You signed up to post that, huh.

“Jeeps are garbage.”

Jeeps and rangerovers all over this list.

The racing is garbage, NASCAR is really just WWE with cars.

I always thought the Ford GT40 was a stunner, with its purposeful stance and swooping curves. Really, any of the paint combinations looked great on it, but the orange-on-blue livery was my favorite.

The Richard Petty ‘70 Plymouth Superbird:

Its a head scratcher for sure.

Right. How do you explain the Korean and Japanese automakers continuing to produce small cars? Kia has 4 small cars for sale that start under $22k. The cheapest Hyundai is an Elantra for $22k. Entry level Japanese sedans/hatches start under $25k. They seem to be doing fine to me. The law has no blame for Ford’s lack…

And what does that have to do with government mandates? Honda sold 200,000 Civics alone in 2023. Were they exempted from these onerous government mandates?

When exactly did the government mandate the killing of small hatchbacks and sedans?

No, the manufacturers are run by shortsighted people who chase quarterly profits. The government didn’t have much at all to do with it.

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.

They all thought they could be Tesla on day 1.

The Taco only gets 24mpg with the hybrid, which is pretty disappointing honestly. The Maverick gets between 35-40mpg and is cheaper to buy

So is my AARP card carrying dad better off with the Tacoma hybrid or a Ford Maverick hybrid that will only see the driveway, grocery stores, and the occasional Lowe’s run for mulch?

“Unless your purchase is primarily dictated by cost . . .” For many, if not most potential buyers, cost IS a big part of the equation, especially when looking at midsize pickups. If funds are virtually unlimited, those lucky buyers will, most likely, be looking at their full-size options.

The stock market is magical spinning bullshit.

I cannot wait for the UAW to start racking up win after win after win across the South. Those workers deserve better; they deserve a union.

“At $469 billion, the company is still valued at more than nine times the market capitalization of General Motors Co. or Ford Motor Co.”

I nearly spat out my coffee reading this bit:

“Basically, everyone who really wanted an EV now has one, and the stuff that is being offered right now, especially by Tesla, is not resonating with less affluent and more skeptical consumers. Surely the Robotaxi will fix this.”
