I like the old pre-80s badges, from the likes of Olds, Pontiac and even Plymouth.

So THAT’S what it is! I had no idea, so thanks!

Nissan took over the 400 credit score crowd from Hyundai / Kia about a decade ago.

“It’s easily the weakest attempt at “Hey, this car is really an SUV” to ever roll off a car lot.”

I was too busy spending quality time in the ER because I could no longer hold up my head without assistance to take the pictures. But there are a couple of angles where you can clearly see the whole car twisted (the dash had a strange list compared to the rear window frame), the driver’s seat bent rearward about where…

It’s times like this that I miss David Tracy. I need a deep dive into the JoJo Siwa Jeep, complete with pictures of the rusted out frame that he’ll never get around to actually fixing.

That JoJo Jeep doesn’t even have 4WD! 

I misread your writing of “Burt Reynolds is creepy and contemplates having his way with a sleeping Lonnie Anderson.”

yay reels and wheels! those guys are awesome

Knight Rider 2010.

Two words: Scott Eastwood. As soon as I saw his name I knew OVERDRIVE was garbage. 

I’m from Virginia where our bad habit is making everything you do in a car a ticketable offense.

That’s amazing, thank you for sharing! I wonder how much different automobile history would have been had they gotten all of them to market and established themselves in such a grand fashion!

I actually thought it was better in person than pictures, unless things went downhill since the beginning of the month.

My Smarts have a similar problem, and I never thought of it to be a glitch!

Well actually you aren’t that far off! Coincidentally the third generation Toyota Carina (A60) shares a lot of parts with the fourth generation Corolla (E70) where the Charmant is based on. The Carina is slightly larger (wheelbase is 2500mm instead of 2400mm), so I guess it would indeed evolve into a Carizard!
And…

Great stuff!

I’m sorry, all these stories suck compared to the Car For LASIK story. That one is in a class of its own in the category of sketchy. When LASIK was first mentioned I started getting the same uneasy skeevy feeling I got the first time I watched Saw.

Please, being a passenger on the Hindenburg would be better than flying into LaGuardia.

Roadhouse. Dalton has a gorgeous Mercedes 560SEC, then gets a ‘65 Riviera. Of course the douchebag of the movie, Wesley, has a Foxbody Mustang. And then there’s the best vehicle of all, Bigfoot.
