I'm no fan of tariffs but I can understand their use in certain situations. Most countries have extreme protectionist tariffs and policies. We are about the only country that has what can be called open markets. It would be nice to stop the flow of fentanyl and get some of these countries to...

The US market is the most sought after marketplace in the world for selling almost any products. There is almost nothing that we won't buy no matter who's selling it or where it is made. We buy millions of cars and trucks every year from many sources. There is a vast aftermarket of goods and...

Why is Stellantis not partnering with Hennessey in some way? This guy has a small shop in Sealy Texas that makes world class vehicles. Do you want a Corvette killer? Take a look at what Hennessey makes. He does a lot more than soup up modern performance cars from other manufacturers. Do you...

I think a lot of these CEO's salaries should be based on performance and market share. Give them a modest base salary with incentives that slightly increases each year. And when possible, hire a guy that has been with the company for some time who isn't from accounting or cost control. The...

Hey Mike, It's my understanding that Stewart Haas racing is shutting down and won't be competing in NASCAR anymore. They just haven't been competitive the last few years. TSR runs Top Fuel in the NHRA and I think a few occasional Sprint car races. Stewart owns Eldora Raceway and always seems to...

I'd be interested to see the management organizational charts for each brand. That's probably quite a few CEO's and VP's for each brand. And then even more people under them. It's very wasteful and a lot of bureaucracy. They should streamline or sell off some brands. Also, there needs to be more...

I have barely watched any NASCAR race at all since 2012 myself. But I'm happy to hear that Ram is returning and that Dodge may soon follow. For Dodge it will be a good way to market the new Charger, so the sooner, the better. And I don't like that the truck series all use the same generic motor...

If the Fiat Spyder was marketed as a Dodge instead of a Fiat, it would have sold better. It shares the underpinnings with the Mazda Miata.

I owned a Fiat Spyder for a few years and loved it. It was very fun to drive. It looked great and was fun to shift gears and feel the road again. It was a real sports car in the true sense.

Is there anyone or anything that you won't argue with? Get a life man. We are supposed to be having fun and being enthusiastic about our favorite automaker. You are still putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. Please argue or find fault with someone else. I can see that hasn't been a...

Please stop putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. I did not blame poor RAM 2024 sales on a lack of a V8. RAM needed a refresh and got one for 2025. Lack of a V8 for 2025 could hurt RAM sales but we won't know for a few more months. I'm hoping for better sales and success with the I6 but I...

Dodge stayed afloat and relevant the last 15 years or so because they made some head turning, amazing V8 powered cars. Even with cars that were rather long in the tooth. The Dodge buying public is confused and disappointed in what the company has to offer right now. I'm sure sales are abysmal...

Moving engine production from Mexico to the US won't be an inexpensive feat to accomplish. The 5.7 is a great motor but it could use some updating. Let's hope that some of the gen 4 features are incorporated into this. I'm sure they would need to sell a good number of these to recoup the cost of...

Welcome to Texas Mike.
