That’s hardly specific to India though. California mandated tough new emission laws on tractor trailers (for example). The result? The old ones all got Mexican title paperwork and are still here rolling coal.

Not necessarily...

If you want a Dodge Challenger just buy one. I won’t be offended if you glue a Nissan logo on it.

Safety is overrated and even a rattle can camo print is 100% acceptable on an old CJ. You’ve gone full “concourse” with your new vinyl and 2 pack epoxy paint.

I believe you are correct, the GT had a 5 spoke pattern.

So your okay with governments subsidizing industry (aka why it costs a dime to ship things from China but $40 to ship it back) but not okay with import taxes on those subsidized goods, got it.

‘Mericans make cars for your home market too, they’re just called Vauxhall s and Opels and produced overseas. If this small tariff is such a big deal feel free to build a factory here. His Trumpiness isn’t going to stop you.

If I said clothing was optional would that help?

I’m sure it’s just your aversion to cupholders not wearing bras and poodle skirts. Cute CJ though

I’m fairly sure none of this affects NAFTA countries yet...

As opposed to other vehicles from that era? If your current ride lasts 30 years it will squeak, although my 50 year old one squeaks a bit less since it has less parts

Do used cars prior to the 1980s no longer exist in your state? As malaise as they were they topped out at well over 45 mph and could generally be mended with a hammer and a pair of pliers

I’m now starting to understand why India’s air quality is even more hilariously bad than China’s...not that I blame this anachronism in particular but yes that is a thing

There is nothing stopping GM and Ford from “in-shoring” car production but that’s a separate issue.

Please release this competitor to the 2002? 350Z ASAP. I’m sure it will sell like hotcakes

For what reason? It’s been converted from a horrible economy car to an amusing drag machine.

For it’s era it was a very good car, and probably the best $500 I ever spent on one. Which vehicle of the 1970s would you have had instead?

I drove one daily for about 8 years? I also drove one of those. They are in no way similar.

That’s pretty cool but it needs more vitamin 455.

So...it’s a more attractive Nissan Leaf but with no AC or warranty. On the plus side we could be close to seeing the world’s first electric Countach
