I thought the story was that Donnie Two Scoops refused to use the same toilet that Barack used.

My first Japanese car (1986 MR2 purchased in 1997 2000 Civic CX hatchback purchased in 2004) showed me that my previous love and evangelism of the quality and caliber of Volkswagens GM cars was based on ignorance and stupidity.

Back in 2000, I was 45 years old and being child-free did not want to appear as “Somebody having produced spawn and surrendering to minivan ownership” when I bought my first FWD minivan, but now that I am 65 Y.O. I have fully embraced my ownership of a Very Beige 2007 Honda Odyssey, our third vehicle of four, cur…

Upon further reflection, I should have noted, “Spread bore vs. square bore”. I was always a spread bore fan, as small primaries with more precise metering for cruising and big secondaries for performance makes intuitive sense to me, as it did to the engineers at Rochester Division.

A friend of mine referred to Quadrajets as “Quadrajunks”, but all my cars so equipped ran fine. On a related note, I’ll add “spreadbore” as another obsolete carburetor term.

Those that liked to have a nice car to drive during the three better seasons would usually have an older “winter beater” that they would use to commute with in the snow...the car would be used for only one or two winter seasons before being sent to the scrap yard.

Subaru, their commercials have left me with the indelible impression that Subarus are owned by dog owners.

Just think about all the money they saved by using the same GM part number over five or more brands, rather than tool up and stock various Chevy, Pontiac, etc. seat belts. I’m sure that was a consideration when they were forced by federal mandate to install those expensive, pesky seat belts back in the 1960's.

The weight they have these down to would make an F1 car designer blush.

Just, wow. The JDM fetish is strong with this one...

Trump: Loser. Bigly loser.

Honda Odyssey is the obvious answer. Embrace it; ignore the Minivan Stigma (easy for me to say when I am now 65 y.o., less so than when I was 45), and Honda Elements in decent shape and low-ish miles are pretty much unobtanium in 2021. And David: I am the last person to disapprove of smoking weed, but come on, a 1927…

I have no nostalgia for old cars, although some were nice looking modern cars are so much better.

I had a 1980 Pontiac Sunbird notchback [Followed by multiple complaints].

NEVER forget who is responsible for this

How about “insurrectionists”? “Rioters” isn’t sufficiently descriptive.

I’m old enough to have used 8 inch floppy disks on the job. They were part of enormous “blue box” Intel development systems in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. I don’t remember their capacity but think it was in the hundreds of KB.

Starred for, “I had a large quantity of vegetation in my pockets”.

Manual trans, crank windows and manual locks.

Explains my intense craving to listen to Hendrix and Clapton since I got my vaccine
