Smoak on the Water's saved articles

any Nissan purchased with a CVT transmission is an exercise in self-loathing and hatred. 

The worse car I can remember since my parents 1979 Chevette.

This list is pretty spot on but I would add the Chrysler 200. What’s wrong with you Torch?

yes! HOW could a brand new car be so bad!? Read more

Yeah, I test drove a Versa way back when and it was comical how bad it was. Like something from an SNL skit or something.

I’m pretty sure I helped fund a private island for Bezos somewhere. Read more

Bigger stores wiped out the little stores, bigger stores were wiped out by WalMart, etc. The hollowed out effect was happening long before Amazon was around.
