    My new favorite game is:

    When the news says “high prices”, replace it with “low wages”; “inflation” with “paycuts”.

    The whole economy starts to make a lot more sense.

      So many of these cars are designed overseas, too. Its almost as though countries that don’t have unlimited access to pillaged resources consider durability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance to be value-adds rather than profit-reducers.

      Also, it should be noted that Americans basically don’t make sedans anymore. Its all trucks and suvs.

    Requirements for a car. 1: All wheel drive 2: Small station wagon 3: Manual transmission 4: No touch screen 5: Does not connect to internet

    Yup, looks like 2014 is the newest car I can buy.

    Get your shit together car companies and maybe I’ll be interested in you products again.
