A Horse With No Name

While I absolutely love the Maverick, this is one reason why I am leaning Subaru for the next vehicle purchase. I just don't think domestics have the quality control or engineering the Asians have. A political video, but pay attention to the Boeing Part. The easiest way for countries to strike back at the US is to buy Airbus rather than Boeing. The only thing keeping Boeing in the game right now seems to be the huge backlog that Airbus has for planes. Wonder how in the automotive sense a decline in US manufacturing, which seems inevitable, will affect the auto industry. Can't be good. On a brighter note...

There is no way in hell I could trust this as a daily driver, and would not drop coin on it given past reliability issues. Hell, even for a rental, I think I would turn the keys back over to the rental agent and ask for something else. Honda, Toyota, Subaru please? Think the Passport is much better looking. For that amount of $, I would also prefer a Toyota 4 Runner, infinitely better resale and reliability, and would fit my needs as a camping/hiking vehicle much better.

The worlds last surviving clean Lumina. Too bad 90 percent of our former members are gone, as this would create lots of conversation. He claims they sold two million of these, that's 1.995 million that have been crushed and sent to the junkyard in the sky. Last one for a bit, interesting converted Ford van.

Political but car related, I think he represents a lot of folks.

American car rental companies have zero ethics and deserve to lose market share...

This guy seems rational, car market can't be doing well. HE starts by talking about people taking on $1000 plus a month payments... We are in a cycle here we half ass everything here, sadly. Interesting on the tech front...

I like it but would prefer a Subaru. Or, I might just go the boring route and buy a Corolla Hybrid. At this point, I need something that gets to the trailhead to hike easily. The economy is not good, regardless of what the corrupt legacy media in the United States might want to portray. Wonder how this will affect the auto market? Another video worth considering. Prices at auctions are soft according to tons of people...

I really have a sot spot for hot hatches. In another life, I would have bought a Focus RS. This is sad. Maverick is on my short list, want to see how this is resolved.

I love NDT

Yeah, I think the whole point is to have something unique hence the EV conversion. Saving money and 50 year old car never go together. Yes, we view cats as cute and cuddly when they are in fact deadly killers of small animals. Cats and dogs view us as parents, even though we are radically different species. Perception is often quite different from reality. With animals and people. A good factual take on this accident... Europe ain't gonna catch up with the US or Asia in terms of build quality. That being said, my son has a Triumph motorcycle, his girlfriend has a BMW, my daughter has an Audi, my son in law has a BMW, and they are all fairly reliable. If I didn't hike, haul lumber, and have a general use for a truck I would still happily own a VW GTI.

Interesting use for a clapped out Lincoln.

Given the number of gay men that used to post here we need a closeted lesbian, and no one other than a closeted lesbian would own 16 cats. So there is that... yes Yep, the change is happening. Given tariffs I think what we are going to see here is GM re introducing the 1983 Chevy S-10 at 90 grand a copy. Totaled by a small sedan, the Tesla Cyber truck is a joke.

Actually a decent road trip video with a good narrative.

Interesting.

I think this reflects a soft economy and also folks falling out of love with cars.

I think this next spring I am going to go to the badlands in South Dakota.

I am not a fan of Nissan, this does not break my heart. The real story... I love this....!

Yeah, I don't find much at all that excites me in the least.

The GM cars I am interested in largely have original buyers in the Grave. The new midsize Canyon/Colorado are cool, and I like the Cadillac design language, but Zero new GM products I actually would drop ink on. Maverick, Ranger and Bronco (full size) the only domestic products I would be interested in. Crosstrek, and Forrester probably the only two Japanese vehicles. Nothing else. Current market bores me to tears. Can't happen to nicer people. Move to a city where you don't need to own one and rent when you need to. Nicely done race car, I like the fabrication work and overall vibe of this.

Would not touch a modern Nissan, but would definitely torch a modern Nissan.

Its scary how bad the ICE quality control is with Kia. New Santa Fe is not bad looking but I would rather shoot myself in the nut sack with a rusty bullet than buy one for sixty months on a note. Most of us here lack much of a grasp on reality, its what makes this place fun. Were we all to have a grasp on reality, we would be the beige Camry owners club. Its passed the F150 as the best selling car for a reason. Everyone I know that owns one loves them. Most of the Kia and Hyundai owners I know finished cashing the check from pick and pull after the transmission went out after the warranty ended. And if anyone thinks I consider myself more sane than anyone else here, Soy lunático tambien!

Those that know me know I haven't wanted to live in the USA for a long, long time, way before trump. Would like to avoid buying another car, and just move out of the US when I turn 65-67 and retire. I turn 60 in September, don't know if going 6 more years without buying another car is legit. I could really see buying something like a police package crown vic just to patch me through until I sell my house and leave the country. I do like the Kia EV's, especially the smaller ones. Watching the EV nine in our fleet and appreciate David's updates. At this point s3!thouse rat levels of insane describes both parties. Spending the 4th hiking in the woods. Loving my Ranger, hitting 115,000 this weekend on it. Its gotten me to a ton of out of the way hiking places, and hauled a ton of lumber. Actually several tons of lumber. That was a good looking out debating me and suggesting that truck for me. The Maverick looks to be a badass choice if I actually buy a new car. Especially now with 4WD and Hybrid being combined. That with an XLT package would make a sweet little truck. We have talked smack here since the beginning, you all are like brothers to me, brothers fight each other. Thankfully in real life, I only have 3 sisters, no brothers. OCNBLU has a favorite truck 54 Chevy. Hard to talk about warranty and 'Blu when the warranty on his ride of choice went away when IKE was in the White House.

Back reading this, the RAV 4 would be worth my time to consider for 2026.

I am surprised they are doing that well. Interesting.
