The Beretta was a good looking car.

i came here to say this.

My partner has a 2005 Magnum R/T. It drives and handles excellently. It’s too bad that it was in the dark days of Daimler cost-cutting the shit out of the Chrysler products, so the interior is awful. The plastics are Playskool-grade, the dashboard has warped, it rattles everywhere, and various pieces have outright…

1234 - Now I gotta change the combination on my luggage!

TIL the Lincoln Versailles existed.  Honestly never heard of it before.

Tomorrow’s QOTD: What is the best engine size that contains the last four digits of your Social Security Number?

The Garp Theory: A plane has just crashed into this house we are considering buying.  We should buy this house as the chances of this happening again are astronomical.

You may be right there. It’ll be tough to sell $50K ICE Dakotas against $40K Ram Classics. If the Dakota is a plug in hybrid like the Ramcharger, then its no worry, as that’s a whole different market. I’m looking forward to a Plug in HEV truck.

There’s a few things going on here. Mopar keeps it in production for a few specific reasons, which one is to keep an economical option for fleet buyers or even as a full-size option in the mid-size price range of the its competition.

I always thought they should’ve put the 3.0L EcoDiesel in this car.... would have made for a helluva cross-country tourer.

Mitsubishi Legnum VR4. A gallant VR4 in wagon form!

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me

I would argue, any of the performance versions of the earliest, modern, models might, the less tech the better.  The amount of computers and tech is what’s really going to kill modern cars 20, 30 or 40 years from now.  I for one have a 2020 33S and love it, it replaces my 2006 300C.  for a big full size sedan you…

And why did the 300 survive for so long with hardly any changes? (Especially since the current gen’s smoothed-out look is so much better than the previous gen’s faceted look.) Because it is one truly handsome design. You want to point to a car model that deserves the moniker of “classic”—withstood the test of time and…

That’s great news. Toyota doesn’t do orders, and never really has. Dealers can kind of request what they want, but they are really beholden to whatever Toyota (or one of its distributors, in regions where those are applicable) sends. And the Toyota dealers have been wildin’. Markups galore on anything remotely…

I love how every Biden scandal are literally just stories of him being a good dad

True enough. But back then when that re-badged Dodge 024 was put on the market, the 2nd gen had only been out of production for little over a decade. Now it’s been over half a century since the 2nd gen’s day and the car is now recognized as not a classic, but an all-time classic. IE: the transgression was more blatant…

Not bad, although I like fifth element cars better.

33 hours stuck in a truck?

In California you must first apply for purchase by filling out a 148 page form in triplicate. Then you have to put your left foot, take your left foot out, put your left foot in, and shake it all about. While you are waiting for your forms to be rejected so you can reapply, you will have to apply for your permit to…
