Not gonna lie, I tipped the first two generations of CRX as worth watching twenty years ago, along with things like the AE86, RWD Celicas and Supras, first gen Eclipses and their cousins, and I don’t know what all else, and everybody justclaughed because they weren’t from manufacturers like Jaguar or BMW. But I’ve…

The CRX still stings a bit. Mine was rusting and beat up when I got rid of it, but not so far gone that it couldn’t be saved. Just didn’t have the space to store it, or the money to rent space. By the time I had money and space for a toy car they were thin on the ground and good ones were getting spendy. When did I…

Pickup trucks are second only to men in minivans when it comes to tailgating a sports car. If it’s the truck guy, its to show off that he’s the real man and not you. If its minivan guy, it’s because he’s pissed off that you’re driving around in a sports car and he’s hauling his kids (or is just stuck in his empty van…

I can see this logic with the following circumstances.

Power locks, yes (everything locks when you turn the key), but remotes, not so much. If keyless entry was offered it was an option or you needed the highest trim level. And, to be honest, outside of well cared for expensive cars that didn’t get driven much, every remote that old that I’ve encountered doesn’t work…

I said it so many times - Honda needed to have two models of CR-Z. One with the hybrid drivetrain and basic, comfort biased suspension tuning, and one with, say, the 2.0 making 150hp and a few added tweaks like bigger alloys and special shocks. Call the first one the “HF” and the second one the “Si”. Slam dunk.

Not much later than 1995 I would think. During the scene where they’re backing the locomotive over the turntable, there are numerous Chicago & North Western diesels in the background. UP and the CNW merged in ‘95, though obviously there were still unpatched CNW locos running around the system after that, this seems to…

Yeah, the vast majority of car buyers had no idea what an Alfa Romeo was (and probably still don’t since you never see them advertised). Hell, I drive a Miata and am always having to explain to people what it is, and that’s a car that has been in this market since 1989.

Why have I never thought to bring the brush inside (or at least have one in the house)? 

Or the guys from Pawn Stars. “Look, I like it personally, but I gotta pay you for it, then I gotta get it cleaned, then I gotta put it in a shadowbox, then it’s gonna sit here in my store taking up space I could use selling things that actually sell, and I know I will only get five dollars for it at best and someone…

I looked at the old photos of the van from the previous article and noticed that the jewelry making doodads are still full of beads. I kind of find that sad, like the owner just parked the damn thing almost immediately. 

More like took the piss out of the dumbfucks who whined about his hair.

See, if you had this service from various cities to the waterways connecting the Great Lakes, it’d be a pretty cool way to get from, say Chicago to Duluth, or Traverse City to Toronto, etc. Though I suppose that would be the equivalent of driving around on rural highways but having to slow down to 30 mph for a small…

Looking at it you’re spot on - it really does look like green screen. Or else they did a terrible job in post trying to fake some bokeh into the background. Because of course this administration can’t even get a decent videographer. 

Man, that’s nice. Those don’t even exist here anymore, they just dissolved after a few Chicago winters. 

Quick wash between runs. You’ll note they were at it a while in that pic, there’s quite a bit of snow stuck to the front axle. 

So, I don’t particularly like musicals, so I never really saw Cats or knew much about it. Turns out it’s not a bunch of cats singing about...what, the past? I dunno. Turns out it’s about a feline death cult trying to pick its next sacrifice- talk about burying the lede!

The difference in the pickups is the bed - as I recall one has a wider bed (maybe a flatbed but it’s been awhile since I studied Type 2s). As for the buses, the difference is seating - #3 is probably the Kombi (combined passenger/cargo, with just the one bench seat that’s easy to remove) and the other is the Bus or…

Isn’t a “Gabba Ghoul” what we call a Ramone now? 

It would depend entirely on the photograph being taken and the photographer. Take a look at the work of O. Winston Link. He was best known for night photography of the N&W railroad, using dozens of flash bulbs for lighting, and it would take hours of planning and setup to get everything ready. To the best of my…
