Don’t let your Journey become your final destination.

That happened to some family friends. Due to poor financial decisions in their 20s, they got trapped into a what basically was a forever lease/payoff of a Journey. They only thing they liked about it was that it had a key that didn’t poke holes in the husband’s pockets like the old POS he had been driving.

Avanti was analog,  pretty much anything could be made given a drawing or sample. 

Would the software license be sold in bankruptcy?

Lack of Fisker’s cloud software would be annoying, but mainly it’s for the phone-app (which lets you see where your car is, and send addresses to the car’s nav). The built-in 4G connection is likewise useful for the maps updates and streaming music. But, we already know we can stream music from a Wi-Fi connection to…

Let’s hope it’s more like Avanti, kept on life support for a decade that nobody expected

I think the cloud software is the biggest problem for this and any future car. The same issue exists with computer games when the server goes away.

Which is why every state ought to allow mfg. dealerships that are basically showrooms with a chance to do test drives. Customer then sits down with a mfg rep and does an on-line order for what they want. Set price, no up-selling, no automatically-added options, no “special” offers for paint protectant, pin stripping or…

The really weren’t “profiteering”. Think of how expensive it is to keep a glass palace auto dealership open. The building, the employees, the power bill, the phone bill, the IT staff, the water bill all has to be paid every month. And now instead of (just to pull numbers out of my ass) instead of being able to sell…

I want her to be like Jessi Combs, beautiful and able to re-build an Escort 5-speed transmission.

Didn’t she star in the foreign S&M classic Hondabondage?

The 12-year-old in me can’t stop snickering at all the double entendres she’s saying.

The woman partway through the first video gave me a distinct Moira Rose vibe...

The Lady, if you read a lot of John Sandford, was probably chosen for her overbite. According to Sandford’s novels, female anchors/reporters with over bites were chosen because they make guys think of...certain overbite-related things....

I’m so sorry torch. This is one of those moments when you realize you had something and threw it out. We had the full setup, complete with laserdisc player and testing control pad, in our breakroom until last year. I wish I had photos. It was amazing!

Thank you.  Seeing my old Escorts brings back those first driving days.  I had an 88 wagon 4spd TBI as my first car and a 88 GT 5spd 1.9ho ( also aftermarket turbo charged) a few years later.  I beat the loving crap out of those cars, dirt road and 2 track bombing, harsh UP winters....  Thanks again

I’m disappointed the Ford Escort video didn’t mention the absolutely stupendously amazing 3 speed automatic transmission.

I feel a certain 1970s Barbizon Beauty School commercial vibe going on with the lead image.

Who do I have to murder to go back in time and grab a cherry mid-80's Escort wagon? I’d want it so I could yell out “Eskrrrt!” every time I jammed on the accelerator.

She reminds me of the movie “Election” (1999), specifically the “fill me up” scene.
