I had a ‘97 ACR version. I bought it brand new and it had all the options you could get with the ACR (which included A/C, AM/FM/Cassette, and Flame Red paint). That thing rode like it was on rails, especially when the Koni’s were turned way up. I was young and stupid and I got away from many a Mustang by taking…

I stand by my statement and will not be moved. I am right.

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!

Agree, but the Neon’s base price was only $12,715, which is $19,028 in today’s dollars. That seems pretty close to what a base model compact’s sticker is today, though of course a 2021 vehicle is vastly superior.

Jalopnik ran that story a couple of weeks ago as well. Tourists are driving around Hawaii in cube vans because non-luxury sedans were renting for hundreds of dollars a day. It makes me feel bad for Hawaiians who need a U-Haul to actually haul something right now.

ahh AOTD, where i look for the QOTD to skip the slideshow.

Why write an article when you can let the viewers correct you...

I see Jalopnik has hired a former Trump press secretary to do their fact checking.

Seriously. I read this somewhere last week and people returning to ICE were apartment dwellers, which is the majority of Californians, which is sort-of mentioned here.

What I’m baffled by though is the people that ditch PHEV.  It’s a hybrid that can operate in EV only mode for a short range, so where’s the problem?  You still have a gas engine and can take it on road trips.

The 20% can EASILY be explained away as incentive followers.

My first thought was of the drivers we saw just this winter

The difference is that China also has the best passenger train system in the world. Although yes, I think considering that most big Chinese cities have been almost entirely built in the last few decades, they definitely could have designed them to be a lot less car-dependent.

He always told such dorky and endearing stories when he was the color guy on Indy broadcasts.
