Those door handles were awesome until they froze and the cast aluminum broke. I had a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible. I still miss that car but I kept plenty of spare door handle assemblies on hand at all times.

I always did like those Regal coupes. Especially the GS trim at the end of the production run.

Big Bob sounds hot.

Jalopnik needs more of this and less of the Mean Girls snarky shit that gets passed off as content these days. Hats off to you, David Tracy!

Say what you will about HRC equality stickers but seeing them on cars in my teens really helped me feel like I wasn’t completely alone in the most conservative, religious, fucked up state in the nation.

It’s the modern day flask.

Psssht. That’s not a bug! Didn’t you read the manual? DUI Mode does for your insurance premiums what Insane Mode does to your acceleration.

I’d go back two decades to be safe. I was commuting home from my job (in Nashville, of all places) and stopped for gas when I heard this awful country song playing on the loudspeakers at the gas pump.

I think the only thing tired here is the use of drum brakes. They work fine but drums are no longer the standard in the class of vehicles.

You’re missing the point. It’s not that they aren’t functional, but that Toyota has grown complacent with their design. The Tacoma is the ONLY light truck on sale now that offers drum brakes. Even the HD trucks have moved onto discs.

...And now all Wranglers have discs.

$42k with rear drum brakes? Awesome.

I’m a big guy and my SAAB did the same thing. The part was flimsy (even for a SAAB) and I knew it would probably happen repeatedly.  It was covered once under warranty and and the next time SAAB told me to get fucked. Only a few weeks later GM told SAAB to get fucked and eventually after a few years of faithful SAAB…

That time my 2013 Dart GT instructed me to inflate my tires to zero psi. No thanks.

What a weak title. I would not have clicked on it other than to say there are a hundred other titles out there that are more descriptive and informative.
