Speaking of Twins, here's Schwarzenegger playing Danny DeVito to Wilt Chamberlain and Andre the Giant's Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Well to course it doesn't mean that anyone HAD to vote for Mustangs, but there's no denying that it's a car with a very large and extremely rabid fanbase. Can you imagine the uproar if the Mustang had been excluded for the list altogether? Why else would five Mustangs have made it to the second round (three of which…

People referring to Corvettes and Vipers as "muscle cars" seems like a more recent phenomenon, and I personally blame Top Gear. The Vette and Viper have always been classified as sports cars, because that's what they are. Sleek, fast, RWD, meant to corner and accelerate with equal aplomb. But on Top Gear they're…

They had Chevelle, Impala and El Camino SS's, plus a Chevy II SS327 (not to mention left-field stuff like the Cosworth Vega and Monza V8). There were also several interesting non-Mustang Fords, plus a whole bevy of Mopars to choose from. No, the real problem is that there were at least two Mustangs too many on the…

While there were no Mustang vs. Mustang matchups in the first round, the sheer number of Mustangs (8) and variety of variants gave them a huge advantage over every other car. There were also Mustangs in three out of four categories, an advantage no other model could claim. Just look at the final four. The only car in…

So were most American cars of that era, but "general poor quality" isn't really a design mistake. It's just lazy, shoddy, built-to-a-price construction.

The second-gen Taurus' looks wouldn't qualify. This was a list about design mistakes, i.e. things that effect the car's functionality, longevity and/or driver experience, not bad styling choices. In fact, the ugliness of the second-gen Taurus and similarly ovaled-out Escort has shown up in a couple bad styling top…

How is that a design flaw? Are you saying the design of a 1990 Nissan pickup is so similar to a 1969 Mustang that anyone who owns both won't be able to tell the difference?

This makes more sense. I don't recall ever seeing a per-price breakdown of dealer-installed equipment on a window sticker, nor have I seen a dealer markup (or adjusted market value, or value package, or however it's worded) listed as a separate line item from said options. I'm sure $1495 is College Park's standard (if…

In the original story, the customer who originally inquired about the price of the door guards mentioned that he saw them on "every car in the lot." It was also mentioned that the dealership most likely did this so they could advertise their sticker prices as below MSRP, then basically make the massively overpriced…

Hey! I wear flannel! But I also think Cobain's music is, at best, highly overrated.

As a huge fan of the Melvins who's seen them a half-dozen times with three different band lineups, I can say you're partially right. I've seen two shows I'd classify as shitty, but the others rank with some of the best I've seen. Sometimes they play amazing shows, and other times they just get up there and…

What gets me is that $99,999.99 is the top bid, and it still hasn't met the reserve. I want to know how much the current owner thinks it's worth.

Chris Cornell was never in Nirvana. He was in Soundgarden.

A friend of mine has one of those, and it's really a fantastic car. You're right about everything else, though. I could never own one, because of the weird ergonomics you mentioned. Basically, my shoulders are too wide for the car's flat, upright sides. That's why I cast my vote for the 164. Another friend of mine has…

There's a big difference between "don't run the car without oil," and "don't let the battery charge drop to a vaguely-defined critical level." Not to mention that regular cars' owner's manuals also throw in a "or catastrophic failure can result." Also, don't you think it's a bit odd that Tesla never bothered to…

Have YOU read the owner's manual? I have, and the section on what happens when the battery loses too much of a charge (the now-infamous Page 5-2, seen here: [media.theunderstatement.com]) is incredibly vague on two major points, namely how depleted the battery can get before there's permanent damage, and the ultimate…

Actually, the manual's wording is pretty far from clear. Look at the section next to the yellow marker: "Caution: If the Battery’s charge level falls to 0%, it must be plugged in immediately. Failure to do so can permanently damage the Battery..." and in the next sentence: "...if you allow the Battery to fall to a…

BAD ASS.

Needs more smoke.
