I had a Citation. It was terrible. But the not the worst thing in the world. I still have fond memories of that car.

I always liked the X platform cars. Kind of GM’s answer to the K-cars. Basic, fwd cars that never got any respect. Maybe rightly so, but these boxy Olds Omegas are a wonderful example of a car with just enough frills.

I had a brown Reliant sedan that was a wonderful car. Sacrificed itself when I got t-boned by a new Corolla. I didn’t have a scratch on me and the little Plymouth limped home with me on its final ride. I’ll always miss that car.

Jean-Pierre Wimille. The most successful driver in the era just before WWII. Mentored Fangio. A member of the French Resistance along with some other Bugatti works drivers during the war. Then began designing fascinating road cars after the war which would have gone into production had he not been killed while preparin…

400i Convertible. Nice. I didn’t remember that. Automan had a Lambo.

She did. My dad bought her a used 308 GTSi when I was like 10. It was awesome. He got a good deal on it. It was a few years old and had been owned by a tracksuit wearing Long Island goombah who had stuck a giant 1980's wing on the back. But, that car ran like a top. She only kept it a few years, but she would tear ass…

I know.

When I was a kid, my mom had a Ferrari 308 and it took her a little while to find its door release when she first got it. Not to the point where she feared she’d be trapped forever, though. 

My buddy who writes for another car magazine has had one for a year now without one issue. I think a lot of kinks have been worked out. And they’re a special car to drive.

Nice to see the Nissan NX on here. I loved the one I had. I used to see plenty of them back when they were new, but they disappeared pretty quickly. And they were well made cars. I had mine for 20 years and it never had a thing wrong with it the whole time.

Daihatsu Taft. A tiny turbocharged box on wheels. It’s perfect. 

Airflow. Too ahead of its time.

My Datsun 620 was 169" I think. That was a small truck. And it was awesome, and all the truck I and a lot of other people needed.

So far they’re batting 1.000 with it, though.

Luke taking Grogu makes sense, but I still wish they hadn’t gone that way. They could have had Luke show up and tell Mando that Grogu doesn’t need a Jedi, he needs to stay with him. He’s already got the technical skills, he needs to learn how to be a good person, and only Din can teach him those lessons now because of…

No, old technology shouldn’t be compared to new technology. Old things should be revered for their historical importance. Al Pacino’s performance in Dog Day Afternoon was great, and hasn’t stopped being a great performance just because he isn’t a great performer anymore, or there have been better performances since.…

I would say an 8 bit computer is great because of its historical importance. We’re arguing different things, so there’s no point in continuing it. Your argument is dumb. That’s not an ad hominem attack, it’s a fact, and your smugness about it deserves an insult. Al Pacino is still a great actor. I can still watch his…

It’s inherently idiotic to compare an old car to today’s cars because almost no one is cross shopping old and new cars. So, why even have this argument? Old cars are not bad cars. A bad choice for a daily driver to commute in maybe. But, being old doesn’t make them bad. That’s been my argument this whole time. But,…

But, that doesn’t make Babe Ruth a bad baseball player. We’re not talking about buying the subjectively best car today. We’re talking about whether muscle cars were bad cars. They weren’t and still aren’t. Babe Ruth didn’t train to compete against today’s players just like those muscle cars weren’t built to compete…

They have a lot of fun action scenes. The old effects definitely don’t look better. At least the daylight stuff in those movies. They look pretty chintzy today.
