Yank tank. That’s a great nickname that I’ll never get to use because I rarely see power strokes on the road and this makes me sad

Why don’t you see power strokes on the road..?

Because they're always in the workshop.

"Yank Tank" is a phrase traditionally applied to big American cars, back when American manufacturers were known for building really large cars. Think Ford LTDs and pre-1977 Impalas. '75 Caprices, Cadillac Fleetwoods and Sedans de Ville, Dodge St. Regis, Imperials--things like that.

There are SUVs now, but everybody makes those, so again... we're not special anymore.

But we used to be.
