What about shooting the radiator? The engine heats up, the car stops.

Cars are subject to fashion trends just as much as all other consumer goods. If you don't believe me, I've got my parents avocado green crockpot around here, somewhere inthe attic. Stationwagons once weighed down suburban driveways across America. They were replaced by "personal luxury coupes" such as the Cutlass,…

Thank you. You saved me the effort. Now, about that wooden badger....

Uh, beyond the knights. Everybody used horses in World War II, and many armies used them afterwards.

Absolutely. The horse served in every army up through, and including, World War II. And in many cases beyond WWII.

Absolutely correct, sir. Without the Liberty ships, the Sherman tank would have never made it to France, the spare parts for the Enola Gay never would have made it to Guam, and Sir Gallahad and his men like Brave Sir Robin never would have nails to construct the Wooden Rabbit.

My point is that if you want to indulge in exercises of mental masturbation, then by all means, go hard and go deep. Call your insurance agent about the difference in premiums between the Fiesta and Range Rover.

If buyers buy this thing thinking it's a car, that's one thing. But if they buy it with the same perspective as they would as an "enclosed motorcycle that seats four and keeps you dry in the rain," then that's a totally different situation.

Sure, why not. A new set of tires alone is only $800.

When Musk farts, it causes speculation. I wish you people would just blow him and get over the man crush.

You're answer is correct, sir. I drive on 78 too. It's shady enough in broad daylight.

You obviously are not familiar with the VW-supplied diesels of this era. It was a frankencar when it rolled out of the factory in Gothenburg.

It's too expensive to be a parts car, not cheeeeep enough to be acquired for finishing someone else's project.

I wish the sales numbers broke out fleet sales. It's about time the rental fleets replace their old 200s.

$15k is too much, way too much, even if all the parts cars cars, where all the parts had been scavenged, were included in the deal.

The car ads were great. But none of them took a licking and kept on ticking like John Cameron Swayze and his Timex ads.

You're making the assumption that I prefer Detroit pig iron over either of the above mentioned cars. I don't. I'm merely pointing out that a dooshy white Porsssshhh compared to a "wish I could be a doosh" 3-series is like having to choose two things that really aren't particularly good in the first place. For $30k,…

I have no interest in either of those cars. There must be something wrong with me. One says "dooshnozzle" and the other says "asspiring dooshnozzle." (sic x 2)

Yeah, but you can still call someone a "lot lizard." It's based on behavior and not physical characteristics of the person. I don't think the AG is going to drop the hammer on you guys for that. 8^)

I first heard "lot lizard" around 1986.
