    Probably huh? And this assumption is based off of what exactly? Maybe you’re basing that off of the Mercedes AMG-GT and their flat plane V8?

    The yellow was a Trans Am, if I recall correctly. I know it was a Pontiac.
  3. surreal1272
    The same year Monte Carlo SS comes close but still, no Buick.
  4. surreal1272
    Thats kind of my thing. Yes, I was bummed it wasn’t a legit GNX but both of those cars were restored to almost new and there is just something about those in black.
  5. surreal1272
    A shame about both the GNs. They were both sharp looking rides but the GNX badging where it doesn’t belong almost kills it.
  6. surreal1272
    McLarin 720. And yes, there were some really nice rides. The vintage aqua ‘71 C10 (talked to the owner for a few seconds) was probably my favorite. Just a super clean ride and one of favorite gen pick ups from back in the day.

    So I accidentally posted this to the June thread insets of this one and I too lazy to do it all over again here.

    A lot of car spotting today. There is a little local car show here every second Saturday a month (during the warm months). Some nice rides out there but I could only get a few pics because I was working at a shop on that very street today. Some more... I also just realized that I posted this on the June thread instead of the July thread. F***! Oh well.

    Let me just say that if they manage to give an EV Challenger 500 miles of range, I am selling some organs for it. I only need one kidney.

    Well, this is certainly interesting and an about face for some in the Dodge crowd. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/dodge-launch-worlds-first-electric-132500545.html

    It’s called “everyone has different tastes”.

    A little Soundgarden through a resurrected 5th gen. iPod video.

    I have three words for that. Non-sustainable Business Model i.e.—Making zero profit on your actual product for more than a decade is not a sustainable business model long term. Overinflated stocks do not a successful company make so can we just stop the wash, rinse, repeat nature of your defense of them that clearly ignores very important facts like that?

    More "quality" from Tesla, this time a few day old $130K Model S Plaid. https://www.yahoo.com/news/brand-tesla-model-plaid-spontaneously-224528567.html

    Then you are only reading what you choose to read, a very SMK like move. Exactly my point and I’ve owned four of them so I am not just talking out of my posterior regarding their reliability and long term use.
  16. surreal1272
    But Toyota is just ”average” in reliability lol. Listen. I get the hate for them. In the realm of design, latest tech (outside of their hybrid tech), and power trains, they are lacking beyond belief. They are, for the most past, boring as hell and inspire very to no enthusiasm among the “enthusiast” crowd. However, none of that changes the fact that, overall, they are built to last a long long time with minimal expense compared to the competition. Thanks for posting that @David. I did indulge. You’re just not paying to attention to the simple facts. You set the criteria for reliability by stating that too many trips to a dealership for recalls means it is not very reliable. I showed you where it happens more with most domestics than brands like Toyota. You sidestepped that by calling them “no better than average” when that’s clearly not the case. (Again, 9 recalls on ONE trim level GMC to 0 for the maligned Tundra, for example). However, I think David covered nicely on this page with the data above.
  17. surreal1272
    Except that is factually not true. Like them or not, they are above average reliability and have been consistently so for many years compared to companies like GM and Ford. They are not "no better than average" and it can be proven again and again. Sorry. Not praising Toyota here but facts are facts.
  18. surreal1272
    And Toyota had fewer recalls on their entire lineup for 2020 than Chevrolet and fewer totals recalls than GMC. The 2020 Sierra alone had nine recalls for ONE trim level model.
  19. surreal1272
    Again, recalls do not equal long term reliability. On that same site, for Chevrolet, it's 7 pages to Toyota's 4 for 2020 model year cars. Hell, there are 4 pages for GMC alone. Are GMCs overrated as well?
  20. surreal1272
    Holy hell! I forgot they were still sporting a four speed, four pot in those. Good lord! I'll take any year 5 speed operated 4 Runner over even the best and "newest" Journey!
  21. surreal1272
    (Still looking for the part where number of recalls=reliability and finds nothing)
  22. surreal1272
    I was a longtime Porsche fan, even after VW ownership (and that is exactly what it was, in the end) but they are just ridiculous high for all the wrong reasons, even with being great driving machines. I miss my dads "undercover VW" '74 914. That had the old VW flat four with fuel injection. My dad swapped out the fuel injectors for a couple of twin barrel Webers, that ran great for about a month before the backfiring problems started and ruined everything lol. Such a fun little car that I only got to ride in, as my dad was not about to let his 16 year old son drive his baby, especially after that same son got a speeding ticket in an '81 Chevette (yes, it is possible to get one in a Chevette).
  23. surreal1272
    Except you’re wrong.
  24. surreal1272
    That still isn’t “young” by any stretch of the imagination and this is from a 48 year old.
  25. surreal1272
    Because cherry picking is yet another skill in addition to bar moving lol.
