That makes two of us. I especially love the convertible sedans they made back then. Somehow four doors and a top that opens is something you can't get anymore. Cars built in the 30s like this one are especially great since they are much more drivable today than cars built before then - you usually get synchronized…

He is the first president without white privilege and the most progressive on equal rights issues. Who cares if his economic and foreign policy could be better? In the big picture, none of that stuff really matters. Showing gay people and POC that you care about them does.

True. If it turns out that no Democrat can step up to fill Obama's giant shoes (let's face it, he is the best pres we've ever had), I'd much rather have Christie than any of the other Repubs, though.

Thing is, just because it isn't well-lit, edited, well mic-ed etc doesn't necessarily mean it's a sex tape. It always amazes me how apparently even major studio productions seem to be shot by people who have never so much as set foot in a film class.

Don't forget all the super-manly guys who are aficionados of big-ass rim jobs.

As mean as it sounds, there's some truth to this. A relative of mine got lap-band surgery and it quickly turned out that skin removal would be a necessity. He looked like a bloodhound for a while.

While it is indicative of a larger cultural problem, I have zero problems with his personal decision, whatever the reason may be. Just because you're fat doesn't mean you're obliged to be the poster child for fat empowerment. I don't think shaming people for being fat is ok at all, but to give people the side-eye for…

I sort of heard about that before. I have to say that stouts and especially the super hoppy stuff so many Americans love isn't really my cup of tea either. I'm more of a lager person (I loved some of the Pilsners they had in Germany, especially the Czech ones), although I do like pale ales.

I've always liked this oldschool S-class promo film. It's so understated yet subtly humorous. Driving used to be such a hassle - now it's easier than ever! Let us show you just how easy it is with the new W116! No hypermasculine voiceovers or aggressive music required.

I've noticed this, too - I chalk it up to the German mentality of "keine experimente". If they buy a beer, it had better taste exactly like they are used to. Leaving aside the "look at me, I'm so individualistic" types in the large cities (especially in Berlin - I saw some weird-ass folks on the trains there), I found…

Yeah, the German fondness for beer mix-drinks fascinated me. Apparently, wheat beer with banana juice or even cola is another favorite. Only in a country where decent or even great wheat beer is widely available, so nothing special, will people start mixing it with goddamn cola.

When I was visiting Germany, we were staying in a rural Pension, which essentially means you stay in a guest room in a private home. Over the world's most hearty breakfast, we talked to the elderly landlady about how much beer the people constructing a barn close to the house were drinking.

If you're wondering what it's actually like to hang out with regular working class Germans, this is how their brains work. You've trained for years on this Bagger front-loader, the Arbeitstag is over and it's time for a good Feierabend, so just crack open 'n Bier and get drinking.

Man I wish they had put this into production. The 2nd gen F-bodies' styling was already cribbed from 60s Ferraris so much, they might as well have taken it all the way.

What is that? It looks like a 2nd-gen Camaro or Firebird tarted up. A lot.

Yeah. Part of it might be the instant familiarity of every Bounce song ever, because let's face it, they all pretty much have the same beat.

Maybe I should have added "anymore". Back in the day, that's what these cars were about. Today, if you buy a classic muscle car to be the fastest at the light, you're doing it wrong. Because unless you modify it until it's basically a modern car in a classic body, you'll likely lose.

In their defense, isn't a life of ostentatious pseudo-luxury worth becoming a murderous scumbag who will likely come to a violent end before he turns 40? I mean, I'd gladly kill one dude or another if it meant I get to sleep in every day.

None of this is real pop, though. This shit is way too alternative to truly fulfill my need for disposable plastic tunes. Proper pop is sung by a Brand X Rihanna or a neon colored white girl and has a rap interlude by Flo Rida. Also, David Guetta produced it.

Yeah, but who cares? The point of a classic muscle car is not to be the fastest guy at the lights. It's really more about the "unpligged" driving experience and great sound and style of these cars. If you want to go fast, buy a modern (muscle) car.
