If “you can copy my homework, just change it a little” was a car

Turbo Buick’s 6 logo does it for me.

It’s the ‘70 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird’s “rudder” decal:

I know you all want some insight on which is the cheapest running car you could buy in Italy.

I would love to know how this idea was originally pitched.

Way back there was an article here on bollard testing. It was for government facilities against terrorism.

“I slowly feathered the brakes as I’m going to compensate for my balls dragging down the runway...”

Many great options already shared. If I had to pick one, not listed yet it would have to be the AMC Pacer.

The sales numbers of the Wrangler tell me it wasn’t/isn’t a flop.

Saturn was actually very successful at first and actually made GM some money by the mid 1990s.  But as is typical with GM, they didn’t stick with it and reverted back to their old ways and it killed the brand when they started selling rebadged versions of other GM vehicles.

It’s easy to dunk on cars from 40 years ago. Technology has moved forward enormously, and cars have changed since. As much as there were some terrible cars (or at least disappointing), there were also some interesting highlights too.

That fat dipshit totally ruined the pic of the sweet 80's cabover truck.

Hey now... I love my SRT 4. Had it for 13 years, absolutely no problems short of the annoying torque steer. I see over-hyped mustangs, camaros and chargers on every corner and hundreds of foreign brands. I’m not paying 45k for a car. I paid my 26k car off, have had no repair bills and still beat out stock cars at…

The engineer calmly called up the shock dyno data for a BMW and explained that they have a lot of existing relationships with suppliers, etc. Webster wrote…

The post made literally the exact same point.

Actually I’m well over my quota for the week, but I figured this would be a fun little post for the weekend. Sorry you had to suffer through it.
