The Perfect Ride For Someone With ‘Non-Traditional’ Employment: COTD

There is something delightful about finding a weird car in a piece of media that isn’t specifically about cars. You just have to wonder if it was intentional or if there was a car person involved. So many questions, so few answers.

Jason presented such a scenario in his Cold Start about Cake’s ‘I Will Survive.’ There were a lot of neat vehicles in the video, including a ton of Cushmans. Jay Vette:

My weed dealer drives one of those three-wheeled trucks. I’ve been meaning to ask him why.

LTDScott:

Clearly he’s a Kushman.

I must give my sincere apologies to LTDScott, as I accidentally attributed his last COTD win to someone else. Congrats for a second day in a row LTDScott!

Speaking about my last COTD, Christocyclist gave me a great reminder about the difference between ‘fast’ and ‘quick’:

[A] little quibble… growing up reading car magazines, they always made a distinction between “fast” and “quick” in the stats summary table. Fast means top speed and is measured in speed, while quick is about e.g 0-60 and is measured in time.But I do like the additional measure of 0-60 in 100 feet!

I will now go and yell at some clouds…

Dodge killed the Hornet, which is sad, but I guess not entirely unexpected. Still, it’s hard to watch the fall of Chrysler’s old brands. V10omous:

The mismanagement and decline of the “traditional” Chrysler brands since 1998 has been extremely sad to see.

Angrycat Meowmeow:

Hey, we’re Dodge!

We got the…

– Car nobody wants
– Old SUV

Stop by your local Dodge dealer today!

Jack Trade:

[V10omous] timeframe is esp jarring, as I’m now recalling just how with it Chrysler was getting in the 90s. A solid line up across the divisions, some serious, game-changing innovation, and they even were making a semi open-wheeled car to sell to everyday buyers!

Have a great evening, everyone!
