There’s a bad habit around here of pretending that because one thing is bad, that any other option carries no possible issues.

Salespeople add zero value to the experience. I know more about the cars I’m interested n then they do. They don’t even know the simple things like what they actually have in inventory. Everything they do they look up on the computer, and they are the one thing between me and a good price on a car. If I can actually…

170,000 miles, dirty hatch carpet, rust starting, if it runs well, this is a $3500 car.  No dice

I as an Oingo Boingo fan this is disappointing. Dude stopped touring because he was losing his hearing. I’d love to see OB again- I was a kid when I did.. I was at one of the Nightmare shows he did at the Hollywood Bowl. We thought it was one off, but he keeps on doing them? It sucks I can’t possibly see him outside…

Interiors that aren’t black. My first car had a bordello red interior and it was way more interesting than my all black interior now.

While I think the obvious answer is physical switches instead of touchscreen hell, it is so obvious that I gotta choose something else. Tailfins.

Colors. Actual colors.

Back in the late 80s/Early 90s, Mazda’s had oscillating air vents.

Replaceable head units. Can’t wait to find out what it costs to replace one of these integrated iPads like screens attached to your dash that has every function routed through it.

Forget corner vent windows, while it’s fun to have 70 mph air blasting in your face, those aren’t coming back. But how about actual full-size windows? You know, the kind where we can comfortably drive with our elbow on top of the door while still having our left hand at the 9 o’clock position on the wheel. Large…

Deep dish wheels. I know that with modern suspension components and styling it has fallen out of fashion, but there is nothing like a nice wheel with a relatively neutral offset to it.

Good sightlines with limited to no blind spots.

Manual shift transfer cases on trucks. With a stick right through the floor. The wrangler might be the only one left. Every other 4x4 is electronic shift anymore. With computers, and actuators, and axle disconnects, all more stuff to break or second guess when you make the decision to shift into 4wd.

Basic Car keys. Get rid of the start button now so prevalent in cars since you need the key-fob anyway within proximity to start the car.

I have a couple of things that immediately came to mind.

Liftbacks on coupes. (or coupes in general). Trunk volume isn’t the issue, access is.

Bumpers that are separate from the rest of the body panels and are made to actually bump into things. My first car was a 1986 VW Scirocco that had magnificent black-rubber bumpers. A few minor fender-benders and bumps (I was a typical teenage driver and definitely learned a lot with that car) and you could never tell.…

Cheap and easily replaceable round headlights.

The girl’s name was Obianuju Osuegbu, there wasn’t “some wild mental gymnastics” to blame her there was just some plain old ingrained racism. Would happily wager my life savings that if it was a white cheerleader that got killed than the driver would be facing vehicular manslaughter.

Or become a cop, either way
