Boxer all the things. The I-4 is an intriguing option, but I like the lower center of gravity offered by a flat-four.

I also hope we get a GR85 with the Crosstrek 152hp motor.

GR86: please be a liftback, please be a liftback, please be a liftback...

Thinking about the number of innocent Peugeot 505s, Sterling 825s and Alfa 164s that died during Cash4Clunkers still makes me feel ill.

You know, I’m hoping that the prices of R32 sedans will get lower now that more R33s are coming stateside, and interest generating articles like this really aren’t helping  

Unfortunately, this did not happen soon enough. CNN is reporting that Doug DeMuro has passed away.

With one of these vans and a box of puppies you could easily end up with a bunch of kids.

It is an earlier model, you can tell by the location of the front Ford logo(but not too early). Later versions had the Ford logo in the top of the grille and not the middle of it. This one is probably around 1989–1991. 

Can I play?

Just use the dead dolphin skin for the seat upholstery.

I get receipts for everything, always, because I trust no one. I’m also extremely well-adjusted and not at all constantly on high alert. 

This is why I always get a receipt for every fill-up I get. Just in case a situation like this occurs so that I have evidence of a claim against the station.

Accidentally hit publish before I was finished. Regarding the Rivian as a hearse, believe it or not at almost 200 inches it’s actually too short for practical funeral use. I just measured our hearse (MKT) and it’s over 250 inches (our last hearse was smaller, but it was still over 220). From the back of the front…

This only works for funeral homes that have an extra removal car in the fleet. For funeral homes that don’t have the extra car it’s definitely not just short trips to the local church and cemetery. Our hearse does trips of 150-300 miles with fair regularity and has gone as far as 700 round trip in the line of duty.…

This particular gambit also seems to have paid off for Bad Religion, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden.

Nissan Skyline says hi

You must be a big fan of Peter Gabriel’s first four albums:

Behold my mom’s 1977 Dodge Aspen wagon (not the actual car in the photo, but that’s pretty much what it looked like).

AMC would like to have a word with you. 

I’ve always disliked the practice of self-titling albums. The only time the lack of a unique title seems to work is if it’s their debut album. Because that’s when nobody yet knows if the artist is going to be successful. Until a second record is released, that initial album is pretty much synonymous with the band’s…
