Is a joint venture car, like Geos, Vibes, Saturns/Honda, Ford/Mazda or Chrysler/Mitsubishi products rice burner or not?

Geos and Vibes were GM/Japanese joint ventures and I read some Chryslers had Mitsubishi parts. Some Saturns had Honda engines. I think Mazda built some cars for Ford or some such, so in my family we called Mazda Japanese Fords, once. However, the cars carried Geo (later Chevy), Pontiac, Saturn, Chrysler (or one of its divisions) or Ford (not sure if Mazda made any cars for their Lincoln-Mercury division) badging.

Car pulls to the right and left even after alignment?

I own a 2013 ford and I had a new set of tires and alignment. But the car still pulls to the right and left and the steering wheel vibrates in +65. The steering wheel feels heavy and doesn't feel like before. Does anyone have any idea about the problem?

If Trump colluded with Russia, and Trump knows that proof is imminent, could he use this method to protect himself and the GOP in 2020?

Step 1: Trump Pardons every possible person related to the happenings, then resigns his presidency. And yes, he can pardon people before they ae charged, just as Ford did Nixon.

Step 2: Mike Pence, in his only act as President, pardons former President Trump, then resigns himself.

Pence has yet to be accused of wrongdoing in the matter, and in fact wasn't named as Trump's running mate on the dates that are being looked at, so Pence will not be in need of a pardon.

Step 3: Pence resigns, and House Speaker Paul Ryan, another man who wouldnt have been involved, is next in line.

President Ryan strongly condemns the actions and subsequent pardons and promises a new era of honesty and transparency to the American people and rolls up his sleaves and gets to work, in an era where the Russian investigation is irrelevant and behind us. (No one left to prosecute due to the pardons)

Result: Trump and company ae off the hook, and uninvolved Paul Ryan will likely not be dogged by it in 2020.

1980 Ford Pinto wagon for first car?

I'm a car guy looking for a first car. For a long time I wanted an old VW beetle but right down the road from me I spotted a 1980 Ford Pinto wagon for sale. It is $4000. It has 41,000 original miles. The interior is in excellent original condition and the guy has took very good care of this car. Don't tell me stuff like "they exploded when rear-ended" because that is a myth. Give me your take on this and give me your advice. Have you ever owned a pinto? Anything helps.
