@Stefan Mullikin: Seriously, it's harder to fail than to succeed.

@schnitzengruben: Well, hi there!

@Shep_Shepherd: Precisely. And a high-powered two-door Oldsmobile sounds lovely, but indeed... it's not.

A few grand worth of awesomeness and a couple grand worth of rarity.

Get out of my head, Hardigree - I was thinking "if it has to be a new vehicle, it has to be a Ranger".

@harrison383: I quite like that dashboard.

A few points:

@porsche9146: I said that. In fact, parts of it would be streets behind the rest of the car as they rusted off...

@Psiu! Puxa!: You're right, Mopar or no car!: Damn right - though the M46 wasn't much better, I'm told. As a commuter car, it'd be great while I take my 244/AW70 off the road and turbocharge 'er... not even the heavy-duty '71/'72 and it's still beefier than the manual.

@BigEngineSmallCar: Oh man, the Carlton. Well, if I didn't have to keep it running myself, those'd all be brilliant choices.

@doug-g: One of the best-styled Chryslers of all time, and streets ahead of the '57- models that followed, as far as build quality.

@blackfriday490: Nope, sorry, I agree on all counts.

My daily driver, except with black window frames, a driver's airbag, and slightly different badging.

@twinturbo2: Idiots?

@twinturbo2: Agreed - except that bike lanes are usually cut out of existing roads, narrowing them. It's a cyclist's duty to be visible, follow all traffic laws, and stay to the outside of their lane if they aren't keeping up with traffic, and it's a driver's duty to keep an eye out, leave a few feet when passing a…

@petersterncan: That was implicit; only once they upgraded to sequential MPFI was it at all competitive (and then they had to cut it down again for emissions).

@7shades: I wave/salute/thumbs-up/flash the peace gesture to drivers of older European iron, especially 240s and older bricks. I reckon I occasionally get a smile in return.

@twinturbo2: I already ride a bicycle and like it... just not to work, because I work 16 miles away.

What would you get? You'd get an Aurora, or perhaps an Intrigue.

@Shep_Shepherd: In that sense, it was perfect.
