That’s either for the nanny or the side chick.

What are the chances that Seinfeld was the winning buyer of this manual?

Or Cadillac is lying. Which is hard to imagine, I know! But may be possible.

Dude, this *is* journalism. Bozi is one of the few auto writers - maybe the only auto writer - who would notice the Brembos and start looking at the parts catalogs to see what Brembo part is fitted.

The 4th gen Legacy seems like an awfully good answer.

At the playa airport, they have to use the same maintenance procedures that the Air Force uses in Afghanistan. Propellers get sanded down to uselessness over the course of the week. They keep trying to tell people not to even try and fly turbine-engine aircraft in, but people do it anyway.

Yup, brand identity crisis in a big way. Really sucks, because the products are better than they’ve been since, literally, 1971.

ATS-V is a *lot* of car for $42k.

Honestly, an Escalade-V would be pretty badass. I probably wouldn’t pony up the ducats they’d want for it, because I’ve got a Yukon Denali and I can bolt a supercharger on it myself thank you very much, but there’s any number of dudes that would.

That is an *excellent* question.

They’re actually not assholes at all, but the rest of your description is spot-on.

It really means that he’s going to be cleaning playa dust out of his engines and propeller bearings from now until he sells that little Cessna, or the engine/prop fails and it crashes. Whichever comes first.

Dali would have put up the wings, without the fuselage in the middle.

I’ve heard firsthand that the Burning Man organization is incandescently angry at Big Imagination. Their camp was known to be a bit half-assed about this whole project - last year’s they only got, like, the nosecone and the flight deck of the 747 out there, because ... reasons? BMOrg was tolerating it because the 747…

Yup, this. It’s to keep people from climbing onto the landing gear.

Damn, you’re right. I was fooled by that picture of the Gremlin. Damn Kinja won’t let me delete. :-(

Shit, you’re right. I was thrown off by the Gremlin in the picture. And Kinja won’t let me delete. :-(

Yeah, that’s the thing. J-bodies at least got you there. Whereas the X-bodies left countless single mothers stranded by the side of the road.

Gotta be the GM X-bodies from the early 80s. These are literally the cars that destroyed GM’s credibility and drove buyers into the arms of Honda and Toyota. One of GM’s largest-ever R&D investments yielded a car that was prone to rust, subframe failures, overheating, premature engine failure, clunking…

I’ve been using an Envoy XL with the 5.3 as a tow pig / delivery van for (zoiks!) about 13 years. The seats are crap, and if I’m honest, it’s required a lot more unscheduled service than it should. But I find it fun to drive, an endearing little beastie.
