You tow a trailer, and actually use your pickup for pickup truck purposes... so, you’re not the kind of person I’m talking about.

I second that... #COTD

Coupes, Sedans and Wagons used to be the staples of the automotive industry... until some dumb marketing people turned Trucks and SUVs from being utilitarian vehicles into the next cool vehicle to own. It all started with Dodge’s “Lil Red Express”, and later GMC brought out the “Syclone” and the “Typhoon”, and so on.…

Ok... that’s how it should have come from the factory... instead, they sold it with lifts in its shoes... and that made it dumb. One shouldn’t have to buy a wagon with lifts in its shoes and then get lowering springs and an alignment to have it be the wagon it should have been in the first place.

Because their idiocy directly effects the my new car vehicle selection. The more that people who don’t need and SUV or Pickup buy SUVs and Pickups, the less cars and wagons become available. So, that’s why I should give a fuck. One day, my choices will be a crossover, an SUV, or a Pickup truck, and frankly, I think…

Yes, “crossovers” are basically wagons... and because they are pretend SUVs, they’re just stupid. They’re the automotive equivalent of a short person with lifts in their shoes.

Right? In addition to being quicker, faster, better handling, and having a better MPG rating, it’s also more comfortable with a smoother ride, and much better looking inside and out. It’s worth the extra few grand. Not sure why anyone would pick the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk over the AMG E63S Wagon. The E63S Wagon is…

They could make their cars profitable if they wanted to... if they can make big ass SUVs and Pickups and make a profit off of them, surely they could do the same with cars.

Ford is #14 on the list of the 20 most profitable automotive manufacturers in the world.

Digitless... for some reason, that reminded me of the assistant teacher in my high school shop class... he was missing parts of several fingers... we all used to wonder “um... should this guy really be an assistant shop teacher? I mean... he’s already down about half of a hand, can he really afford any more?”

Um... because it is? Here’s some stats on both for you.

I don’t know... maybe so they could sell some cars and recoup the money they invested in developing them, having the tooling made for them, refitting factories to produce them, marketing them, and shipping them around the country?

My dad’s an accountant... I confirm your statement as accurate.

Ford is not selling their cars in the U.S. anymore because stupid people who:

I have no problem with this. Kill all autonomous cars. If you can’t be bothered enough to drive, walk, or take a fucking taxi. Not sure why people think trusting computers with their lives is a good idea. One day, an autonomous car will have it equivalent of a “blue screen of death” moment while doing 70 mph down the…

I mostly agree with you... but... Lucasfilm did a pretty amazing job with Peter Cushing/”Grand Moff Tarkin” in “Rogue One”...

Apparently, smoking a little pot is worse than destroying government property?

Maybe I’m a weirdo, but, there’s a little black Buick Reatta not far from my house, and I think it’s a pretty good looking little car... dunno how it is to drive, or much of anything about it, really, but, it’s not a bad looking little car.

EDIT: For shits ‘n’ giggles, I googled for “custom Buick Reatta” and wasn’t…

Is it just me, or is that video awfully 80's for a video made in (presumably) the mid 90's?

Oh shut up, you pedantic twat. It’s a fucking cartoon... get the fuck off of your soap box.

If you actually believe Trump wasn’t mocking a disabled reporter... I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you in San Francisco... it’s pretty well known, so it’ll cost you a lot, but there’s nothing like owning a bridge that’s a historic landmark... please let me know if you’re interested, and we’ll make arrangements.
