Maybe you’ve seen the craigslist ads for “MANly” trucks and Jeeps. Don’t fall for them!!! Anyone can throw down some hard earned cash for a vehicle. It takes a real MAN to drive around with a minivan-load of kids. You know who you are… you are not only endowed with the body parts to create offspring, but you have the MANliness to be a great dad who spends time with his family.

This MANly machine has been thoroughly tested by a whole flock of rugrats, and survived mostly unscathed for 133,000 miles. It is dark blue – a MANly color. No baby blue for you, my MAN.

It has a 3.8 Liter V-6. Any engine with a “V” is MANly. It runs just fine.

Speaking letters, this is an “SXT” version of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan… honestly I have no idea what “SXT” stands for but it sure sounds MANly. And a “caravan” is manly too… reminds me of a few rugged, enterprising families travelling westward in conestoga wagons. Picture yourself heading west in this modern-day conestoga wagon!

All windows, locks, and the rear and sliding doors are all POWER. Power is MANly, and YOU are in control of it! There is a thermometer so you can educate the kids about how cold or hot it is; and a compass so you don’t have to ask anyone for directions.

The stereo has a CD player AND a cassette deck. Impress the kids with your MANly 80’s heavy metal cassettes!

It has top-secret cargo bins. Some people call that Stow-n-go. I call it top-secret cargo bins. You can stash all your cool stuff on trips so nobody sees it or messes with it. You could probably stash a kid in there but that didn’t come from me. It’s amazing how those MANly engineers created all that space.

Or you can stash all five back seats in those top-secret cargo bins and have a cavernous space to haul all kinds of MANly things, like bunk beds for the kids, or a foosball or air hockey table. Foosball and air hockey are MANly.

You can also tow a pop-up camper with this machine; it’s equipped with a hitch, brake controller, and 7-pin and 4-pin wire connector. Because camping is MANly. You can have campfires when you go camping.

We’re only selling this MANly machine because my MANliness has outgrown it, requiring the ultimate… a FULL SIZE “SUPER DUTY” van! Maybe this Dodge will be the stepping stone you need to reach full-blown ultimate MANliness too.

I’ll take the MANLY price of $4321 - or negotiate with me, like a MAN.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.

China's Geely says it has no plan to buy Fiat Chrysler — as FCA stock leaps

Wed, Aug 16 2017

HONG KONG — Chinese carmaker Geely Automobile denied media speculation on Wednesday that it planned to make a takeover bid for Fiat Chryslerk Automobiles (FCA), the world's seventh-largest automaker. Geely was one of several Chinese carmakers cited in by Automotive News, which said representatives of "a well-known Chinese automaker" had made an offer this month for FCA, which has a market value of almost $20 billion. "We don't have such a plan at the moment," Geely executive director Gui Shengyue told reporters at an earnings briefing, when asked if Geely was interested in Fiat. He said a foreign acquisition would be complicated, but he did not elaborate. "But for other (Chinese) brands, it could be a fast track for their development," Gui added. However, a source close to the matter said FCA and Geely Automobile's parent firm, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, had held initial talks late last year, without disclosing their nature. The source confirmed Geely was no longer interested in FCA, noting that the parent company had only three months ago announced its first push into Southeast Asia with the purchase of 49.9 percent of struggling Malaysian carmaker Proton, a deal that also included a stake in Lotus. Geel's denial failed to dent FCA's stock. The price of its Milan-based shares has jumped more than 10 percent to a 19-year high since Automotive News first reported on Monday, citing unnamed sources, that FCA had rejected the Chinese offer as too low. FCA stock on the New York Stock Exchange rose sharply on Monday from $11.60 to $12.38 and on Wednesday was trading at $12.84. FCA declined to comment on Wednesday. FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne has repeatedly called for mergers as a way of sharing the costs of making cleaner, more advanced cars, but he has repeatedly failed to find a partner and retreated from his search for in April, saying FCA would stick to its business plan. He has also spoken of spinning the successful Jeep and Ram divisions off from FCA. Europe's largest carmaker, Volkswagen, and General Motors have both said they are not interested in talks with FCA. On Wednesday, Geely Automobile reported a doubling of first-half profit, above expectations, as cars designed with Sweden's Volvo won over domestic consumers. Volvo is a unit of the Zhejiang Geely group, and has recently announced it will share its technology with Geely.

Chrysler Recalling 870,000 SUVs For Brake Defect

Wed, Apr 2 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 870,000 SUVs because corrosion may make the vehicles' brakes harder to use. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from the 2011 through 2014 model years are involved. Chrysler says crimp joints in the brake boosters can corrode if they're exposed to water. If the water freezes, the boosters won't aid braking as they usually do. Chrysler began investigating after some customers said their brakes felt too firm when pressed down. The company knows of one accident, but no injuries, due to the defect. Dealers will install a shield to protect the boosters for free and replace boosters that aren't working properly. Chrysler has since changed the design to make the boosters more corrosion resistant. Chrysler will notify owners of the recall, which involves 867,795 vehicles.
