And in fact he was a lousy soldier, graduating at the bottom of his Annapolis class (which means flunking calculus and not turning in work, rather than being a rebel), getting wings he almost certainly didn’t qualify for, and dodging a well deserved grounding because he was Navy royalty. Most men don’t get a chance to…

RX-8 reliability shoots way up once you do the external propulsion mod.

It’s the decoy. It has kept Trump’s connection to Russia as a lesser news item.

I also wouldn’t put it past the admin and Russia to have orchestrated this whole tiny, weird, not-very-useful action to show that actually the Trump admin is not in cahoots with Russia, no matter how much shit comes out to the contrary.

I’ve only been once, but, Caffeine and Carburetors in CT had a pretty impressive and diverse collection of cars...spent so much time gawking that I forgot to take many pictures.... But, when you walk by a Ford GT because you’ve already seen 5 others...you know it’s a good day....

I always wondered what happened to this crew. And now I know the rest of the story:

Old GM (and perhaps new GM) knows their is a certain segment of America that will never buy a Nazi car, a Jap car and certainly no Chinese or Korean cars.

i read to the end. I think I deserve a star

Hard to top Chrysler. Runner up is Nissan due to:

As a 240z owner I would like to nominate Nissan. the current Z is stale, the GT-R is stale, their lineup is dull, the resale is horrible, the cars just look like they follow trends, never set them anymore. I don’t know man. Nissan is losing it.

I can’t think of one single brand I’m actually excited about. I’d like to say VW, but they’re weasels. I’d like to say Mini, but I’ve heard too many stories about their reliability to seriously consider one. Subaru? yawn. Fiat? nearly, so keep trying. BMW? Big fat cars that cost a lot. Nissan? I’m not even…

Next time, try your mom instead of your dad...

Basically this guy is trying to get out of the car what it cost new, adjusted for inflation. The problem is that this is like a 1986 Grand National, everyone wants an 87. The year of Impala SS people go after for collectability is 1996 because you got the floor shifter, the “better” gauge cluster, and last year…

A big problem is the idea that manufacturing jobs are “low skill”. Being machine operator or millwright is an incredibly high skill job, that is why they had high wages.

I agree completely, the trick is to get Democrats on board with this. One thing the Bernie movement (and this election in general) highlighted is that college graduates are very stuck up about college. College is great if you can make it through, but it’s not supposed to be easy, nor is it supposed to be for…

From the Atlantic:

The solution is to provide free or highly subsidized vocational training or higher education tuition to displaced workers so they can find better jobs. 

“Low margin, low skill manufacturing jobs aren’t coming back to the US, with or without NAFTA. They certainly aren’t coming back with wages and benefits that would interest a US worker. “
