Exactly.

Car loan terms are going to just keep getting longer and longer until Americans’ wages start going up or the auto loan business collapses, and, well... wages aren’t going up anytime soon and cars are going to continue getting more expensive.

It doesn’t have to; they’ll be back at the dealership in 3-4 years trying to trade out of it.

Great car to crash into a fountain after faking your own kidnapping to extort your rich husband.

How do you feel about engines jammed in where the spare tire would be?

I’m also sure his harness played a major role.

Unique, wedge-shaped, pop-up headlights, funky doors, and a 300hp rotary.

This car is so far down the scale of awful that it’s swung back around solidly into “awesome” territory. It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow and I’d hoon the shit out of this thing, with this look on my face every time I (slowly) run it to the red before shifting:

For us it’s based on insurance.

For taking the car home overnight we’ll make them sign the forms, no exceptions.

Company policy. An employee must be in the car.
