Oh I know who buys the car, I just don’t know what sort of internal misguided emotions compels them to do it.

The funny thing is it looks two giant hands took the Regal wagon and compressed it lengthwise by 50%.

That paintjob looks nice nowhere outside of Spring Break, Daytona beach, 1989.

Football hooligans, thats who.

THAAD is but one layer in a multi-layered defense system, to suggest it is the only thing standing between a storm of 1000 missiles raining down from North Korea is an exaggeration.

This has to at least be in part be due to the fact that the purchase prices for large trucks and SUVs are so insanely high. A $3000 repair on a 15 year old Suburban is pretty easy to swallow when the cost of a new Suburban is pushing $60k. It is almost like owning a ship or an airplane vs a car.

I really do appreciate the fact that Chrysler is willing build absolutely insane street cars but lets be honest, aside from the handful of cars that are sent to Motor Trend the rest will be snapped up by middle aged Hawaiian shirt guys and kept in climate controlled garages, never driven, until the day they die. Then…

Seriously, why does everyone hate tire sidewall these days? What did it ever do to anyone besides provide a nice, smooth ride on the road and insane traction off-road?

The bike has to be light so that the Mr. Burns types who buy them can lift it out of the trunk when their manservants are tied up with other chores.

How about a base model Avalon? It is an unbelievably nice car for the money and can be had with a significant discount due to the fact that it is not a crossover.

Truth! I used to run 33 x 10.50s on my Bronco and they were the best:

The best thing we can do is to develop and improve our missile defense capability. Dedicate a large percentage of our defense budget and put our best scientists to work on it. I’m guessing that if the US could build effective missile defense before NK could build enough effective ICBMs and an arms race might be…

These days when flying people think you are hoity-toity simply for having a shirt with a collar or wearing shoes. Sweatpants, flip flops, a mustard stained over-sized t-shirt and an old, overstuffed shopping bag crammed into the overhead bin are fairly standard for men and women.

The junkyards in Phoenix usually have an informal bouncer on hand for just such occasions. It is usually a 300lb dude with more tats than teeth who is happy to help lift a transmission onto a cart or crack a few skulls when necessary.

Nevermind the car, where can I get a pair of those natty pirate pants?

Maybe this is a bit pollyanna but why wouldn’t we sink a huge percentage of our defense budget into missile defense? I mean it already kinda sorta works some of the time so why not perfect it? Build it and make it open source to reduce the likelihood of a Russian or Chinese first strike. I’d much rather have a…

Good call, I filled in a badly pitted coolant passage gasket surface on a Ford 302 timing cover with JB weld and it held up great, just make sure to sand it flush.

It looks to me like a case of DWOAF, short for Driving While Old As F*ck.

Fair point, but Jeep’s other products are really only about as capable as the average Subaru, and the gap in capabilty between a Compass and say a CRV is much smaller than the gap in capabilty between a Compass and a Wrangler. Ultimately the perceived capabilty and image that comes with owning something like a Compass…

I think you are being a little hard on Chrysler, the 200 is going away and the 300 and Pacifica are pretty damn decent vehicles that solidly represent the near-luxury category. Still, does it make sense to have a brand with only 2 vehicles? I’m not sure that it does.
