That tooling has had quite the long run!

The tooling is finally wearing out :p

My suggestions are impeccable, so I don’t understand the question.

Not bad for the era. And those could be fixed on a high schoolers budget. Go tell 16 year old you they did alright.

I have more examples of people that did not take my advice and ended up with too many crap dodge journeys that at least they survived when they totalled them. 

In hindsight, I should have told JFK to go with the hardtop Continental.

16 year old me recommended a late 80s Chrylser LeBaron coupe to a high school friend who was about to get his license because I thought it was a good looking car. You may kick me off the site if necessary.

A Cobalt. I rented one right around when they came out, my grandmother was needing a new car to replace a 90s Lumina, and I suggested that she buy one. She purchased one and liked the car fine but was adamant that she get into something larger so she eventually traded for a Malibu. The only major issue I remember she…

Rivian learned how to make a durable pickup while Ford learned how to make better electric motors and batteries. No need to develop a vehicle together. They already got what they needed from each other.

Do you have some sort of factual citation for that?

The Spark actually doesn’t sell that poorly. It is no record breaker, but it sells better than many cars that get good reviews, are larger, faster, and more SUV that supposedly everybody wants.

I rented a Spark in June. Honestly? I was really surprised at how GOOD it was for how cheap it is. These are $13k cars, NEW and the one we rented had all of the goodies you could imagine. Power mirrors, AC, power windows, an infotainment system AND it was totally just fine keeping up on the freeway. Hell- even my 6 ft…

I am American and I want a 200+ mile EV capable for 85 mph for less than $30K and I have cash waiting.

This is what I’ve been saying the whole time, but no....we need 10 more 100k enormous luxury EV SUVs and pickups, apparently.

At least everyone knows that you’re there.

Instead of being clever or creative, I’m just going to say that my daily is already available as a commercial vehicle:

For a practical choice, have to throw my vote to a service body pickup. Sure, Ram has its ram boxes, but why limit yourself to two when you can use the whole bedsides and still fit 4x8 sheets in the bed? Plus, the old ones are dirt cheap!

I’d like to drive around in Unimog with the “high speed” axles.

I’d just take a medium duty truck, preferably set up with a dump bed.
