You can also say that about my audio systems, my ATV, my ‘66 Charger.... I’ve pretty much saved all of this crap from the scrap heap because I either felt bad for it or thought it had life left in it. Now, none of it is worth shit, but I enjoy it when it (rarely) works well.

The problem here is that it is a community of very-opinionated auto-purists who think they know what everyone wants (needs); not actually what most people want.

Guilty as charged! I used to buy sports-sedans or 2 door pickups but now we just have a giant SUV and a medium-sized crossover. They are super-convenient and easy to live with. Snow: S’no problem! Need to haul some dogs to “wherever”, no problem. Luggage, cargo, bags of mulch or stone..........yep. Long road trips;…

Well, FCA is a synonym of Junk so..........

It will be a Taurus, then a 500, then a Taurus. 

It seems like a good decision domestically, with sedans being shunned for “tall sedans”. Just a cautionary tale: At one time the big-3 (stooges) lost money on practically every “non-SUV/Truck” and relied too heavily on Suburban/Tahoe and Expedition sales to remain profitable. When gas prices soared, those vehicles…

That’s pretty much the story of my life and all my belongings: Buy cheap shit for cheap and try to make it into something; learn a lot but not enough to stop buying cheap shit that ends up costing more than good shit, just without all of the residual enjoyment.

His cars are the best looking things being pushed to a car-show!

I only ever worked on 2 Yugos, and they were bad. I just remember Excels completely falling apart, the Mikuni carburetors always having fits and the doors being the cheapest-feeling things. The doors felt and sounded like they weighed 2 lbs.

Ooh. That one may have been before my time. I started wrenching full-time in 1990 and never had the pleasure of working on a Pony. Sounds awful tho.

But what if I get parts from eBay, instructions from YouTube and just repair it myself?

In the world of exotic cars, the relationship between dollars and value has been lost. $40,000 is like trading playing cards or muppet pez dispensers to people in this world so I’ll go NP.

It’s the only way I could ever afford a new Aston Martin. Aston Martin: The First taste is Almost Free!

You only consider the Yugo “better than worst” because you clearly remember the original Hyundai Excel: Possibly the ACTUAL worst car in history.

Plus, when you get out and drive your old car, families driving in their sad CUV see it and get excited. You keep cruise nights and car gatherings alive and give a plethora of sights, sounds and smells to impressionable youngins. Therefore you are inspiring the next generation of car lovers, and although they will be…

I guess it was just a dud.

I could tell this would be an incendiary comment.

“Cesar Sayoc is being treated so unfairly by the fake news media!” “He’s a great guy, really”

Pretty sure that’s enough coverage to be considered a partisan wrap.
