hands down, my parents’ 1970 Plymouth Grand Fury station wagon. the first new car my parents ever bought.

by 60,000 miles (when we got rid of it) it had been through 5 transmissions, the vinyl seats were completely trashed (torn, vinyl separated from cloth backing etc), bad rust, tailgate window would not roll down so

tell us how you really feel about the Pilot and Highlander’s looks... while the Telluride is very nice looking, I don’t think the current Pilot is particularly ugly

how is the Telluride in comparison to an equivalently priced Pilot on things that matter? i.e. space, convenience features, comfort, gas mileage, engine

Has FCA/Stellantis fixed the hole that allowed you to remotely hack the transmission and drive by wire throttle in the Cherokee (and I assume every other Chrysler product?) through the cell phone radio built into the infotainment system?

I think we are actually well beyond that at the moment. the top 50 richest people in the US have more money than the bottom 50%

Historically, Skodas were just the previous gen VW product with a new grill and badging, has that changed?

by now the patents must have worn off on Torsen(r)...

why aren’t there Torsen (r) knockoff diffs on every parts shelf and in every jeep/bronco/whatever that is still using a clutch pack LSD or e-locker?

your head

does the head gasket already leak? the existence of this car is both a terribly sad statement about the shittiness of plymouth and also entirely appropriate that it would be one of these horrible shitboxes.

true story: owned a neon (was my brother in law’s, he died, sister left it in the garage for 2 years, then gave

was the aerostar actually a unique chassis or just a minivan body on a 2 door ranger frame?

mechanically, these GM A platform cars were pretty bulletproof, and really the first gen of sorted out FWD american cars (i.e. they didn’t suck balls and break every 10 minutes)

they ranged from decent handling and sporty-ish (pontiac 6000 STE, Chevy Eurosport) to luxury-ish (Buick Century, Olds Cutlass Ciera), to

Marc DID NOT CRASH DURING THE RACE.  he finished 9th.

he crashed hard in practice, and low sided gently during the warmup.

his brother crashed in the race.

to be fair, he did come off a bit.... odd.

They are quite possibly the only good thing about texas, I’ll give you that.

Hass said at the end of last year already that this year was all about giving the drivers experience. they are not spending a penny developing the current car, have basically said “we’re not even gonna try for 9th this year so we can afford to develop next year’s car”

Wow, Kind of amazed at the fair minded tone of this article.

Well Done.

I can wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment.

I mean, I don’t think you can blame your friend’s poor life choices on the glass hatch.

had his friend done the same thing with the hatch on a fox body, he probably would have amputated his hand, resulting in similar drunken hospital shenanigans.

I remember the original story and yes you should have patented it, then licensed it freely to the world.

lesson for the future - patent even the dumb ideas.

you would also have to add a lift kit and change the shocks, springs and sway bars at a minimum, might even have to change the spindles. it has something like a 4" drop over the regular G.


NASCAR has become progressively less interesting to me since the start of the “Chase” era (just as I progressively have lost interest in the regular season of all sports with the ever increasing number of playoff teams. I mean in basketball better than half the league gets in the playoffs every year. why?)
