I mean isn’t that par for the course with Nissan. The 350z came out in the 2003 model year. It was mildly refreshed in 2009 model year to the 370z. The 370z is still being produced into the 2020 model year with 0 plans of being replaced. Let that sink in.

1st: Make no mistake, companies don’t care about you. No matter how much they pretend, they don’t. If you are an employee, you are merely a number/input widget. If they can find an input widget that is cheaper that does the work, they will let you go. Greed is the fundamental driver in this country. Mostly by…

Jesus! Enough with the Corvette stories! This is like the 50th story on relating to the C8 Vette. We get it, its going to be sweet and nice bang for the buck but I am starting to suspect you are on the GM payroll. JUST STOP

Neutral: We’ll I had just escaped Michigan and moved to Chicago with my 1989 Oldsmobile 88. Then the crap hit the fan. Had a decent entry level job but I learned to walk a lot as gassing up the 88 took away my beer money. I dropped 10lbs by riding my bike and walking everywhere the subway didn’t take me.

Michigan was really in a recession way before the “National Recession”. I say around 9/11 it basically never recovered and floundered for about 10-12 years.

1st: Years ago Dan Akerson the CEO of GM, said they need to sprinkle holy water on Lincoln as it was as good as dead. Well, after years of chasing the Germans with little or nothing to show for it (except billions losts) Lincoln is back. The Aviator is Lincoln’s Mic Drop moment. 

Make sure they are jean cargo shorts

The dream cruised jumped the shark, a long long time ago. It’s a shell of it’s former self. It’s way too crowded. The anyway to make a buck crowd has made it even worse. They should just call it the The Woodward “no fun zone” dream crawl. 

In both the Fiesta and Focus, if you get the manual you have a terrific little car. The DCT is the only reason not to buy these cars. Well that and the love for CUV’s.

And this is why Acura is Acura. Take Accord, put in bigger engine and throw some nicer leather in it. Boom, the try hards think its a luxury car. Still FWD....still trying to be the FWD BMW...still trying to pedal SH AWD as something special. PASS!

I got a fake speeding ticket by a camera recently, in an area out of state. I say fake because it was strictly a money grab. No points on my license or insurance hike but if I don’t pay I go to collections.

Wow a list of bro cars for the most part. Now, can we take that population and determine how many vape or wear  flat bill hats?

You are so wrong. Toyota tried multiple times. The Titan nor Tundra or T100 didn’t make the domestics up their game at all. Domestic vs Domestic is what has done it. On paper the Tundra was nice when introduced but doing truck things, not so much. Same with the Tundra. Add to it, they don’t update them at all versus…

Tundra =FLOP, Titan = FLOP, TITAN XD = FLOP

The only thing that kept the X-Type from being a Mondeo was the AWD and heaps of leather. Ford Engine, Ford Platform. Plus, the AWD was notoriously bad with several issues. Thanks but no thanks.

Norwood Jewell merely got a slap on the wrist. It’s way too easy for anyone in leadership to become corrupt in the UAW. People know if they become a UAW rep they are set. Easy f’ing street, they just have to make their play and pretend they care about the folks on the floor. Then they can act like investment bankers…

100-200 year difference going to sway you from buying what you want....PFFFTTTTT!!!!!!

Hell, I put premium in my Fusion for optimal engine performance. Yes, it will run on 87 fine but the manual even states 91+ for peak performance.

So basically FCA, then Ford saw the light that making cars profitably with dwindling car market was next to impossible so they got out. How many articles on Jalop did we see mocking them. Well, they were right.

A truck is a utility knive that is great to have, if you remotely have anything truck ish to do. People get AWD/4WD vehicles all the time for those just in case scenarios. Where is all the hate for those vehicles? BTW, if you ever need a truck immediately (or AWD/4WD for that matter) and you don’t have one. Think of…
