there are shit tons of them around, and they don’t have a huge “vintage authentic” collector culture. they get driven for fun, not put up in shrink wrap until the next auction.

I’m sorry, you have completely lost me. what is your point?

do chrysler products suck in build quality and reliability? yes, yes they do.

first of all, I make a point of avoiding mustangs for the very reasons you suggest.

and yes. chryslers have a lot more problems than other domestic brands (just look at their quality ratings from CR or similar sources)

yeah, no. they all knew exactly what it stood for. they all watched the original hoodies waving the flag in Selma and everywhere else all through the ‘60s

how about.... paying farmers fair value for their crops so the farmers can pay a fair wage to their employees?

honestly, the _only_ reason to watch NASCAR these days is the wrecks. the stupid “competition cautions”, “lucky dog”, Stages and the Chase/playoffs bullshit it has become a game show where the only thing that is really interesting is “the Big One” and someone driving their nemesis into the wall.

and even that is only…

for sure, you could probably sell almost all of the controls to some flight sim geek to build his dream simulator, all the steam gauges, switches etc are things avgeeks would love.

um, where does VAG relate to my factual statement about Chrysler?

the fact that VAG is also crappy does not detract from the extreme shittiness of Chrysler products.

name a car that hasn’t had a recall.  I’m not a toyota fan, but in general their cars are leagues better in terms of build quality and reliability than anything coming out of Stellantis (or almost any other car company really)

“the flag was not a racist symbol at the time” to oblivious white people. it had been in use by the KKK throughout the civil rights era.

the show, in general, was no more racist than anything else on network TV at the time (that is to say, any black characters were tokens whose only purpose was to show the protagonists…

Microsoft did exactly what I describe above (through the double Irish) for years and never paid a big penalty (or else there would have been a huge story about it)...

listened to a story on The Moth yesterday about that.

guy was reminiscing about his gramma who was the best gramma ever and when he would spend the weekend with her, they’d watch the Dukes and he’d play with a little toy car. he’d go home and inevitably lose the car after playing with it. next weekend he’d go to…

almost certainly a tax dodge.

the BVI company will have a Caymans subsidiary that “owns” all the process IP, which it will “license” to the BVI company, which will in turn “license” it to the Minnesota subsidiary, the cost of the license will conveniently align with expected profit margin on both the extraction…

did you leave off the /s?

mix it with Alcohol like a good NoDak.

The C4 does not get the love it deserves.

it was the first Corvette that could truly compete with high end european sports cars in terms of absolute performance. was it comfortable? no. was it well built? no. did it rattle like a box of legos over every road imperfection? yes.

but boy howdy would it go around a corner…

yes, yes they are.

never own a chrysler product.

is that a superstition or just good judgement?

correct answer is to have a winter survival kit in your trunk. a gallon of water, a few bags of nuts, a couple blankets or sleeping bags, a flashlight, first aid kit and a few pairs of dry socks.

the key thing is to keep your feet warm and dry. every winter when I lived in North Dakota, someone would lose several toes…

snow builds up around the car, traps engine exhaust, you die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

if you ever lived in the northern midwest you would know this.
