I don’t really get all the hate people heap on Ohio. I have family that live there, and granted, I haven’t been there in over 5 years, but the only thing that stuck out to me were lots of Amish, and lots of corn.

What in the Sam hell is a puma?

He does. He’s just fixing it up after years of neglect. His children run the business for him now. He’s retired, but he still hangs around. Same with Jim Kramer. His son, Bob Jr. races RC monster trucks too. Look up Trigger King RC on YouTube.

Hell. Yes.

Does it have turn signals?

FTFY

As an owner of a 2004 for 9 years, once you get one, you’ll never want to get rid of it. You’ll have to deal with all the “THAT AINT NO REAL GTO LOOKS LIKE A GRAND AM MADE BY HOLDEN 15 MILES UPHILL IN THE SNOW BOTH WAYS” people, but it’s so worth it.

You mean cars Pontiac got right that their GM overlords ruined.

My wife and I love our Pontiacs.

If it’s just an electrical fault, you might be able to get away with just replacing the electronic part bolted to the top of the ABS modulator. No brake bleeding necessary.

It’s a shitbox. Plain and simple. As I’ve posted before, an ex of mine had one and it was in the shop weekly. Granted, I was working in the shop, but still. That ugly-ass bodywork makes certain repairs fall on a spectrum between knuckle-removing and goddamn impossible. Fuck the PT Cruiser.

My grandfather had a fully loaded New Yorker of that era. Still to this day the most comfortable car I’ve ever sat in.

I get that. I just find it ridiculous that Ford made a big stink about how the Focus Active isn’t coming here due to tariffs, but we still kinda but not really get a Focus Active, AND it’s built here.

It would be as much of a waste as the Beetle Dune was if they didn’t give it the option. I expect that kind of idiocy from VW, I figured pre-Hackett Ford knew better.

Pretty sure it was supposed to.

So you’re telling me it looks like a FOCUS, and since it’s a crossover, it’ll be marketed to people with an ACTIVE lifestyle, and be based on the same platform as the Focus Active, but Ford won’t bring us the Focus Active?

When Red Bull GRC was a thing, I always rooted for Bucky. He seems like a good, down to earth guy. Not half bad behind the wheel either.

I thought there already was a car sponsored by Tide?

Mazda’s Toyota Matrix, yes or no?

Kinda reminds me of a grown-up, first gen Matrix. Or as my wife calls it, her “Mary Poppins car.” If this comes with all wheel drive, you might have me sold.
