Sometimes you see a car and say, I did not know you existed but I have to have you. This is not one of those times.

“If I had a million dollars, I would buy you a K-car - a nice Reliant automobile.”

I think we’ve long since established that 2500$ is well within “Fuck it” territory when talking about a running and driving and generally rust free car. This is a prime target for restoration and that 2500 price is a very low barrier to entry. NP all day, every day. Even if it isn’t your taste, you have to admit it’s…

His comment feels like it was made on his phone while sitting with his legs as wide open as possible on public transportation.

Manuel’s on the Raiders now.

Anyone who puts those rims and those wheel arch covers on has clearly made MANY, MANY other bad decisions when building their car. It probably also has Yosemite Sam or Tasmanian Devil floor mats to boot.

Because so says JD Power, Consumer Reports, ALG and every other source that uses actual customer data to test quality and reliability?

Most People, as it turns out, don’t consider quality. thats why FCA is still alive. They look cool, and they’re cheap. Personal Image is all people care about so its no surprise the brand appeals to todays widespread Vanity.

Neutral: Who doesn’t consider quality?? Nah, I want to spend thousands of my hard earned dollars on something that breaks constantly, will depreciate like a pet rock, the trim falls off just by looking at it, and I have to spend more money just trying to keep it running!

FCA is having too much fun ripping off people who don’t care enough about quality and just pay attention to horsepower and 96 month loan options.

1st Gear: I still have a hard time believing that FCA can’t understand how to make reliable vehicles. Haven’t you learn from Honda and Toyota about building a reliable or are they just too lazy and want to be cheap or are they cursed?

In general, these are great trucks. Just about the perfect tow rig.

NP. My only problem is I would want to use it as intended, and one winter would rust it away.

Yeesh. This is definitely one of those times when the wife tells you to sell the car, so you over-price it so nobody buys it. I’d be willing to pay half that, and that’s on a good day. No thanks.

This is one of the few times I can actually say the phrase “Well, all things considered, I’d rather have a LeBaron”

Holy shit...could you imagine if Trump and Sarah Palin were married!?!

I honestly have no idea where that is.

There’s never been a supermodel lingerie party at my house. I own a PT Cruiser. Draw your own conclusions.

Speaking as someone who works in auto parts manufacturing in the US, automation is indeed the name of the game. We have a subsidiary plant in Mexico. What they do with 7-10 people, we do with 2-3 because our facility is far more automated.
