1st Gear: I see this as both good and bad. Good in the sense that a clear message was sent to Ford management that many people want electric vehicles and electric trucks. But the bad side is that Ford can’t produce them fast enough... likely because they can’t get enough battery cells.

1st gear: Lightning will strike(!) my driveway in July, according to Ford. I am very excited. Made a change from no-option XLT to XLT with the option package. It’s like $9,500 but in order to get any of the options I wanted, I had to check the expensive box. Would rather spend the money and live with the expense of

“Nissan: What A Hyundai Dealer Was Like In 1991!”

I don’t find it to be the brightness itself so much as the aim of a lot of them, and this isn’t counting the ass dragging Carolina Squat trucks or the idiots using off-road light bars while on the road.

This is what I like to call: “Your first car if you’re 16 and your parents aren’t rich.” It’ll get you around, and you can use the rear doors as a strike zone for your wiffle ball games. (And you won’t feel bad about it.) I inherited my dad’s 1993 Camry when I was in high school, and it was... exactly what I needed.

Saturn? Yes.

My nephew daily drove one of these for a winter car. He had to replaced a lot of the suspension components due to rust issues to get it safe. Not a knock on the car, it lived a hard life in the Iron Range of Minnesota where salt is used on copious amounts. 

For 124hp, the LL0 is a shockingly peppy and fun little mill. Had a 95 SC2 with this motor and it was no speed demon but it wound up nicely and was way more fun to drive than it deserved to be.

I had a white SW2 5 speed of the same age, the car was totaled by a Rav4 that didn’t see it in the snow. Hit the driver’s side rear door, rear quarter and hatch.  At the time I was hauling two grand daughters in the back seat, one in a booster seat. They both walked to the ambulance and got a clean bill of health at

S cars are a beautiful example of why GM sucks- these are incredible cars, hobbled by managerial abuse. The twin cam LL0s will last forever as long as you keep oil in them. These third gen motors are less prone to the consumption issues that plagued first and second, but will still use oil excessively, just check it

Got me all nostaligic for my first car, a 2001 SW2 in forest green. With this being the “wrong color” and that high mileage, I’m on the fence, but falling on the side of NP in today’s market for a reliable, nigh-unkillable wagon. (Then throw in my Saturn fanboyism and it’s an *easy* NP.)

My car has 100,000 less miles and looks a little worse somehow.

Jesus, a 2000 Saturn isn’t “safe” enough? Sorry kids, mom and dad said you have to walk to gram-pappy’s house.

No brainer - in this market especially. NP.

At this point in time, I’m just happy to find one-who cares about the miles...NP all day.

We’ve still got Mercedes on the weird front at least, but yeah...

And toss the modifiers that do this on a road bike with a racing seat, no pads, and force them to ride from one end of Houston to another. If they dont finish it in under 3 hours they have to do it again the next day. starting in rush hour traffic.  No guards.  Just a house arrest anklet to track them. 

Go on a 100 mile ride without padded shorts would be my vote.

Nope, they need to crush that dude’s skull on a slow press.

Take a picture of it and sell it for 1 million to some sucker as an NFT.
