I wonder how this would work with Turo or Uber if one of the renters or passengers was arrested

And to think how well they sold back when they first came out. I heard a story about how Ford wanted some of that sweet sweet 300 money so they tried to “copy” it and restyled the Five Hundred to try and duplicate Diamlers success. Problem was, the 300 was a good, RWD based, luxury car with a V8, and looked way…

The car is perfect the the purpose it serves. Powerful enough, handsome enough, big enough and cheap enough.

You must have been riding in one seriously clapped out old one. Because I have them for rentals all the time in 300S form (and the occasional Limited, sad it’s going away), and I think they are pretty great. Nice enough, quick enough, quiet and comfortable, and they go down the road much like the old Mercedes they are…

Daimler and FCA’s handling of the 300 depresses me to no end. It was quite possibly the most interesting American car to come out of the “Merger of Equals” AKA the rape and pillage of Chrysler, and I dare say, the entirety of the 2000-2010 US Market. I know that it sits on an Archaic Mercedes platform, and that sedans…

Condensation breeds mould. Mould grows in the system and the spores spread through the vents when the air conditioning or defroster’s turned on. The resulting smell is terrible. My dad taught me that when I was little, after I asked him why he would roll the windows down and then turn the A/C on. After a little under…

I was once on an antibiotic that made certain foods taste horrific. One in particular was ranch dressing. No idea why, but every ranch dressing I tried suddenly tasted like feet dipped in vinegar. It lasted a few weeks and then when I was brave enough to try it again, it tasted fine.

I think that image is from Every Which Way But Loose.

If they can figure it out, maybe they can put the team on what makes BMW’s and VAG products from the late ‘90’s and early ‘00’s have that distinctive crayons-and-BO smell.

So, basically, they gots nothin’.

I live in a place where Wranglers are ubiquitous. Yesterday on a side street less than a quarter mile long I counted five. I have never seen a JK or JL with the windshield down. Even in Moab (although I’m sure there are some who do put it down). Today I saw two JK/JL 2 doors with the doors off and freedom panels off…

I feel like most of the advantages that Jeep cites only matter to the 5% or so of buyers who are going to take their Jeep for some serious off-roading. The other 95% of buyers just want the feel of an open-top off-roader while driving to the beach, bike trail, office job, etc. I believe the biggest advantage to get…

The Jeep is an enthusiast machine. They are ‘king of the hill’ because it’s a hill that no other manufacturer was prepared to make a stand on. The ‘heritage’ of Jeep is of questionable reliability, and... interesting... modifications. If you’re not up for that, then you’re simply not in the market for one.

that’s a form of marketing.  

I was expecting some concern from FCA, I wasn’t expecting full bore ass panic. And this is exactly whats going on.

Tells me either the FCA heads have bought the hype surrounding the Bronco, or it really is that damned good. Cause those are some weak ass legs to stand on.

This might be the first time we see a new…

There are several dealers around me which are dual Ford and CDJR dealers and they share the same showroom floor.  This ought to be fun.

I think the Bronco is better looking inside and out. Jeep will always be Jeep.
