My Sundance was my first car, too. It wasn’t completely terrible in a crash - but I did find out the hard way the airbag was small enough that even with it fully inflated I could tap my forehead on the steering wheel.

I saw one too, also bizarrely clean. Gotta wonder who saves those, and why...
The Plymouth Sundance. It was the least interesting of the two nameplates slapped on that car. Gutless, boring to look at, uncomfortable to ride in, handled like an old mattress, and just in every way the worst offering of its era. I haven’t seen a more miserable bucket of bolts since.
$4,999 too much. These were awful.
Only NP if that $2500 is coming to me, for the displeasure of owning it.
With our insurance rates, I’m surprised Michigan isn’t on this list...
On a cross country road trip, amenities and comfort are really what I look for. My Crosstrek took me from Detroit to California and back twice, two of those drives pulling a trailer, and 3 pets in the cabin with me. That class of vehicle is pretty ideal, by my reckoning. Good enough gas mileage, roomy and comfy enough…
I think at least 30% of the comments here now are complaining about the place, too! Ah well, it was a good run, until the Hogan/Thiel/GMG implosion. I’ve been avoiding Autopian because Tracy and Torch were some of the least interesting writers on Jalopnik at the time, but I guess I may well have to check it out more…
Pretty sure celebrating Jalopnik’s 20th anniversary with nothing but reposts tells the only tale that matters, there...
The Frog was one of the best of that era of Tamiya’s cars. It had the upgraded transmission from the Hornet, and a better frame and suspension setup.
Getting hilarious close to the era where every word of the “article” is going to be a link. How tangentially related (or even unrelated, other than by a word) the linked pages are is twice as hiliarious. Only 4 of the sentences longer than 4 words in this entire article don’t contain at least one link...
Just following the time honored tradition set by GG Allin...
No, you’re misunderstanding me. As is, if someone finds my phone they can go into the emergency contacts and call my partner or my father to get it back to me.
Nobody needs to see my address or legal name, if I happen to lose my phone, or it gets stolen.
This is something that’s bothered me the whole time Progressive has had me with their “digital” ID card.
I owned the early 9th gen Civic. It was that bad. It wasn’t a car, it was a transportation appliance. No character, no driving feel, just...If over-smooth mashed potatoes had 4 wheels and an engine? They’d be that car. It’s a car for people don’t care even a little about driving, or looking good while doing so.
Ice and snow aren’t always the biggest hazard to visibility in Michigan - a lot of the time salt is. Sure hope they’ve got a workaround for it building up on every surface!
Mind you I’m saying this as someone who wouldn’t volunteer to serve in any branch, but uh... Wouldn’t being mad that the NG gets to go home to civilian life be more anger by the full timers at themselves, for being dumb enough to sign on full time? Everyone was getting sent to the sandbox equally during that whole…
Pardon me if this sounds like I’m challenging you, but I have a question out of genuine curiosity on the subject of the NG getting ragged on by regular Army and the like.
Well rest assured, your company backed the better horse
