Now that's nightmare fuel.

I think the word you're looking for is 'troup'.

From the article: “The most thing about the Catera is probably the way it was marketed.”

Brace yourself; I’ve got a couple of stories here. The first one is definitely my favorite though.

Is that O.J. Simpson or just a lookalike in the Ford Thunderbird ad?

Eh, its probably illegal to do that in the nanny state of Australia anyway...

The cancerous kidney grille has metastatized throughout the body!

That looks like Chevy’s version of a BMW 2002.

Seeing crashes like that is enough to put the fear of God in you as a rider.

My thought process went like this: Well I’m sure glad I was born in ‘87. Wait, my birth month is January and day is the fourth... Damn! I’m still caught up with this.

At least my birth date is not 1-4-88... and I prefer ISO date format anyway (YYYY-MM-DD).

On the other hand, they don't turn into cold forging molds for your face and chest in a crash anymore, either.

Those are disturbingly thin arms though.

Lansing today is far from the sad place it was in the ‘90s and early 2000s, thanks to relative diversity in the economy. I say this as a Lansing native living nearby now.

Wait... When was it ever ok to trust someone in an El Camino?

My take is that it probably would have folded in if it had.

Mine isn’t particularly exciting, but in June 2011 I rented a manual diesel hatchback Focus in Edinburgh and immediately got thrown into the right hand drive/left hand traffic bath in Edinburgh traffic for my first time driving in a foreign country (I was studying in Sweden at the time).

I probably would have died if…

I agree with that assessment. I don’t think anything but the tires and wheels touched the ground. No door contact.

OH GOD NOT THE BEES

Possibly because reverse gear is often the same low ratio as first gear (or lower than second anyway), which is ideal for minimizing the chance of the car overcoming the engine’s friction and rolling in gear.

But does it punch your taint all the time, like the Ducati Taint Puncher 900?
