrey Mfg Co called their bicycles “Rambler”, complete with the familiar font that was used later on. The Jeffrey Mfg Co expanded into automobiles later on.

The Russians have this problem solved...

The temp tags aren’t dealer tags. They are for the buyer to use until the metal ones show up (about a month).

I’ve been noticing that in Dallas/Ft. Worth too. Seems like about 1 in every 10 cars has paper temp tags. I always wondered about that, now I know.

This is what I thought of when I saw this. Just as ugly as an early to mid 50's Rambler.
