Both at the same time, actually.

Even though I like the idea, CP from me. Mostly because 1) no info on the engine and its mileage, 2) all the missing trim (don’t break it if you’re not going to replace it), and 3), those “VRS” badges. They’re obviously made up of letters from different badges, but the fonts don’t match. That doesn’t bother me as much…

Ditto - I haven’t watched the originals in years, but I don’t recall it being that overtly political. Everything just seemed shoehorned in, like the political jokes in Last Man Standing. Once an episode Tim Allen has to say “Hey, look! I’m a conservative! NOBUMMER! KEEP THE CHANGE!”. Here, it’s “Hey, look! We’re all…

I liked the idea of the driver being super talkative, even though it’s an obvious joke. But making the character a hacky stereotype was just lazy writing, and kind of emblematic of how bad the show was.

I would say “Fuck these snowflakes”, except that I once accidentally ended up face down in a snowbank, and that was unpleasant, and I imagine that fucking any of these dipshits would be even less pleasant. Is there another phrase we should use? I’m drawing a blank, but in my defense I did have a few beers tonight.

Sometimes. Sometimes I scrape the remnants off with a knife and add them to the recipe, when I’m feeling like I need EXACTLY one stick of butter.

Depending on the song, sure.

The Rickenbacker stock caught my interest as well, since the company was relatively small, I’d no idea they had offered shares for sale. It’s certainly got general US history interest, as well as automotive, because of the connection to EVR.

I’m pretty sure that’s not an actual eighties song.

A lot of that was mustache.

He had a guest spot on Wrecked this season and his one scene was with Rhys Darby, and it was wonderful to watch.

That reminds me of...I think it was a really basic version of the Ford Escort, that instead of a tach, had a giant fuel gauge in that spot.

“Rusty Toolbox” is my newest junk mail alias.

That’s actually what happens. If you have the stomach for it, look up the old Mythbusters episode where they left two pig carcasses in a sealed car (in a shipping container, not out in the open) for a couple of months. There was lots of condensation in the car when they finally unsealed it. It also produced a lot of…

Speaking as a relative outsider on the old version of the AV Club, a ton of comments over there were nothing more than inside jokes. It was actually pretty irritating to have to scroll down till you finally found some actual content that wasn’t some more “Portage, Schemerhorn” bullshit. I stopped reading comments a…

I’d rock a Holden Apollo, myself. That or a third gen Nissan Maxima with a stick. With plates from somewhere in the Midwest (like Iowa or Kansas).

I had a suddenly dead battery in my old ‘96 Miata. Daily driven since I’d bought it seven years previously, and it still had it’s original battery in it. Got into the car one day, drove for ten or fifteen minutes, stopped, and when I got back in the car was completely dead - no radio, lights, dash warning lights, no…

I think he meant park relatively close to one, not next to one. Then again, there’s never any carts anywhere near the corrals at my local Target, so it seems the safest place.

They really should do COTD here.

The front clip looks all right but there’s way too much bodywork over the rear wheels - the stock car’s character lines and windows kept that from looking too blobby on the standard car. This would’ve worked better had it been left alone.
