Wait, are you seriously criticizing a car because it *only* is reliable up to 200k miles?! Seems like a pretty damn good service life to me.

The one I heard over and over again was:

Aaaaand...$kaycog does not disappoint!

I thought both the Vega and the Baby Blazer were good designs, at least aesthetically. Mechanically, of course, they drove people into the arms of Honda and Toyota.

Yes, true. And airplane designers have experimented with that, for just this reason. But apparently people find it disorienting to ride backwards once the G-forces get to a certain point. And as anyone who had ridden in the rear-facing backseat of a Volvo 240 or Olds Vista Cruiser can tell you, the puke factor does go

Also, Luscious Jackson.

Bose, Bowers & Wilkins, and Burmeister: This is what a “live mobile concert experience” *really* looks like.

When I did concert sound and lighting it was an open secret that the drummers always, *always* got the girls. The lead singers would peacock around in the green room and do all the chatting and flirting, but at the end of the night you’d see drummers get in the Silver Eagle with a girl on each arm.

Nothing whatsoever, really. I had a Ferrari with pretty much the same motivation: It didn’t leave the garage often, but I really enjoyed knowing that I’d been able to buy my childhood dream car.

Winner winner, chicken dinner. (Says the guy with the 944 engine still in pieces in his garage, even though the head came back from the machine shop over Thanksgiving.)

Manual transmission + Pasha interior + under 100k miles = nice price.

America won’t be safe until the last Baby Boomer is strangled with the entrails of the last cable news pundit.

That’s actually a damned good idea.

Where can I make a donation to that ticket?

Are the Democrats even running a candidate in 2020? As far as I can tell, the party is grooming *nobody*. My cats have a deeper bench of leadership, and my Lemons car has campaigned in more states.

I can’t make heads or tails of that Twitter exchange. It’s not crazy to believe that Univision’s owners are buddy-buddy with Trump at some level (which may just include “got photographed together at some cocktail party that included many insanely rich dudes”). But that sure doesn’t seem to have made the Gawker

I’m pretty sure Natasha Fatale and Fancy Kristen are BFFs. I would very much like to be part of their boy-toy entourage for New York’s Fashion Week. Or their bodyguard for the post-parties at CES, either one.

Well, compared to other cars that have won their class at Pebble Beach, this is pretty inexpensive. And it’s gorgeous. So...NP.

The ‘83 was the car that made everyone think maybe the Malaise Era would someday end - all the guys in my high school wanted one (including me). But by the late ‘80s there was a lot of faster hardware out there. I had a heck of a good time smoking those things with a Volvo 740 Turbo in street drags.

OK, I’ve sent you an email!
