Seeing the road drive by through the floorboard, the rusted side view mirrors hanging by the control cable, the water sloshing in the taillights, the stalling at stop signs...ah fond childhood memories of my parent’s Lebaron.

I’ve been looking for a late 70's LeBaron/Diplomat. I get more excited seeing that on the road than the Ford GT that’s in my neighborhood. They are virtually impossible to find, most returned to the earth as pure iron oxide around 1985.

*all cities.

Taxis are so old and terrible they have gone beyond anachronism to hipster.

Sucks for Austin though, particularly if you live there. I’m sure it won’t make a dent, but I was considering Austin for our company event this year, and if they don’t get this resolved it’s off the list. Not having Uber/Lyft is sort of a dealbreaker. Practically everybody who travels for business now uses Uber / Lyft…

Good idea! I’ll jump on my velocipede, pang wangle over to a payphone, insert my wooden nickel, and hail a taxi cab like the good old days.

Everybody knows Hitler drives 959's in Antarctica.

What do you call that effect when owning a cool car makes other people assholes? I used to drive 986 Boxster S and people would give me the finger for no reason. I mean, it’s a nice car, but it’s not like you have to be Rockefeller to drive one.

Is it me or does that thing look like a Ford Flex?

Funny, I thought you were talking about Drew’s article. “Fuckface this, fuckface that, shit fuck asshole turd boob”. I got through the first few sentences, and determined that Drew must have been a flunkie from YouTube Academy for Internet Commenting.

Time to walk in front of a bus, or develop a 5 pack a day smoking habit. Me sitting in heaven will be the most likely scenario where I could afford one.

I think the big thing everybody missed was mobile data. As a pure productivity machine for calendar, email, and calling, the iPhone was overkill and more of a toy. It wasn’t until 3G and with location services became widespread that the fundamental use of a mobile phone changed which required big screens. Apple was…

I’m no expert, but it seems like electric cars should be cheaper than petrol cars. If you look at the chassis of a Tesla, there’s nothing to it - no radiator, no differential, no oil or gas tank with associated plumbing, etc. Just electric motors at the wheels and batteries, surrounded then by all the standard stuff…

“We’re too scared.”

Yeah, I’m pretty sure my parents would be serving multiple life sentences considering how people view things now. I used to sleep in the boot of a convertible Buick (or whatever you call that area where the top goes down) on long trips. I opened the door of a Mark III while the car was turning and the door flung open…

I love it.

I love how the woman starts twerking in the middle of a freaking riot.

I used to work out in this gym. On Sports Arena drive in San Diego.

This smells contrived. These two bimbos probably knew Miata fans would make their Miata attack viral. They are simply millennial model-types searching for their internet 15 seconds of fame. The “thanks for the followers” comment sums up the whole thing.

Yep, that’s right. Protesters are fine and healthy. But many of those protesters are deliberately trying to incite violence and going over the line. The funny thing is, this is what happened in Weimar Germany. Nazis would attend Communist rallies to incite conflict. Both of those parties were horrible to the core.…
