Initial quality looks for problems you identify very early in ownership (90 days). Dodge owners are not arriving at the dealer with a checklist of things to review. If you buy a Tesla, it’s very likely that you’ll have one of the plethora of checklists to review every tiny detail of the vehicle inside and out before…

I stopped reading at Dodge in first place.

It would make an excellent companion to this late 50's Auto Union (DKW) 1000 SP, which is a 70% scale Thunderbird.

The van driver should have pulled over on his own Accord. Now he’ll going to get a Civic lesson on hit and runs. Hopefully the punishment Fits the crime and he goes on an Odyssey to his local penitentiary.

Pretty sure that’s a ‘62 or ‘63 Comet up top rather than a Meteor (which was the next larger car, comparable to a Ford Fairlane whereas the Comet was more of a Falcon equivalent). A beauty either way!

It seems american policemen aren’t trained for anything.

They have constantly changed prices. for 2018-2019 there was a change like every 2 months. They took away and reintroduced some forms of discounted supercharging multiple times.

I’ve always lusted after a wagon

Considering they often make a part that addresses the failure points of the OEM part I certainly got a chuckle out of that!  (Ford 4.6 Intake anyone?)

Oh boy, I can’t wait to see a Dorman replacement version of this.

Though you have to admit the ALH + 5-speed combo is one of the more (if not most) bulletproof drivetrains from VAG, so it’s almost cheating to use that as a benchmark.

Add a couple ramps and you’ve got a Tramp.

I spent 17 years on the street as a volunteer paramedic. A well-built ambulance is beefed up quite a bit to hold all of the crap that you need out on the street. Electricals, especially, are the biggest you can get.

It really isn't though. 

I’m genuinely surprised you can’t just go to a local VW dealer with the VIN and see if the recall service was performed.

As an owner of a Euro repair shop you need immediately replace the primary timing chain tensioner (will take you 3 hours if you're slow) and the oil separator on the valve cover or it will fail and destroy the rear main seal. Dealer parts on both! I can get you my discount and have drop shipped to you if you want.
