As an old fart, whose even older fart father was a Dodge loyalist, I immediately recognized the logo but was unaware Dodge stopped using it by 1976—and even more unaware the thing had a name.

And if you’re SUPER lucky, you might get to shoot someone, or at least beat them.

“...why police officers would engage in a high-speed chase in a residential area...” Because, woo-hoo, chases are exciting and manly and like the movies! And if you’re lucky a news helicopter will broadcast your exciting manly adventure live and repeat it on the late news! You might even end up on YouTube!

I suspect the “matching sad khaki cargo pants” were actually über-manly, fantasy-fulfilling “tactical” pants. Slightly upscale from camo.

Yeah, adding weight and things to go wrong for the sake of what is really just a marketing gizmo.

The Vehicle Production Group not only sounds like a state-run Soviet bureau, but the “styling” also looks like it originated in the Bloc. Or current North Korea.

I was the standard suburban kid getting the learner’s permit at 15 and driver license at 16. Didn’t learn to drive a manual transmission until I was 22. I apologize to the first clutch on my VW Type 3 fastback.

So, did Honda require that you underexpose your photos and not correct the yellow cast?

Mitsuoka Designer #1 looking at a prototype: The front end looks too nice and clean. We have to fix that.

“...the four teens who were arrested were charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and second-degree assault...” Yeah, because just writing them tickets for vaping would be insufficient punishment for being Black.

I’m generally a non-user of armrests because my torso is too long for my elbows to reach the armrest without slouching to the side. When I can get away with it I fold the armrest out of the way, giving myself a precious extra inch or two of width.

I’ve been living/traveling in my Express van for eight years. What do you want to know?

Damn jury was biased against murder.

I read the headline, did a quick mental inventory of old VW quirkiness, and the first thing on the list was the battery under the rear seat.

My guess: they were taught the PIT in some kind of refresher training a few months ago and now they’re eager to use it.

All TRUE North Carolinians drink Pepsi anyway, since it was created in the state. (Though they’ll never forgive PepsiCo for relocating to New York.)
