A Wendax. I just read Jonee’s article about the Wendax, and it sounds like it was basically an unreliable deathtrap that was nearly impossible to drive in any conditions, couldn’t stay in gear, and would fall apart because of regular use.

A few days ago, I woke up with a glorious image in my head: A 1976 Honda Civic body on a slightly modified lifted Geo Tracker frame with an LS v8. Painted brown. With a white vinyl roof. (was that even an option on old civics?) My question is, is this spontaneously generated vehicle idea from my actual dreams a good…

No. Do it.

There were a ton of great rock songs about cars written in the ‘60s. I don’t know if you’d be into that kind of music, but it’s worth a listen to find out.

What is your favorite obscure automotive tool? My favorite is a special rare tool used exclusively for removing the lenses on the telltale turn signals of 1965-66 Ford Thunderbirds. I know about this tool because my right telltale indicator burned out and you can only remove the lens and change the bulb if you have…

Dang... I knew about the van version of this, but I’ve never heard of a people-carrier version. That thing is cool! It’s basically an early minivan but with less cargo area. I want one now.

How fast can it go backwards? How much banana pudding can you stuff in the glovebox? If I wish to wear a fancy hat in it, what is the maximum height that the hat can be without hitting the roof? Will it baby? If it fell in a forest and no one was around to hear it, would it make a sound? These are important questions…

If Tesla wants to keep the autopilot system, I think they should at least implement some sort of licensing system so you can’t use it unless you pass a test that proves you know exactly what it is and what it is capable of and what it can and can’t do. If you don’t pass the test, you don’t get the autopilot license…

Absence of jump seats is not a weakness Volvo knows better than you puny mortal Volvo makes no mistakes Volvo is the superior brand in every way Volvo should be allowed to rule the world you love Volvo you want to buy Volvos you can trust Volvo you must gaze upon our swinging pocket watch you are getting very sleepy…

A special edition that’s actually interesting.

You’re wrong. The Honda Ridgeline is cool. It has interesting styling and no matter what the truck bros say, Honda managed to make a unibody truck that is actually good. Also, the fact that it works that well after all those years makes it cooler. If your truck bro friends don’t understand why your Ridgeline is cool,…

Thankfully, my car was built in the 1960s so it was designed in such a way that it looks just fine with a front license plate, but my heart goes out to those who must suffer the indignity of putting a front plate on cars that really shouldn’t have front plates.

How ‘bout lab-grown mammoth leather? Scientists have been growing human ears and stuff in labs for a while now and intact mammoth DNA still exists, so why not make some lab-grown mammoth leather?

This is exactly the response I was hoping for :)

Are you gonna take me home tonight? Ohhh, down beside that red taillight. Are you gonna let it all hang out? Fat-bottomed Aston Martin, you make the rockin’ world go ‘round.

Those proportions are just plain odd. For the most part, I think the styling looks really good, especially around the back, but why why why oh why did they put the rear wheels so far forward? It would have looked so much better if they moved the rear wheels maybe a foot or two further back. Come on, Aston Martin. It’s…

It’s okay to have unusual tastes in cars. Go ahead and hot rod a ‘78 LeSabre. If you ask me, there’s nothing more sad than deciding not to build a car you want to build just because you’re afraid other people won’t like it. Everyone has different tastes, and that’s fine. If you build a ‘78 LeSabre hot rod, you’re…

I was very disappointed when I realized that that image was photoshopped and that the real Alpha Romeo Tamale won’t look like that.

I thought your opinions of mayo were weird, but then I remembered my hatred for the texture of cornmeal and now I sympathize with you. No one understands why I hate the texture of cornmeal, and whenever I refuse to eat something with a cornmealish texture, people look at me like I have a third eye and say “The food is…
