My first car was a used 1972 Datsun 240Z. It was the coolest car in the world. I guess I never realized the problems of the car back then because that was all normal and didn’t know better. Drove it cross-country a few times and wish of had a drone back then to get a picture of me driving it through the twisties at

I have the GT convertible and it holds 4 large adults comfortably and is difficult to get going without burning rubber shifting through the gears.

There are a lot of people complaining about the tariffs, but isn’t the reason for them, is the completely unbalanced trade agreements our government has agreed to? Come on, all of the other countries have tariffs against US made goods that are greater than the tariffs we impose on them (until now).

After 19 years of ownership and so many miles of smiles, I gave my nephew my prized toy. It was the first time anyone had given him anything of value like that. He now drives it every week with his daughter who loves it.

My dad worked at a gas station as a mechanic way back then and he would complain about American Motors junk.  He was always complaining about engineers not having to work on the stuff they design.

a PT Cruiser convertible is that car I can’t stop loving. Turbo power and yes it is comfortable and easy to get in and out of. No it does not get good gas mileage, no car does when your always spooling up.

Many countries have been dumping steel under market value, while this may be nice for corporations using it, it is bad for those who produce it.

This one will stop a .50 caliber. Just the thing you will need against snipers. only $499,000

looks like the old Supra which will just make another boring car that has been hyped way out of proportion. Chrysler may as well make a new PT Cruiser with a hemi, now that would be more exciting.

My pet peeves

My first car was a 72 240Z. In the Navy and drove it cross country a couple times. If I got tired I would just pull off the highway and sleep, get up and go. NoDoz was my friend.

It should be called the “Predator” grill, because it looks like the mouth on the movie predator.

Which would you prefer, the Bentley or the Maybach from a drivers perspective?

Fiero

Which seats are more comfortable, the Bentley, the 2016 Volvo S60 or the new Volvo XC90?

I worked at a union shop and the people who had been with the company for 15 years were the union reps and negotiated the contract so they would get an extra week vacation, larger pay increase, and a few extra bennies for those with 15 years, mind you, they didn’t do a thing for any of the lesss senior people. they

You don’t want to be the person following behind driving a convertible.

China has been dumping it’s cheap metals on the US market for years. It is actually cheaper to buy Chinese steel here than in China. This is good for American metal manufacturers and American workers. Level the playing field.

Range Rover makes one and you guys gush all over it. The Murano failed because it was/is a butt ugly vehicle to begin with, then having no back seat room and no cargo space was stupid for a vehicle so big.

My cars are used to transport my dogs (yep plural) and they get the seats very dirty, the glass very snotty and the carpets very hairy. Contemplating between new Dawn or S-class Maybach convertible, so the dogs can ride in great style. Oh, the dogs are not small.
