Plymouth Reliant
In this Aug. 7, 1980, file photo, Chrysler Corp. Chairman Lee Iacocca with the first K Car, a Plymouth Reliant, in Detroit. Former Chrysler CEO Iacocca became a folk hero for rescuing the company. Lee Iacocca and Joe Czar (Production Manager at right) drove the first K Car offline at the Chrysler Jefferson Plant. The Chrysler K platform was developed just as the company faltered in the market, at first underpinning a modest range of compact/mid-size sedans and wagons—and eventually underpinning nearly fifty different models, including all-wheel drive variants. The right car at the right time. They were initially very profitable, and Iacocca credited them with allowing the company to pay off its bankruptcy loans early.
Following the 1973 oil crisis, compounded by the 1979 energy crisis, American consumers began to buy fuel-efficient, low-cost automobiles built in Japan. With the market for large V-8 engined cars declining, American domestic auto manufacturers found themselves trying to develop compact vehicles that could compete with the Japanese imports of Toyota, Honda, and Nissan in price and finish. The K-cars (Dodge Aries, Plymouth Reliant, Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge 400, and, in Mexico, Dodge Dart) sold over 2 million vehicles from 1981 to 1988

🇬🇧 Take a ride down memory lane with the iconic Reliant Regal! Introduced in 1953, this three-wheeled car captured the hearts of motorists across the UK with its charming design and practicality.
🚘 The Reliant Regal quickly became a symbol of affordable motoring, offering an economical alternative to traditional four-wheeled vehicles. With its compact size and nimble handling, it was the perfect choice for urban commuters and small families alike.
⚙️ Powered by a range of engines including a modest 600cc to a more spirited 850cc, the Reliant Regal delivered reliable performance and impressive fuel efficiency. Its distinctive appearance and distinctive sound made it a familiar sight on British roads.
📺 Despite its humble origins, the Reliant Regal achieved cult status thanks to its appearances in popular British TV shows such as "Only Fools and Horses", cementing its place in pop culture history.
🌟 Today, the Reliant Regal remains a cherished classic among automotive enthusiasts, embodying the spirit of British motoring heritage.

Atlas: How Truama Changed Me
I always need to play hero
It’s how I keep things in control
Mending things gives me value
It’s how I pay for your approval
But it will never be enough
Love is highly conditional
Trauma put the world on my shoulders
I didn’t get to choose
The weight gives me a purpose
It’s an outlet for my own needs
This is my new identity
Self-punishment is part of me
You say “when will you do what you want”
But i’ll alway try to fix everything
You are my responsibility
What I can do takes precedence over agency
Your problems become mine
I don’t get to choose me
Trauma put the world on my shoulders
I didn’t get to choose
The weight gives me a purpose
It’s an outlet for my own needs
This is my new identity
Self-punishment is part of me
Everything is my fault
I’m the only one who can do this
The pressure is on me
I have an Atlas complex
No need for concern
I’ll torture myself with people’s issues
To keep the earth in turn
Go check out my other works in my myths and legends series!
