Isn’t there some legend of an ancient Chinese “fire carriage” that moved under its own power, powered by gunpowder or fireworks or something like that?

I... Like it too? And hate it. I love and hate this car. The bodywork is somehow hideously ugly in a good way. An animal-like, tough, crazy, monstrous, Mad-Maxy way. The only part of it I really hate is the paint. Mold is not a good look on any car. I say spray-paint it matte black, put some proper safari tires on it,…

Confession time... When I can’t sleep, I watch “Jordan Reacts” videos.

Where to start...

I vote that we call the impossible mammoth burgers “Big Mams”.

Stop it, my mouth is watering.

Wait, those ads... You can buy a tuk tuk for $970!? And there’s an electric one for $700! Someone restrain my wallet.

So... I’m a fun but rusty Swedish roadster with a front-mid mounted flat 12 and RWD?

My suggestion is a fourth-gen (1964-66) Thunderbird. They are fantastic examples of classic American luxury cars. A couple years ago, I bought one as my first car and daily drove it for two years, so I can say sorta confidently that I believe they are up to the task. They make great cruisers, they are plenty reliable…

WANT.

Mine is pretty simple. I was vacationing near a fancy condo(?) building by a lake, and where we were staying we were allowed to swim in the pool near the building. On the way to the pool, we walked through the fancy condo(?) building’s parking lot, and as we got closer to the pool I saw a familiar shape peeking out…

“How does the package get to your front door?”

That’s how I feel about all those “top ten cheapest classic muscle cars” lists. Because hooray, now everyone knows about them and wants them so now they’re not cheap anymore. 

It’s okay. Everyone pronounces it wrong. It’s Lee-goo.

Not gonna lie, I kinda love this for reasons I don’t understand!

Do these count?

No! You were my favorite writer. The first Takeout article I remember reading was an article you wrote about Subway where I shared my story of the time I got a sub there that contained no meat, only cartilage. I liked your writing, and that’s why I started reading this site. Good luck with whatever you end up doing…

Ugh. I was (or thought I was) gluten intolerant for many years. It sucked. Why did so many people think I was allergic to potatoes? Why was everything so freaking expensive? It’s not like it was made of diamond! And of course, as soon as I discovered that I’m not gluten intolerant anymore (or perhaps never was),…

The holy grail of automotive bad ideas, the rear-engine front wheel drive layout, was used in at least one serious attempt to make a good race car. It was a classic Mini Cooper with a Buick 215 V8 mounted in the back. They wanted to do the classic trick of sticking a powerful American V8 in a lightweight,…

I’m hoping they’ll just re-release it with different enough bodywork to not cause problems, and then everything will be fine and dandy.
