Obama racked up debt to fix the shitshow that was left behind by Bush. Under Obama, people got back jobs as a result of that spending. The government deficit was curtailed towards the end of his presidency, but the first thing Republicans did after Trump was cut taxes.

Maybe Mahk isn’t returning her phone calls...

Don’t release a Continental without suicide doors...duh.

Much better than the Miata. Not only does it look better, but now it DEFINITELY sounds better (Miata never sounded good). Also, the torque of the 124 Abarth really makes it enjoyable, and it’s an ECU tune away from blowing any Miata out of the water. I really see this as THE answer to the Miata.

I like it more than the NC Miata by a large margin, and slightly better than the ND. YMMV. It’s no NB, thatsfordamnsure.

SW20 was a better car.

i grow weary of this world

Baffles me how Ford is considered so close to junk status. Like I get they have had plenty of issues and their stock is currently worth 9.82 a share, but then you have the never ending dumpster fire known as Tesla being currently valued at 300.64 a share. Granted Tesla is down a lot, they were in 400+ not that long…

Settle down child. It’s just your turn. I’m a bona fide GenXer. People shit on us too. My dad was a 50's greaser and then a 60's hippie. People shit on them too.

I have bought/leased 4 cars in the past 6 years, and I never had an issue with the salesperson since most of the pricing details were already negotiated via email. It’s always the finance manager, who tries to sell you other shit ($1500 for 7yr/100K extended “Diamond” warranty), and takes over an hour and half to get…

I have always had decent to good experience with the sales folks. It’s the finance guys that get on my nerves.

lol yeah it’s the millions of people who have to buy cars that choose to make it suck, independently from one another.

Our 1995 Ranger does not take up more than parking spot, nor does it spill into other lanes of traffic. We use it to haul stuff all the time. I also take on photography trips which require some off-road driving (obviously we’re not talking about the Rubicon Trail or something like that) and it gets the job done every…

Should be enough for the headline every day.

Seems unnecessarily complex. I’ve had one of these between my 99 and 02 Silverado for going on 14 years now. Lifetime warranty (got a new fabric, clamps and latch at about 8 or 9 years in - no questions asked).

Yes, yes they do.  It’s become quite clear that almost none of the hardcore “manual or die” crowd has driven anything other than their parent’s beige econobox or slush wagon that had pretend “manumatic” functionality.  Every performance-biased car with a manually shiftable auto and every car with a DCT or…

“Was that the timing belt?”

Hell of a ticket. I doubt he’ll be able to dodge this in court.
