Say it with me Toyota (and well everyone else).

Not really surprising as these cars appeal largely to younger drivers, and those buyers have been feeling the squeeze of higher rent and other costs lately. The fun stuff is the first to hit the chopping block; at least for the wiser buyers. 

My grandparents had a ‘66 Lincoln Continental coupe with TWO buttons on the floor. One was for the high beam lights. The other, to trigger the AM radio’s scan to the next station function. 

Yeah, the alternative would have been to keep the car and gamble with a bankrupt company. This sounds like a big win, shocked insurance didn’t just cut a check for the door.

Her husband got a similarly shitty loan, so what’s his excuse?

The government didn’t mandate that Ford kill off all of its affordable offerings. Ford was simply following the cynical “build less, charge more” pricing model that a number of car manufacturers thought they could get away with in the wake of pandemic supply chain issues.

Last week a valet sheepishly told me he could drive a stick. Even thought I felt like I was being a bit of a dick (especially since it is only a GTI) I said, “Really?

It’s the car they* didnt want you** to have.

So much this. Bring back tire sidewalls.

I get why most OEM tires save for exceptions are just plain mediocre. I wait for the day the OEMs wear out so I can put on some nice Michellins or Continentals.

Orange stain? Sounds like the new “presidential model.”

Audi: Because fuck you, that’s why.

Nope, fuck that. If the nozzle reaches, I’m taking an available pump. Not gonna sit behind the 2 mooks that are waiting for the one pump that “matches” when there are 2-3 open ones that are completely cromulent for the task.
