Well, you always pay for it. In a form or another.

No offence to Saabkyle, these are just the realities today.

Kyle Lindsey underwent two years of pre-pharmacy studies at Campbell University before being accepted to Wingate University School of Pharmacy in 2009. He and his wife Christal graduated with Doctorates in Pharmacy in May of 2013.

His father's Bill Lindsey:
William Donald Lindsey (born April 12, 1960 in Staten Island, New York) is a retired Major League Baseball catcher. He played during one season at the major league level for the Chicago White Sox. He was signed by the New York Yankees as an amateur free agent in 1981. Lindsey played his first professional season with their Rookie league Paintsville Yankees in 1981, and his last with the White Sox's

He now resides in Reidsville, North Carolina, where he owns a car dealership.

He grew up at the families dealership, but his father didn't want him to go into the family business.  Instead, he went into Pharmacy school and did car reviews as a hobby.  Many of the cars he reviewed were from his fathers dealership, but he goes to dealers all across the country.  His reviews are very cookie cutter, but he'll review anything.

You're wrong on 2 points.

Saab Kyle doesn't review cars. He gives in depth detailed looks into cars. He doesn't give his 2 cents about the cars he films. There are dozens of other real YouTube reviewers out there.


His "lack" of talent is debatable. He found a niche where he combined his love of cars and obvious connections to local car industry who give him freedom to review their cars. And he made something great out of it.
That can be considered talent.....turning an interest and a connection into a well paying gig.

Your point is accurate, but also note the money is coming from the dealerships, not baseball, as he only played in 9 ML games, and minor leaguers made squat in terms of pay and sign on bonuses during the time he played.

Can't speak for the ACR, but I've driven the base model, whatever it is called many years ago.  I rented it.  The damn clutch has a 1 foot long throw.  I burnt it out.  Cost me $2k just to have it repaired!  Lots of fun and tons of looks by the bitches (and cops).

American cars are brutal.
I remember the show years ago here in which they where testing Viper and the fucking doors (seals?) started to melt in middle of the lap due to the exhaust pipes' locations.

But to be fair, no one can compete with Italians when it comes to cars.
Not Germans, not the Japs, not Americans.

The usa  engines last forever under harsh circumstances and sometimes only need checkup every 120k miles!
But the rest about usa cars is low quality and low tech. Italian cars are even wors, also crap engines. You are trolling perhaps?

Depends on what u mean by compete?

Overall Italian cars are junk, people think Ferrari and Ferrari's aren't everyday cars and thier reliability is questionable at best

American cars aren't bad, their sports cars give a lot of performance per dollar and that's what they are

German and Japanese are well rounded overall

We are talking maybe different things.

I agree with you about durability of American engines. And if one wants clinical, all around quality car - they should go German or Skoda.

But! Italian cars don't have crappy engines. Just sophisticated pieces of art. That's why they require maintenance.
You can hear and feel the difference between American engine vs. Italian engine. I have driven both. The response to throttle, the sound... Italians have it.
Best car I have had was Alfa Romeo 156 GTA with 3.2 (Busso) V6. Amazing sound. Yes, it required constant maintenance and still had problems but was awesome to drive. I think as close to Ferrari as your average laborer can get (and I understand there is still way to go)  ;D

Yo mass243, Yes indeed I was talking about allround ( corporate / family) cars affortable for the masses like VW, Vauxel, Skoda, ( thanx for mentioning Bro  ;D ), toyota, mazda etc.

Your colourfull description of you Alfa takes me both ways; I would like to drive that car now and then to put the pedal to the metal like its a piece of carporn. But I would never buy it. Its like choosing between a hot slut and a reliable housewife   ;D

Tell me; why did you eventually sell it?

Well, Alfa was getting old, was from 2003.
Their current line doesn't have interesting options but the all new Giulia probably gets me back to Italy camp once they have been on market for few years and you can buy used one with reasonable price (I hope).

Lol funny coincidence  :)
That Giulia looks nice. Where I am from ( Holland) you hardly see new alpha's on the road anymore ( at least this is my observation).
That is because the market of new cars (midlevel range) is mostly corporate lease and Alpha does not have fuel efficient and hybrid models ( personal theory, could be BS), and that is important here because right now this results in significant tax benefits for the owner

Hi palumboism,thanks for the followup  :D
I was so pleased with myself that I thought about this joke (dodge + Al Bundy) you would not believe. Life is good sometimes lol.

What do you think; did a competitive carbrand payed to give dodge a bad rep in married with children?

Al Bundy didn't give Dodge a bad rap.  The drama that's the Chrysler Corporation has been going on for over thirty-five years.  This company has been bailed out twice by the tax payers.  

In 1979 Lee Iacocca accepted the job as CEO of Chrysler after being fired as president of Ford the year earlier.  He's said it was a god awful mess when he got there and if he'd known how bad a shape it was in, he never would've taken the job.  later that year he had to go to the federal government asking for a bailout.

Chrysler was bailed out again 2008 with a 7.5 Billion dollar loan from the government.  At this point it was merged with Fiat and Sergio Marchionne, AKA the spectacled sweater, becomes the new CEO.  Sergio has done nothing but run the Dodge and Chrysler brands into the ground.  Daimler did more for Chrysler than Fiats done.  At least Daimler gave Chrysler the 300C and the Dodge Charger which are both based a Mercedes E class from the NINETIES.  Fiat gave Chrysler the Dart and the 200 which are both being discontinued because even the rental car companies don't want them at steep discounts.

Probably the best track car for the price currently.

I'd buy an ACR in a heartbeat if i had that type of disposable income.  Just track it on the weeks and drive a beater the rest of the week.  They are phenomenal cars.

All of the above is true...I say this as an owner of an 04 air bagged reg cab Ram....FCA vehicles have been lacking in quality/fit/finish for a long time.

Still think their body styles and paint are tops though. They are not scared of nat aspirated big cube V8s either, which is a plus.

Sergio's plan right now is to let it all ride on Jeep and Ram because that's where there making money.  This could work provided oil prices stay down, but that's what they were counting on in 1979 too and then the Iranian oil crisis hit.  I don't think the American people would allow a third bailout of this company.  

I personally think this companies in real trouble right now.

Al Bundy didn't give Dodge a bad rap.  The drama that's the Chrysler Corporation has been going on for over thirty-five years.  This company has been bailed out twice by the tax payers.

The problem with dodge is their cars and trucks are shit. I bought a RAM new years ago, almost as big POS as the Benz I had.
True, they make high horsepower, but it doesn't matter when you stick that engine in a shit bucket.

Vince bought a jeep cherokee and a warshing machine and something else

I have bought a number of things but its nothing.  This week, I'm looking at some no restriction land in Piedmont that I'm likely going to buy and set up a home there.  In addition, for the first time in many years, I bought out an online fitness company. 


Its all work....no food stamps, no welfare, no complaining about being black or bullshit like that.  I work hard.  48-52 hours a week at my regular job just and another 20-30 hours a week running my home business ventures.

They are on the other thread I created.  I changed my mind on the Plasti-Dip....The forest green color has grown on me so I'm just going to have the hood painted.  I am installing bumper lights and a black grill and it should then be complete.  Adonis was right about the Jeep...its a fun vehicle to drive around.

The KLF thinks that you should hang a large Confederate flag from the rear of your vehicle.  If you have no flag available then you may substitute the cloth with one of your fellow Negro friends.

I promised myself a brand new Corvette at age 45 (I have 11 years to go as of tomorrow).  I know there are many nicer cars out there, many fancier, Italian, German. Etc.  But for the money, you really do get a lot, $55K and the base model does 0-60 in 3.8 seconds... that's honestly plenty fast for me.  Plus the new Sting Ray's look damn good.

Plus maintenance vs those Italian models...

I think about that often... but then some days I think...


Dodge Challenger Hellcat!!  700 HP! 😂 It's not pretty... but it just embodies everything about American excess!  And you guys know I fucking love America!

Solid info. I wonder why they keep putting effort and money into brands that have lost the favour of the public.

Why not discontinue the "damaged brands" and focus on the cash cows? Just like GM did, they are now only left with Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac.

P.S. In Europe you don't see a lot of American cars (to big, to much fuel consumption, build with hammers and ducktape)but the C300 I see now and then. A real gangster car  8)
