This was particularly worthy of a giggle-snort:

Hav-a-Tampas are the worst. Swishers are like fucking Dunhill blues by comparison. Source: My dad smoked those damn things and I got gassed with the secondhand blowing into the backseat of his rusted-out Coupe de Ville.

Waiting for the Spirit R version...

The first company to provide phone sex via Alexa will make beaucoup bucks. The thing is that Alexa does automatic language translation, so you could even have third-world women who speak no English work this at cut-rate prices.

With four doors and a long(ish) wheelbase, it’s really more of a bargain-basement Tatra.

That Genesis runs the 1/4 in the high 13s! Which, not so long ago, would have made it faster than Mustangs, Camaros, and Corvettes.

It was ... a different time.

Yup, that was the ‘88 restyle. But still the same J-body platform.

Yeah, for $4M it should go faster. Also, a little Googling reveals that Personal Luxury Submersibles are a whole damn product category!

You owned KITT!

Huh? Totally different platforms: the Cavalier was a J-body car, and the Beretta was an L-Platform car. They shared engines, but the Beretta was one size up from the Cavalier, and everything from suspension geometry to switchgear was different.

True! And add the Mazda MX-6 and MX-3 to that list.

Oh, sir, I have driven these things. And made out in the front seat of at least one truly horrible blue 4-cylinder Beretta. They were indeed awful cars by any objective measure...but the Beretta was a *lot* better than the Cavalier and the K-Car. And I had a Fox Body Mustang, without the V-8, and it sucked, too.

Probably the right choice. Beretta GT’s had a really torquey V-6 and were a much more modern, better-handling platform than the K-Car Daytona or Fox-body Mustang. And Mustangs with the 2.3L 4 were slooooooooow.

I had the Revell model of that car! I recall it was that exact color, with those wheels. Always thought the wheels were cool.

I’m looking just behind the front passenger wheel. I see a big gap with daylight shining through it.

Yup. Take a look at that passenger side frame rail, which appears to have perforated entirely. That’s rust.

“White-hat” trolling is an excellent use of your Photoshop skills.
