I’m assuming here that you’re referring to the original comment on the Volt (“...small, slow...”)?

The comment for the Volt is so ironic because the F15 chassis BMW X5 hybrid (X5-40e) only has a 15 mile range on electric.. Progress??

The popular consensus is that the old American Escort was bad. Maybe so, but my 1988 Escort GT was not bad, and I’d still have it if I didn’t wreck it at a track event back in the day.

The fact that Mazda never gave the US the Mazda6 wagon in ANY format (was really praying for a turbo diesel/6-speed manual). I remember David Tracy drove one on one of his many European trips while he was at Jalopnik.

Agreed with the Carolina Squat, and it’s illegal in NC too, BUT, it still has to be enforced. There are not as many on the road as there used to be where I am, but I’ve seen police/highway patrol not bat an eye as a squatted truck drove by.

Ford’s probably looking at this and getting pissed. Should’ve kept the Flex going.

GM doing GM things, just like it did with the TourX... grab an Opel and rebadge it, then kill it.

Sigh...

Why not just go to the dude’s house directly and talk to him? Oh wait...this IS 2023... 

The LXs were tolerable machines, barely. The best version was the GT, which was my first car (1988 Escort GT). I would still have it today if I hadn’t wrecked it at a track event. The GT specifically wasn’t a BAD car; it was just, in some cases, not AS GOOD as some of the Euro and Japanese cars. After the Escort…

MkII Escort is the real OG. 

I got mine hardwired for a cleaner looking installation and convenience

For the Mazda 5, I had one in the lower part of the bumper. Easily accessible with a baseball bat - FIXT...

Still wish they kept making the TourX though

The spreadsheet is impressive. I just throw receipts, comments and whatever else in One Note for each vehicle..lol.

Afeela vibe coming on like it won’t really make it.. .Sorry... low hanging fruit..

How to say “Deathtrap” without actually saying the word “Deathtrap”.

You must not drive an E30

I’m reminded of Jeep interiors looking at this, and since it’s based off the GC, I’d say they just kinda sent it..

Doesn’t “NADA” also mean “zero”?
