Can't afford the gas....then don't buy

Or a very boring car ​​​​​​​

 

Things I saw on the road today

All original MR2 looked bone stock including factory wheels with 195/55/R15 tires, an odd size



Death trap on wheels



Alfa Romeo Tonale never new this vehicle existed. Dashcam doesn't do the colour justice super nice electric blue

 

I like that. 🏆

 

Brake light is out.

 

I'd have to go back and look at the video but I think the turn/brake combo light has a switchback function.

 

I have only seen that function in the context of dimming a front DRL when the turn signal is on. If the rear brake light is out deliberately, I don’t know why.

 

The Alfa Tonale (jokingly referred to as the Toenail) is also sold as the Dodge Hornet. I don't think it's selling very well either.

 

That's the same basic car as a Dodge Hornet? For real?

 

Yes, it is. Don't forget......Stellantis (Chrysler) is now Italian-owned.

 

Stellantis is incorporated in the Netherlands and managed in the US.

 

Yep. Alfa was PISSED. But being one of the smaller brands in the Stellantis portfolio, they don't have much of a say.

 

Perhaps so, but it is still (primarily) owned by Fiat. That is why a number of Stellantis products use Fiat or Alfa platforms and components.

 

Not true, it's mostly owned by major financial institutions and a French family

 

OK, I'll partly-concede that. Today, it is probably more accurate to say that Fiat owns Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram, and the Stellantis group owns Fiat.

 

On the plane headed back from Disney.

@AJT123 They didnt have an Escalade, they put us in a Grand Wagoneer at first which was fine, but I refused it because the lumbar in the drivers sear was stuck all the way out and it was like sitting on a big inflated pillow. They gave me a brand new refresh Yukon Denali! Overall I liked it, it does need turbos. The 6.2 sounds great and has power but I'm so used to FI that it feels like it really has to be revved out to get the big vehicle moving. I like the new exterior but I do kind of agree with you on the interior. The big center screen is almost too big, so big that typing between Carplay buttons was annoying, and the map cursor is so low down on the map. Plus the gauge screen felt too small and too basic compared to tge gauge screen on your pre-refresh car.

The Hemi also has a better exhaust note at startup, but the 6.2 does sound great, You can hear it remote start all the way across the parking lot lol. Not an ultimate so no air suspension but it did have magnetic dampers that kept it pretty flat, felt great on the highway but way too big to drive around every day for us
