Slight edge to NP, but only because I think there is some room for negotiation in the ask.

I've owned several wagons in my life. I have loved wagons even when I was a young man. For instance I was the only 22 year old I knew who purposely drove one. I would have bought a Fusion wagon two years ago when I bought my Outback except that Fusions aren't recommended for towing (but in reality could handle 1000#…

I'm married to a 48 year old woman, 25 years and counting. I'm too much of a gentleman to say I think she's very fuckable, but that's what I think.

Why not wagon-ize every car?

Damn dangerous and rude cyclists.... Insisting they have the right of way over automobiles. Something. Must. Be. Done.

The old Shelby GT500s did that in the 60's and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I was glad to see it return.

As for the tall vehicle arms race, that's been going on for 20 years. The point I was trying to make is that an entire generation, my wife being one of them, have become accustomed to tall cars starting 1984 with Chrysler minvans, and the 90's SUV craze. For various reasons, those cars have gotten lest popular and now…

She doesn't need the tallest vehicle, just one that's about as tall as the surrounding cars and trucks. Driving on our 5-6 lane interstates in something low-slung is akin to driving at the bottom of a well.

After driving either an SUV or a minivan since 1994, my wife won't have a car without a fairly high driving position. She simply does not like being the low vehicle surrounded by all the other tall cars. Gas prices near $4 mean the traditional full-size SUV is out of the question and she isn't going want another van…

Douchebaggery is douchbaggery, no matter how you color it.

To all who think Doug is a douche, let me gently correct you. Doug is not a douche. He is a Smart-Ass White Boy (SAWB).

The stuff that happened in the right front seat of my '71 240Z was beautiful, not disgusting!

Me too. Chevy.

I've got teeshirts older than Vettel. I guess that means I won't be winning any world championships.

No, that's a JDM '77. They were all coupes until then. Mine was a '77.

Both the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey minivans. These (for all intents and purposes) US-only models came into being to combat the category-killer front drive minivans from Chrysler. Funny thing is the rest of the US competition never did get it right: the only three worth owning are the aforementioned Toyota, Honda…

Except your photo is a second generation. I had a white one like that, but with US 5 mph bumpers. It was still a lovely car that evoked the Mustang fastback.

A friend of mine had one when we were teenagers. I thought it was so cool because of the dual exhausts. Like just about everything else from that era, it was very prone to rust. Like you could hear it rusting on a morning with heavy dew. He was lucky in that it caught fire and burned to a crusty, rusty lump before the…

Don't say that. I've been driving for 34 years, 2 tickets. First when I was 16 and the last one was about 12 or so years ago. I'm not due.

Do you still have any hearing left? Turn it down while you still do. Hearing aids are expensive.
