It’s cute how these twenty and thirty somethings get all nostalgic and romantic over those old 70s crap can cars. I lived through the horror of a new Vega that would just stop running. In the middle of the road. In January Detroit. I rode in my aunts cute little Datsun that had so many rust holes in it the heater…

Now I picture an astronaut trying to be “stealthy” with some sabotage and ending up just spinning around in zero-g while holding a power drill.

The craziest part of the fascination with Nathan Peterman is that it almost entirely has to do with the fact that old men in the NFL are still enamored by QBs who play under center, even as college teams and coaches show them that you don’t need some mythical drop back passer to have a successful offense, and in fact…

I disagree on some of the details of your assessment. The newest Foz feels massive compared to the trim dimensions of the first gen, picking up three inches of width and five inches of height. It still hasn’t cracked two tons of curb weight though, so that’s something, though it is up a couple hundred pounds even in…

The Bears have a legit great defense and an up an down offense that really needs the head coach and playcaller to get out of his own way with the cutesy stuff. 

Every cake needs icing.

The British Baking Show flag is legit though. It’s impossible to watch all that cake without rubbing one out.

No, fire McCain. That’s it. I’m sick of the idea that media outlets must condone both-sides-isms when clearly one side is utterly and completely wrong. Fuckwit McCain is always 100 percent wrong and needs to fuck off. Sam Bee should never have apologized for “feckless cunt” because it accurately describes all these…

I want to give this comment and the article 10000000 stars. It hits the nail on the head, a lot of the struggle is the perception of the big 3 small cars, which yes, it is their own fault, but its pretty clear that even when they do make something good it just doesn’t matter anymore. I have heard from so many family…

Tom - Thank you for this article. Not only does it make sense and a counter argument to comments, it’s also not sensationalized and very well thought out, unlike a lot of Jalop articles as of late. I continue reading the comments of the GM news articles and bash my head against my keyboard at the keyboard warriors…

Indeed. Generally, I’m not so concerned about amenities at the dealership, as I try not to buy cars that’ll have me stuck there for significant amounts of time.

My local Chevy dealer is a throw-back to the bad old days. Leisure suits, cigarettes, “how can I get you in a car today?”, porn-satches, the works. Their service department is just a wing of the sales department (Oh, you need an oil change... oh, did I mention we are running a 0%/72 promotions on cars that don’t need…

One thing I’m not seeing here - dealership experience.

We need to increase taxes on corporations and capital gains. Make it retroactive for the capital gains. Also retroactive repatriation taxes. Then take that money and create jobs programs for green initiatives, finding for green companies, and tax breaks on electric cars. Also increase taxes on gas and create an SUV…

Welcome to late capitalism where making a good, cost effective product isn’t enough to satiate investors.

There’s also the matter of having built millions upon millions of crap cars in the past.

Nate Silver should probably shut up on criticizing other people’s models for a while after he nearly caused heart attacks for everyone watching his site on election night a few weeks ago with a “new and improved” model that for about two hours said Republicans were 50/50 to keep the House.

You talking about the LaCrosse or the Impala? They’re both typical GM quality(laughable).
