The last American cars I bought was an old K car (Dodge Aries) (circa '83) and two Jeeps about the time it became Daimler/Chrysler.
Bought a few Toyotas since and 2 Mercedes - just traded my Rav4 for a new Mercedes GLC 300 because ever since I traded the first Mercedes for the Rav, I've been missing the feel....wife loves her Toyota Highlander and I love my Merc.
K CAR!!!!
I bought one for TWO HUNDRED bucks 23 years ago and it lasted the ENTIRE summer back and forth to the Jersey shore from staten island. Figure 45 miles each way each weekend.
I’d get off from driving the cab at 5am and go sleep on the boardwalk for a few hours before heading to the house :)
Saying i had baloney skin tires is an insult to baloney skin tires lol
Last two weeks after the summer ended and i pulled over and took off the plates, scratched off inspection and that was that. Had friend pick me up.
Easier times to get rid of a car. Dont think one can do that anymore.
