The fact of the matter is if GM, Ford, et al. want to remain profitable, and in business in the future, it needs the middle class. With stagnant wages, all these companies are fighting for an increasingly (decreasing?) smaller piece of the pie that is a viable customer base. A more robust middle class will lead to…

Neutral: Stop judging executives so harshly on quarterly results. Start looking at annual and longer performance windows instead, then adjusting their compensation accordingly — including holdbacks for certain long-term goals.

1) CT Craigslist, FL plates, and shipped back to the manufacturer in CA at least once in its sub-200 mile existence to be worked on. Holy shit.

You’ve been promoted to Lexus product planner. 

I know it’s fun to hate on the Corolla and all, but I think the hatchback version - even with this silly Nightshade package - is a solid looking little car. If they actually do make a GRMN version of this thing for the NA market, it would probably be on my shopping list.

“You don’t understand. More grille! More, I SAY! MORE!”

Hold up there is a TRD Avalon?

It’s an appearance package

No such thing as exotic dancers, they are dental hygienist students and actresses between jobs. 

Well...  Big Bill Hell wants to be family to the point that he’s fucking your wife...

i’ll add exotic dancers to this list - they are always divulging their real names to me.

if you feel like jackin’, reach for jill.

She’s goes by Jill.

“Colonel, you better take a look at this. It looks like a giant....”

Anytime I want to view things from an Asian country, it’s always pixelated...DAMMIT.

I think the IFS v solid axle complaint is overstated on a vehicle like this. Sure, you have a dedicated crawler a front axle is vastly superior. But for a truck like this, the suspension articulation is limited by axle length and body panels. A solid axle would offer better grip, but it wouldn’t be THAT much better.

Um, you do know I have a background in engineering, right? Cargo shorts are standard issue.
