Description
A few weeks ago we each picked a $35,000 collector car for our virtual garages. Today we sell that car and spend $50,000 on a dream collector car to replace it. The only caveat, it must seat four.
Adams spots a 1999 Plymouth Prowler, Daimler Chrysler's attempt to resurrect the hot rod. The guys agree that it was ugly then, and it's still ugly. In general, the best fix for a bad looking car is more power, but the Prowler's 253HP V6 provided neither a lot of oomph nor an attractive exhaust note. Girls: if your mom did it better and looked better doing it, maybe just stay home on Saturday night.......
Our trauma surgeon Stephan Moran discusses some self-driving car problems as well as how he'd address them to make piloting vehicles with "autonomous" technology safer.
Then the crew gets into when certain features that we remember--carburetors, front bench seats, cassette players, pop-up headlights, vent windows, and chrome bumpers--died, plus features on current cars that we think will die soon.
