The official "WTF" thread

My ex-wife drove a baby blue '80 B210 wagon from '80 to '89, it was a good little wagon much like the image below. The 1.4L 4 banger with CA emission couldn't pull a hair out of a gnat's ass but the liitle engine ran like a sewing machine. Honestly when at idle you had to put your hand on the air cleaner to know if it was running, it was so quiet.

Merging onto a 70 MPH interstate was a challenge....you had to excecute your attempt a couple of minutes ahead it was so gutless. It was a 5 speed and I imagine the automatic was even more sluggish..

Traded it for a new '89 Ford Aerostar van and gave it to ex-wife's nephew who drove it another 5 or 6 years and also had no issues with it. :cool:

May of been like what GM and others are going through with the new Turbo 6 engines. Back then it was bad news for Datsun, Nissan took over the plants/people if I remember right.
 
Dad also had one of the first toyota corolla's in Lubbock. He had this huge toy windup knob with a suction cup on it...he stuck it on the truck and drove around town like that with it. It was more of a toy and curiosity more then anything.

Something like this but it was beige. Was a good car but rode like 'shit'.

Over the years I heard it both ways. Sadly when a new car line, well new in the states, had many lemons it was their demise when Nissan took them over. Think my Dad's was a hatchback. I remember him saying it was a new engine that just came out. He said he broke his rule on never buying anything new when they first come out. I don't even remember what it looked like since we had it less than a week. But think it was Orange looking color.

I can't believe this POS woman actually said this... Maybe the biggest mistake was leaving his coke in the white house, maybe?

During the show, host Jennifer Welch attacked Garland and the Department of Justice under him for not charging President Donald Trump and for investigating Hunter Biden. She asked Hunter Biden for his opinion on what she described as "capitulation by Democrats" to Republicans for pushing Garland in the first place.

"One of the things that pisses me off is the Merrick Garland DOJ and the not prosecuting of Trump. And that they prosecuted you," Welch said in part when teeing up her question.
