Just getting in shape for the New Year’s Day “Panda Bare Plunge”.

First off, all that “camera work” has to make for seriously unsafe distracted driving on a public road. Terrible, especially in front of this very impressionable middle-aged Jalopnik crowd.

I have a $15,000 custom equipment rider on our new BraunAbility van. And that wouldn’t cover a replacement conversion. The van itself is covered as any other Pacifica.

Yep, it’s wierd. Sometimes wrong just looks right.

Ah, yes, lower standards. 

Back up cameras are great periscopes to see over F350 beds would be better in the Starbucks parking lot. 

And your boat’s too damn big too!

On the bright side, those lower-to-the-ground headlights are less likely to blind you at night when they pull up being your Jalopnik-approved Miata at a traffic light.

I’m not gonna tell what is sitting in the back driveway at my 91 year old father’s house. Used to pull trailer loaded with antique tractors to parades and shows. Those are now in a museum. Truck with 68k miles will be donated to the church when that sad day comes.

I always liked my 95 Camaro front plate holder. It puts the plate right where I’d put it. But is really easy to remove and leaves the car looking like they never even thought about a front plate when designing it.

LOL. Definitely needed one more STi logo up front. But it does at least make it look like it belong there.

Proving again that the 1997-2001 Camry is the best all around car for everything. Including stealing light poles.

And, I was not aware that Nebraska was the Beef State before it was the Cornhusker State. I guess that would have made Iowa the Pork State.

Bet the Michigan State folk love it, too.

Wrong Nebraska plate! The state outline from the 60s where the registration sticker fit perfectly under the panhandle was Cornhusker perfection. Make mine red on white please.

The Bangle era was not an excess of surfacing as much as it was the jarring nature of it. The recent designs (prior to whatever it is that’s going on now) did have an excess of surfacing but to good effect, I always thought. Maybe a bit over the top around the front end.

Look Ma!  Chevy Blazer!

Some. And in most cases parts, not the entirety of the design. IMHO.

There’s a lot to dislike here visually. Hopefully the car is more appealing.

Hole Eeeee! Crap.
