I wonder if it’s also because Wranglers are absolutely everywhere. Like, if I’m going to build an off road rig I’m probably going to get a Jeep Wrangler because I can go to almost any dealership in town and buy one (except maybe right now in the current car market).

Honestly, I think that’s how a Swede would say “welp”.

Valp, I guess ve haf to get tem towt out of te ditch.

I can’t include Ross & Rachel simply because Ross was such an asshole about everything. I’m not just talking about his frequent “We were on a BREAK!” bullshit, he was just a jerk about everything in his life - about Carol leaving him for Susan, about not having custody of Ben, he harasses Emily’s family when she…

Wasn’t that a character in the Hitchhiker’s Guide? 

That’s the one I want to get! I recently took up model cars again (I mostly completed a model railroad, time to build something else!), and want to do a series of 50s-early 70s sports cars, painted into early SCCA style racing cars. I used to do this to all my model cars when I was a kid - paint numbers on the sides,…

It is perfect. I’m planning a scale model build of a gullwing SL, and this might end up being the color I use. 

I think it’s the quarter panels cut out of the fenders, with sheet metal tops. The accent line across the lower doors is continued in the flares. That’s probably how it woudl look if I did this, my metalworking skills aren’t top notch either.

TBH this site (as well as AV Club, etc.) load so goddamned slowly that whenever they’re photo heavy like this one it takes ages to scroll through the whole thing. I’d have preferred a slideshow, those always work.

If I place a preorder now, will you autograph/smudge a little motor oil on it?

I feel like this was brought up specifically because it’s unusual. It’s not like he was spotted at the nearest Whataburger then all of a sudden fifteen minutes away in the opposite direction - he went that way from the outset, and it seems pretty quickly to boot. (It takes me about fifteen minutes to drive to work,…

Isn’t it in Kelvin’s house? ISTR that there were a bunch of video game cabinets there. 

I forget if it’s been stated that BJ was adopted - in which case I imagine that Billy would recognize his mom at the baptism prom.

The fob for my Mazda is huge compared to a standard car key. It’s a big square thing that can’t sit on my key ring so I have to keep it separate from the rest of them. I rarely if ever misplace my keys, but I’m always needing to go back and get the (now separated) car key. I kind of hate it, especially since I rarely…

I liked push button start when it was a novelty, say on the Honda S2000. Now it’s everywhere, and since I still daily cars with keys, I’m always a little flummoxed by them.

When I was still shopping Wranglers, I thought that the Sport S (the second lowest tier) was the sweet spot. You got A/C and usually alloy wheels. I felt it was the best for everyday use, so you could daily it and have some fun on the trails, and it wasn’t so expensive that if you wanted to upgrade it you weren’t…

There’s a Toyota dealer in my area whos lot looks exactly like the Honda store in the header image. Its not a huge store and was never super packed but now they have like six cars on the lot at any given time, and I swear I never see anyone in the showroom either. They did have a really nice looking yellow Supra on…

I feel like it’s the ones listed Schwinn’s website that are the better ones (and they’re priced accordingly). I think they used to call it “Schwinn Premiere” or something. I don’t know that they sell them in any stores, just online.

I hate that - I will get customers waving a Wal Mart ad at me saying “This is only $40 at Wal Mart, do you price match” and I always tell them it’s not the same item, it will be a different model number and SKU. And when I prove to them they’re different items, they always say it’s a technicality and I should give…

It’s exactly how so many “regular” cars get saved. Someone finds one and just grabs it because it’s interesting (or more interesting than a current car) and the price is right. I found a Chevy Caprice station wagon of about the same era as that LTD at a car show a few years ago. It was for sale, super low miles, and…

I don’t know how they work in your state, but in Illinois antique vehicle plates come with a mileage and use restriction. The standard ones, which are valid for several years, restrict use to travel to and from car shows and service stations, and that’s it. There’s an “expanded use” version that’s annual, but has the…
