Welcome to Michigan, land of the drivable wreck. That dent was rusted, this is old damage. I wonder how long this guy's been driving this Patriot around like that. How many tires has he worn to the cords? Not even mad, impressed. He was keeping up with traffic no problem.

This is the dumbest trend in the auto industry right now, same with rear turn signals. As the majority of drivers now own tall crossovers and SUVs, let's put the brake lights down low and out of the line of sight. SMH
I’ll never understand this brake light location logic. Kia/Hyundai does it the same way. And dont tell me it’s because the hatch opens and lights must remain on the car.

Over the past few weeks, Sebastien Ash, Florian Müller and I took a deep dive into the demise of German manufacturing. The situation appears so bleak that it really blows my mind.
