Or you should get all the tats.

It’s spelled “Tanoak” but it’s pronounced “Check Engine Light”.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people will say that the Cavalier was just the bestest car ever. People out in meatspace will tell me this. They were just garbage, from the beginning. My folks had one - an ‘85 or so, wagon, the “square ones” that a lot of people say were better than the “round ones” because they…

So I used to daily a ‘96 Miata, for about sixteen years. I was 24 or 5 when I bought it - I forget what I was paying in insurance on it but it was a not unreasonable amount. I never lowered coverage on it despite the fact that it was a complete pile by the time I got rid of it and replaced it with a then year-old NC…

Aerodynamics, most likely, followed by weight.

I always liked any episode that featured The Mayor. My favorite was probably the one where the city was going broke, and he tried to ask his dad (played by Michael Nesmith, if memory serves), who denies the loan but buys the city for himself anyway.

TIL people actually cared about Tucker Max.

The story of Subaru of America’s founding is interesting too - there’s a good write up of it in a book about the Yugo (I forget the exact title but I’m sure it’s the only one).

If you don’t then I’ll join you, since I walked out of the first one half way through, I hated it so much.

They talked about this on the Current this morning, and played a few tracks from the new inductees. Made for some interesting transitions:

“If I didn’t Care” by the Ink Spots
“Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac (a car shaped like a hamburger or a hamburger shaped like a car?) (also I hate Fleetwood Mac, and Rumours in…

IIRC (from a distant reading of his book) Nick Offerman used to do this when he needed to travel someplace during or after college. Like, I’d have totally done that the summer after graduation, just to take a trip out to California or something.

Is that a LeMons sticker on the back? If so it’s undervalued since it’s a vintage Porsche with competition history.

I love AMC’s in general. Like, I go the lawn chair show and shine, and annoy all the old farts sitting in front of their (one of several) Fordrolet Corvastang and home in on the lone AMX or Javelin or even Ambassador.

But, I’ve always liked underdogs and oddballs (should really be the title of my memoirs).

Interesting- I thought this would be a modified JK or something, like the Chief Of a few years back.

One of the characters in the Dortmunder books by Donald E. Westlake does this - his standard order at the bar is a single glass of beer and a salt shaker. He does it because he’s the driver, and only has the one drink so he nurses it. But he likes a beer with a head on it, which the salt provides.

I’ve always heard that Moxie is just awful, which makes me want to try it even more. Plus I kind of want the bottle cap for my bottle cap map.

Rural Wisconsin? Then it makes sense - farmers will keep anything around till it falls in on itself, then use it a little more before parking it behind the barn.

Now, I live in the Chicago area, so weather is the same here, and I would wager we use way more salt in the winter - and late 80's and early 90's cars pretty…

Part of me thought that was the joke - out of all the card based games they could’ve played for girls night, they chose fucking Uno.

And it was kind of shoehorned into the sketch - who does screen tests for soundtrack songs? - so that he could get a minute of screen time doing something other than popping up and saying “Boobs!” Or being the guy at the checkout who leaves just before the action starts.

How good would the “hot girl screwing an old man” but he if the old man had been Herb Welch?
