I read somewhere that in Canada, over 60% of car loans are over 72 months. they are advertising cars with weekly, rather than monthly payments. I draw the line at 48 months and payments not-to-exceed $350. You can't buy a lot for that, unless you have a decent down payment and/or trade. I would prefer not to make…

I do like the Durango-based pickup someone conceptualized a while back.

I think this could be a good idea. If they can succeed with the Renegade (a name I'd have saved for a brutish Wrangler), why not a mini-Ram?

Still driving VW's, or did you move up in the world?

Raphael, I've been surfing this site for around 10 years. I think I caught it, right at its inception, without realizing it. The old days had few commenters, and many of the best were known by name (ASH 78) for being especially funny. The old days were probably a bit less reverent than now, but to my knowledge, no…

I've had my Ram 1500 for 10 years with nary a problem. I replaced a leaky hose for the AC system (in my driveway) for $21, and early-on, I had to replace the AC fan in the engine compartment. Other than maintenance items, I have had ZERO trouble with this truck. I am on the verge of replacing it with a Wrangler,…

The most over-exposed, talentless "star" of the decade. Even Paris Hilton got smart and disappeared.

On a trip to Cochrane, ON for a fly-in fishing trip, we chose to limit the number of stops by employing what my friend called a "snuggle jug". It was nothing more than an empty bottle of Snuggle fabric softener, although any brand will work. This worked pretty-well, because all you had to do was pee into the jug,…

Lane splitting is moronic. I'm sorry, I want to get there faster than anyone, too. Just because the guy is smaller and can cram his way between cars, doesn't justify him zipping through lanes. How many distracted drivers are already getting in wrecks because they are on their device, texting, calling, playing…

Y'know, I do watch Motorweek, but John Davis gets a bit tiring to listen to for 25 minutes. I used to like Jennifer Khasnabis, just 'cuz she was cute. I don't really surf Youtube for auto vids, I wait for them to be posted to one of my 14 sites.

I don't see any pictures of him and Sergio having a hug goodbye...

I'm telling you; Jeep needs to resuscitate Eagle as sub-brand and drop a Dart body on an AWD driveline. Remember the Concord? What a great idea that was. Certainly a precursor to Subaru.

I'm not sure that, in the grand scheme of things, the loss of Lotus in the States means anything. The last Lotus that made any impression on me was the one used in For Your Eyes Only. Can you see it being replaced with an Alfa 4c? Then after it blows up, Bond gets a Ferrari California?

OOOOHHHH! Pretty!

I never got it when they chose to eliminate Pontiac. Olds, yes. Pontiac had all of those Australian models (that were actually better looking). The El Camino GM was going to build (remember the naming contest?) was one of the best ideas.

I would say AMC/Eagle. AMC did have some bright spots. My friend drove an Ambassador or Matador with rain-sensing wipers. I thought that was neat for the late 70's.

I think they need to add a Panda L, and maybe add a couple of feet behind the rear wheels. I like this one too.

Yep...not that I can afford any of them.

I wonder where the $35 mil goes? It amounts to less than 5% of the $819 million budgeted. Is that rolled into the next year's budget, or do they throw a big party with it?

Hi, Honey! I finally decided to connect through Facebook. I've been here, just haven't commented in...probably a couple of years, anyway. Hard to believe I've been on nearly since its inception. I remember discovering Jalopnik in the early 2000's!
