The 2nd Gen Pontiac Fiero that never happened.

I’ve always liked VW’s Habanero Orange Metallic.

I bet the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department would love to get their hands on these. Instead of just crashing into a building, they could take a building out entirely.

Deadspin hasn’t been the same since 2019 anyway. 

I imagine that set up created a lot of noise pollution. 

Take your pick of these vans: Ford Transit Custom, VW Transporter/California, Renault Grand Kangoo, Mercedes T-Class, Peugeot Rifter, Citroen Berlingo, Buick GL8, Hyundai Staria, Honda Stepwgn 

The front bumper, headlights, and grill scream Volkswagen. Before reading the article I thought it was just some weird rebadging job.

They’re also horrible for lake ecosystems, especially in shallow lakes. Lake bed disturbance and uprooting of aquatic plants. I’m sure the owners are really good about cleaning out the ballast tanks too when going from one lake to another.

I have 20" wheels on mine. Sure, they look great, but after two sidewall bulges (possibly a third, jury is still out) and a bent wheel from potholes I’ve learned my lesson. Never again. 

My current vehicle is grey after having red, maroon, and blue. VW stopped offering the fun colors in the trim level I wanted (red, habanero orange, forest green, silk blue metallic, etc.) and only offered white, silver, black, and grey. At the time VW’s website showed silk blue metallic as an option, but they never…

Too bad they couldn’t have sent the baggage claim carousels from Montreal-Mirabel to St. Louis Lambert Terminal 2 before it wad demolished. 

Since he liked the GTI, naturally a Golf R should have been suggested. 

Anything involving dairy is probably the worst. When I was a kid I remember a gallon of milk somehow having a small leak in the container on the way home from the grocery store. By the time the groceries made it home the milk had almost all leaked out into the footwell of the rear seat of our Chevy Celebrity. It…

Not a lot introduced in the US in 1980. I’d probably have to go with the Ford Escort (1981 model introduced in the fall of 1980).

I always find the interchanges to nowhere fascinating. I always like to look up the history behind them. Here are two examples I can think of:

Meh. I voted for her twice. I agreed with what she intended to do, she just failed miserably with the execution of those plans. The police officer exclusion list was warranted. She definitely needed to go when it was time to go. I was just glad that our hillbilly Governor didn’t install some “law and order” honk in…

I currently live here. While yes, crime could improve (it’s actually dropped significantly this year), it’s largely overblown by people who don’t even live in the city. Definitely tired of the cops getting a free pass all the time for their handling of most situations.

Oh I’m sure it will probably go the route of their own insurance paying for the repairs, the insurance company going after the city, and in the end, us taxpayers will end up footing the bill for the repairs plus the lawsuit that will come from the bar owners. They deserve every penny they end up getting, but at some…

It’s not enough, but the prosecutor agreed to release Mr. Morris on his own recognizance this morning. The security cam footage posted on twitter shows they were likely driving too fast, came too close to a parked car and overcorrected. This story is such garbage and it’s high time SLMPD is held accountable for their…

A couple years ago I suggested to the City of St. Louis fleet director that they should consider this hybrid over the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe because of the fuel savings at idle, and was basically laughed at. However, I suppose the Tahoe better reflects the highly resistant to change dinosaur that is the St. Louis…
