Very informative post; take my thanks and a star.

You already said what I was thinking....thank you, and take a star.

That was excellent! Thank you for this information; I'd no idea of any of this.

Those photos were extremely well composed - kudos to Kristen or whomever took them.

I can’t decide if I think this would be successful or not, honestly. I live in truck happy Texas which had tons of Hummers (funny, I remember them once being called Hum-Vees?) around back in the day, so I can see the instant appeal of the form,size and shape. Trucks are selling like hot cakes at the moment....but,…

Lord have mercy, what is wrong with you people? There are plenty here for whom buying, owning and keeping crap cans going is a life’s mission (my husband and I included). Any fool can go buy a new or nearly new car; it takes skill and ingenuity to keep an older, worn out car road-worthy.

I wonder if the Dome Light myth started because of much less light pollution 40+ years ago. In other words, it was much darker outside, so that the light inside was comparatively much brighter. I can remember noticing that when I first started driving; I grew up in a rural area, so darkness all around for miles. A…

Lack of AC would be a ginormous ‘no’here on the sultry Gulf Coast.....can roll my own windows, lock my own doors and even struggle with lack of power steering (my eldests' first car was a white door Chevy Metro we called The Egg....it lacked power steering. Talk about crap cans - anyway, it at least had AC, thank…

Think I'd enjoy him as neighbor myself....the stories he'd tell would be worth a little clutter.

Hope someone that can put in a good word is reading this then! Or would at least provide a space for some selected readers to do write ups on their own projects or experiences...i have nothing interesting to add, but sounds like there’s more than a few here who do.

Wouldn’t the ASPCA stop you from doing that? What'd your cats ever do to you anyway??

I think David driving a non rusted poop bucket would end up being like what happened to the wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz, when hit by water - “I’m melting!”, only it would be a rapidly sped up version of "I'm rusting!", I think. I can see it now, in my mind’s eye.

That Festival looks HELLA fun!! Good luck with this years.....oh, and Jalopnik needs to hire you. :-)

I have the generation before, a 2002 Mercury Sable, that we bought 6 years ago with 80k on it for $2100. It’s now got just shy of 160k and has overall been a comfortable and reliable vehicle. It’s just now getting some indications of potential electrical gremlins to come, so we’re starting to look around for another to…

That Cord has to be one of the most beautiful car styles ever, hands down. Simple perfection in lines, proportion...the epitome of grace.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this! I've not seen them before that I can recall, but have now found a new rabbit hole to get lost in. :-)

We had one of those babies when I was in grade school - God how we loved that car! For the life of me, I cannot remember what happened to it, but I’ve never forgotten the car itself. Silver, with a black vinyl top and moonroof, marshmallow-y comfy seats for days. An AM/FM radio with an 8 track player too, IIRC!

4th Gear: it’s too bad John Candy isn’t still around to play Ghosn in an updated version of the classic travel movie “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”.

That's easy:   They're all tourists visiting from Florida.

Toyota should take a Leaf from Nissan's playbook and create a Fusion of body styles to update the Prius; after all consumers are going to continue to Bolt to other hybrids if they don't.
