Also part of the reason I hate this mass immigration of commies fleeing their own failed tax/housing policies in CA and illegals from the border to my state. We don’t need the extra pollution

The automotive industry is managing to gradually turn even me against them with their peddling of crap like 5,000 pound Jeeps and Broncos and complete refusal to even try to be sensible. I grew up making fun of those ridiculous 70's land barges, and here we are back to making stuff that's just as heavy and absurd, and that we'll also be making fun of in the not-too-distant future. I think the government's present 10-year policy is going too far the other way--an over-reaction--but something's gotta give because the industry is becoming absurd and seems incapable of self control.

I realized the other day, almost with horror, while looking through a junkyard, that I'd rather drive an '81 Reliant than a '2021 Bronco. More to the point, I'd rather drive that design philosophy with 40 years of refinement rather than what amounts to a modern equivalent of a '77 LTD.
