I’m reminded of Car and Driver’s 10 Best list in maybe the late 80s or early 90s. They imposed a price cutoff (maybe $40k in then-year dollars, $92k now, based on inflation rate and neglecting the complex issue of how other changes such as required tech content might affect the value proposition of cars). Their…

Well then it’s doubly (or more!) inconsiderate of the company for not having a system in place to turn away cars that are too dirty.

How about ALL of the emissions choked, vacuum line covered, electronically controlled carburetored anemic monstrosities of the 1970-80s???

I think these are the drive-through kind at gas stations where you put some money into the slot and run a gauntlet of spray nozzles and giant spinning brushes, all without human contact.

Seven grand for a battle-scarred nth-hand delivery van with a moon mission on the odometer, whose most recent owner equipped it with rimz and Initial D decals, but didn’t fix the air conditioning? (Summer in the Central Valley and no A/C—no wonder he’s getting rid of it!). So much No Dice I wish I could press it twice.

It would have been a “harrowing escape” if a dam had collapsed, or a volcano had erupted, or death squads had invaded the camp, or aliens had started laying waste to the place with disintegrator rays. They chose—against official advice if I’ve got this straight— to walk out, then hitched a ride the rest of the way.…

I love having one (and, like most Americans, I live in a city that makes inept halfhearted gestures at public transit) but must acknowledge that it comes at a price.

Looks pretty cool in a rather extroverted for me sort of way, but a lot of stuff I’d want to know more about before laying down almost ten grand is not shown in the (all of four) pictures and is yada’d off with “...on and on...” in the rather sparse text. Conditional NP for the right person, but I’d need to know a…

Even if you don’t care for these sorts of books, there’s got to be an exception for titans of their field. When your 50-year directoral résumé includes major responsibility for multiple cultural-landmark-grade sitcoms, your recollections are part of the history of the medium.

Besides, it’s implicitly on him too, right? As director, part of his job is getting the desired performances out of the actors.

Certainly the secret of its success wasn’t the writing.

With another round of COVID underway and regular ol’ cold and flu season just around the corner, let me just say that Friends is well-nigh perfect for calling in sick and pulling the covers up to your chin while waiting for the meds to work their magic.

It’s cheap enough that you could swap the flaming engine with an LS or LT and come out with a good track rat.

I’m not sure how, but somehow all that customization makes it look even more like a surplus cop car from the county auction.

he was surprisingly offered a plea deal that saw “multiple other felonies and sentencing enhancements for aggravated white collar crime between $100,000 to $500,000” dismissed.

I thought this was common knowledge.

Preach, brother!

He told the outlet that there are tons of flood signs in the area, with usually no water present.

I’m not saying they have made wise choices in the big picture, just that the result is being very close to the margin in this high cost of living area.

Some people can’t afford to replace their tires, some are going for a false economy, and many are just ignorant of this important issue.  California, surprisingly, has no concept of safety inspection for privately owned cars, so you see people driving around on tires so worn out, you could stick a penny in the tread…
