Early focus's were scarcely better. Pretty rough around the edges those ones.

Especially now that they've just been traded in in massive quantities.

Good job Raph! I hate fixing any wiring, but as a novice mechanic myself....I certainly know that feel. Was damn proud when I actually changed my spark plugs....all by myself!! hahaha.

Your car is awesome. Thanks for the encouragement!

For someone who is about 26 and hopefully going to be in the market in a few years....this is great news to hear.

As someone who hopes to enter the classic car market in about 3-4 years....this is fine by me!

...classic car prices may fall....in a few years when I am ready to buy a classic car....PERFECT!

I managed to have fun in that 3-pot little Mirage. I drove it hard and pushed its limits and the result was a pretty good time, considering. I drove it with my wife and son and never once did I feel like my life was in danger. It's so vastly better than the entry-level cars we had years ago, it's not even funny.

Somehow I knew my car would end up here as the butt of the joke.

I love low-end cars. I love what low-end cars used to be. There was once an honest dignity about a cheap car that made it useful, easy to maintain, and classless. I love exposed screw heads and easily visible seams on things because that means if something needs tweaking or fixing, you can actually figure out what…

Is he really bitching about seeing a visible seam? Was he under the illusion that the car was hand-carved out of one perfect aged piece of wormwood by a Swiss craftsman? Is he the fucking Sultan Of Luxuristan, so refined and cultured he can't have his eyes violated by the sight of a seam?

Oh yes the door release. Rented a Charger...exact same gooddamn problem.

Gas cap release. What idiot in Chrysler though the inside of the god damn door storage compartment was a good place for it.

This 100%.

I had luck with Budget rental last year. I needed a car for 4 days to go to OH from VA. Turns out it was cheaper to get the car for a whole week then just the couple days I needed it. $450 for the week for a 25 year old male. It was the first time I rented a car so I wanted to make it special and booked a 2014 Mustang…

Now, I'm sure many of you have just completed a vigorous, protracted spit-take and are now wiping the coffee/gin/Yoo-Hoo from your monitors. A stop light. Not a brake light. Keep in mind, there hasn't been a new innovation in taillight function since 1986's Center High Mount Stop Lamp — and I'm sure all of you…

Or New Brunswick lots of moose and potatoes.

Nah. Corvette is 'Murica! Telsa is American. Pretty big difference.

Yeah but it's a san fransico car, not a 'Murica car.

Yup. Ford F150 has been the best selling vehicle in Canada for a decade now, and one of the top 2 selling vehicles in Canada since 1995.
