Damn.
“CamaroCross”
I can neither un-see that nor stop envisioning the horde of ugly that would, undoubtedly, far surpass the current stock of Camaro-ugly.

‘87 Pathfinder, two door, 5sp, 4WD with ENORMOUS 31' tires on it. Paid $6900 for it in ‘92, sold it in ‘96 for $6000, wrecked twice, and minus a passenger side mirror.
Burgundy and two door.

I miss the daylights out of that thing.

So?

Not nearly as long as you seem to be implying, is my guess.
Robots would take a little longer, but would not need to worry about shift changes or health care.

Yeah, but that wasn’t the title of the video, “How to buy fun to drive cars ... 500 HP.”

It was, “

Yeah, as soon as I saw what GM “needed to do”, I looked up and expected Shilling, but it was Orlove, who is only a little to the right of Jesus.
I am fairly certain, Left Lane, that Cracktambourine was saying that tongue-in-cheek, even though he/she did not include the “/s”.

43.8 miles one way, to a C - mechanic job at a Nissan dealership, later parts counter, for $500/week plus, at the end, 2% of parts sold for the month.

Fortunately, since I had to be there at 7:30, there was little traffic. Since I left at 6, there was little traffic.
Took just under an hour.
December 1, 2006, I was let…

So, a crew-cab pickup?  I can get a lot of nice and a lot of grunt for the price of the Mustang.

Oh, believe me, it has been said.  You can usually get a feel for this in the Morning Shift, but, to be entirely fair, they have toned down the rhetoric quite a bit since the last blow-up (which was, I believe, around the time the Writer’s Guild East was negotiating with GAG).

Nope. This is entirely on-brand for Comrade Shilling.
If GM doesn’t bow to the striking workers, THEN THE SKY WILL FALL IN!
UNIONS DETERMINE THE WELL-BEING OF EVERYONE IN THE U.S.A. THAT RECEIVES A CHECK!
SEE, GM?  YOU ARE LOSING TRUCK SALES!
“Labor deserves everything it makes” —On of the editors here

Don’t deal with the Honda Salesman. Deal with Tom McPharland at Automatchconsulting.com.
That is exactly his business model.  He deals with the nonsense so that you don’t have to, for a fee.

My skill level does not include 220 on that course.  I have no problem saying that.

Right. So, how long has the UAW been around? Can you explain domestic quality through the 90's? Or was it just those guys and gals that were disgruntled and poorly paid.

I find it hard to believe that is where we have come, that someone would argue that a MNC has to accept work that won’t pass QA, but keep the worker…

“...while doing nothing to improve yourself.” <— There is the rub.
I don’t know what additional value the GMG writers provided after they made their services more expensive, but I stick around anyway. I don’t know if worker “A” from fender stamping is any better at it than he was before the strike, but there we go.

On…

I have owned all 4 generations. Well, the 4th was a lease under my name, but my wife drove it most of the time.

I picked up the 3rd gen, a 2012 Silver Edition, almost a year ago. The F-Alpha platform on which it is built (yes, the same one that everyone loves under the Frontier for its low price, toughness, and ability…

“(it’s a liberal/progressive website, so keep that in mind)....”
I had to go and check today’s curator of the gears. Coming from anyone other than you, David, that quote would be hilarious.

Damn. Came here to say this. Glad I read the comments first.

Wasn’t the Land Rover already a descendant of the Willys? I think I saw that one one of the first episodes of Top Gear with Screamy McScreamFace  Chris Evans.

I was trying to picture that, and all I came up with was an ugly CX-5 with a long hood.
When the design language is that borked, I have very little hope for the final product. I don’t say that from just a Jalop perspective, but from a Joe Schmo perspective, as well.

I will now find ways to use “urban heat island, like Paris” in my day to day work (in IT).
Thank you.
