You need to switch automatic emergency braking and power windows.

This the most “meh” car yet.

Don’t know how many hicks there are in Michigan, but hicks or not, the incompetent fucks building Ram trucks there are UAW-protected since they pay their dues.

1976 Mustang II Cobra II, white with blue stripes. (Which transmission is not important, but must be a factory 302 car, motor mounts and other parts for V8 swaps are nearly unobtainium at this point. I’ve had three II coupes over the years, including my current 12-second car, but I really, deep down, want a Cobra).

Amen.

The UAW is a cancer.

Mustang IIs and square-body GM trucks.

Well, it just so happens that I own the kinds of toys that need a truck to pull them, own a small tract of property out in the sticks that I play around on from time-to-time, and have hobbies that require hauling large amounts of stuff. I also go places that aren’t paved to so some of these things.

The Sienna is still far more reliable, but the new Pacifica is real nice.

Found the sadomasochist.

No. I worked for one that got shut down when Chrysler consolidated the marques.

So-nata good set of puns.

Toyota and Lexus cars give you an audible warning that they’re still running that these idiots are ignoring. Even if the cars these people are dying from don’t, the vast majority of cars have tachometers these days. If they can’t see that it’s not at zero before they get out, let Darwinism take it’s course.

This hasn’t been true in decades.

1977 Ford Mustang II Cobra II, white with blue stripes.

Ford inflates the hell out of the F150's advertised fuel economy anyway. My “23mpg highway” 2014 2wd with a 3.7 averaged 17mpg highway, the same average as the 2008 V8 4wd 4Runner I replaced it with.

You forgot the V8 4th-gen Toyota 4Runner in your “all the best SUVs”... but of course, it has four doors and wouldn’t fit your narrative.

I work on cars for a living for a dealership, and have worked in parts or service for dealerships for most of my adult life.

This is exactly what I did to my ‘75 Mustang II coupe. Took it from 139hp at the flywheel to 276hp at the rear wheels, and put it on a diet. The result is a 12-second street car that everyone assumes is slow. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition... or a 12-second smog-era car.

If VW would just sell me a six-speed, TDI, 4WD, 4-door Amarok, I’d swallow my hatred of everything about German cars and buy one of the damned things.
