That Had a Manual? The Buick Verano Edition

June 20, 2014

I know the category this piece falls under is “That Had a Manual?” But the Buick Verano, prized by absolutely no one, excluding rental car companies, people who run sweepstakes contests, and retirement community dwellers, can be bought brand-new with a manual.

That Had a Manual?: The Chrysler Minivan Edition

February 24, 2014

By this point, you've seen the latest and greatest pieces in the right column and you're wondering, "Is he writing yet another column about Chrysler products?" The answer is yes, though I don't think it'll continue much longer, since there's always a past General Motors product foible to discuss on Clunkerture.
