It looks like Aston gave the car Tom Selleck’s mustache. Which you’d think Ferrari would’ve done already, but no.

Mayonnaise on burgers really is amazing. When it’s been on there juuuust long enough to warm up and melt juuuuust a bit.

Both Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were in a comparable number of films compared to Elvis Presley. Looking at Martin’s filmography it appears he was in several films a year for a while.  

I spent a lot of time there too, when I worked at 444 N. Michigan. The fastest way back to Ogilvie was to cut around Kinzie to Dearborn to Lake, by Marina Towers, then up to Canal. A bunch of my coworkers would go wait for the bus on Wacker and I’d usually beat them over there. When I didn’t end up at Mother Hubbard’s…

I don’t mind it. But I’ve also found that anytime I try and photograph Marina Towers it ends up looking like the cover.

Yeah - a couple of those just flattened out when they landed on the roof. I’m legitimately surprised a couple of those guys didn’t die.

That, the Beetle, and the Austin actually hurt a bit. Unless they’re entirely made up of Bondo under the paint all three of them would be worth saving instead of trashing.

the Comics Curmudgeon actually got me reading Heathcliff again.

Ritter doesn’t appear to have a neck in that poster.

Man, first he gets bumped from What’s Up With That, now he gets fired. Poor guy.

I imagine it’s almost exclusively sold in the States, judging from the retailers that typically carry the brand. Maybe some in Canada or Mexico, as those companies have some stores there as well. But I doubt much if any gets sold in, say, Europe.

I want to rescue that Trueno so bad.

I recall reading an article in Classic and Sports Car, where the writer had bought an already-built Pocher kit (an Alfa if memory serves, which it doesn’t always), for like a hundo, and he considered it a steal, since he had to take it apart and re-build it.

I always coveted the big Pocher kits back in the 80's and 90's when I was a kid. There was a model shop near here that would occasionally get one in stock. The prices then were laughably out of my price range as a twelve year old.

When I was a kid, back in the 80’s, I used to build model cars, mostly 1/24 or 25 scale (I did one or two Bburagos but they were expensive). I used to build classics and then add numbers and toolbars to them, but I also did a couple of dioramas (I built WW2 aircraft dioramas as well). Anyway, none survived except for…

Man, messed up a perfectly good ‘70 Eldo.

I have a lot of respect for Wayne Carini (he truly knows his stuff), but I can’t watch that show because it’s just sooooo boring. I mean, I’ll usually watch or read anything to do with cars but somehow I can’t get through an episode of that one (and to an extent Jay Leno’s show).

They need to call it one of two things:

Corvair

Aerovette

That is all.

I enjoyed the original run fine, but I hadn’t thought about or watched it since it went off the air. I watched the first episode of this season and it put me off so much that I didn’t try again until the Christmas episode - which I hated enough that I turned it off ten minutes in and never went back.

I will never get the appeal of the Greek system.
