No gazebo laws in the good ole U. S. of A. That’s what freedom tastes like, my friends.

That’s the hazard flasher, it automatically goes off in a crash. Don’t be impressed.

Anecdotal, but this is an overhead view of the local Chevy dealer. The area inside the yellow line is now empty. (And even in the aerial image the inventory is lower than normal.)

This happened to my parents but when the space cop saw theirs was just a lowly ‘78 Fairmont 2-door sedan he let them go.

He might be able to afford to but I bet the elitist who said that has never been near a race track.

Or draft the semi so if he does fall you catch him on the hood of your car and he can hang on to the windshield wipers. He’ll appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Motional or Stellantis?

Folks, I think we have a winner.

Have to disagree. The MkII Jetta was a better expression of form follows function and had a more purposeful look and stance without bowing to contemporary design idioms.

Easy, cowboy. Just making an observation, didn’t mean to offend.

The artist was careful not to show the position of the fuel tank sitting just ahead of the front seat passengers’ legs. 

My first trip to Ireland I saw a few DSs on the streets of Dublin and other larger cities but couldn’t make out what the emblem was supposed to be. Finally asked someone and then looked it up. Have to say, they are very distinctive looking when you see them in person. No more single spoke steering wheels, though,…

I remember the first time I paid cash for a car at a dealer. We had done business with this dealer before and always financed. This particular sale we had the negotiations out of the way, paperwork all laid out, and the salesman asked, “Have you thought about how you want to finance it?” I said, “I assume you’ll take…

I looked at a ‘65 Mustang with the six-cylinder and a 3-speed manual. Trust me, they are no fun to drive and the extra forward gear on this one won’t be much better. Plus it doesn’t look like it has power steering or brakes so, yeah, this thing would be a chore to daily drive.

“So you want to eliminate a reference to drug use and replace it with a reference to gambling?!”

Same market segment as defined by the standards of the day. Interesting to note, though, compared to the 1980 Corolla, the current model is about 22 inches longer, has an 11 inch longer wheelbase and weighs nearly 1000 pounds more. It is now larger and heavier than a 1980 Toyota Corona, its big brother back then. (But…

My experience with my local Ford dealer is about the only reason I’m sticking with the brand — for now. Small dealer in a very small town whose customers include a lot of farmers, very relaxed atmosphere overall. I bought a 2020 Fusion in February (largely because it was being discontinued) but if it weren’t for the…

Agreed. Fields was a car guy, he got it and had a passion for it. I honestly don’t think Hackett ever understood that the company he headed made products people feeling deeply about. Cars aren’t file cabinets.

There’s more than a kernel of truth to this warning.

William Howard Taft fun facts: At 350+ pounds he was America’s largest president and was the only president to serve in another high position after leaving office when he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court by Pres. Warren G. Harding. There is no truth to the rumor that he once got stuck in a White House…
