Love the derp in Pending comments (not gonna be the one to legitimize his stupid comment by bringing it out of the grey) that thinks Trump wouldn’t be the one to use this system to prosecute women seeking abortions.

The AMC Gremlin. This picture is a 1975 Gremlin. The Gremlin even had a Newsweek cover article (4/6/1970) about how Detroit was fighting back with “small cars”.

All of my childhood car loves were perfect...

I loved that Bubble Taurus because of Mark Martin

I was a latch-key kid of the 80s with parents going through a divorce, but even those factors don’t excuse or explain my love of GM’s plastic-clad performance variants. Grand Prix, Beretta GTU, Eurosport VR... it’s amazing that I’m a functional adult.

My ‘92 Dodge Dynasty. It was my first car (shared with mom). It had the ‘big’ 3.3L v6 engine. It wasn’t always the most reliable, since it had nagging electrical issues always draining the battery. Which wasn’t found for 2yrs, till one day my dad had a TV repair man look at it, and he found that the metal tab that…

Looked rad as hell, to 1980's kid me. And, then people started turning them into Ferraris and Lamborghinis! I mean how cool is that?

Little did I actually know, they were gutless little fire hazards.

Ford Tempo. Most of you probably never drove one let alone heard of one. But they were the Jan Brady of Ford’s lineup. You either got an Escort (really basic car) or you got the family car, the Taurus. The Tempo filled a small niche.

The degree of mismanagement at Stellantis and Chrysler is just....amazing.  But all of the big us automakers have just been fucking up.  They priced everything up too fast to get more profits and then it has caused a meltdown and consumers are just not buying.  But hey they got profits for a few years, bought back…

And then running them even more poorly. The push to take Jeep way upmarket was blatantly bad, adding some high-end was fine but doing so while axing out 2/3 of the bottom models was dumb (and the 1 left is getting pretty long in the tooth). And they have let the Wrangler get out of hand, the starting price is too high…

I don’t understand. How could it not when you have a bunch of American cars that are too big to sell anywhere else in the world, and a bunch of European cars that are too small to sell in ‘Merica, and then you don’t bother to try to share crossover platforms until way too late and then produce sub-par cars for too…

Weird how merging a bunch of terrible, poorly run car companies didn’t work out..

The individual personalities who’ve left Hoonigan, Donut, etc... have specifically put forth exactly that. Private Equity is the grand destroyer of originality, but makes a few people wealthier

Everything ventured, nothing gained.

Yeah. Sounds like yet another instance of bankruptcy abuse by the hedge fund corporate wreckers.

One has to wonder just how the hell an automotive lifestyle brand founded by the late Ken Block wound up over a billion dollars in debt just over a decade after it was founded.

I honestly didn’t know that Hoonigan was anything other than a slogan or name. I associated it with Ken Block but that’s as far as it went for me. To discover it’s an actual business with $1.2 billion in debt blows my mind as much as those gymkhana videos. This might be part of their business problem.

Buick Roadmaster. Give me a modern Land Yacht!

Saab Sonett IV based on the Aero-X concept.  The world needs more funky Swedish sports cars.

Geo Metro. Lightweight, low-content, high-mpg, KISS, simple point A to point B transportation device.
