Hey now, I bought one in May and it’s a stick. I tried, dammit.

Imagine if she really liked red paint.

1) “....whatever plastic-and-vinyl garbage GM had vomited out that day....” - Why the past tense, GM is still vomiting out crap in 2019.

Neutral: I recently bought an Alfa Romeo GTV6. I have yet to use the stereo.

I can vouch for this comprehensive list and its ranking. I grew up in Lansing Michigan with an Oldsmobile plant down the street. And even there most of the Viets were riding in Accords and Camrys.  

I keep forgetting to grab a picture, but around 7th St and 5th Ave in Park Slope, someone street parks a Rolls-Royce. It is an older model (~90s is my guess), but still is a Rolls-Royce.

A few years ago at the California State Fair CalTrans brought their 18-wheeler driving simulator for all to try. Even in that artificial environment you realize the massiveness and challenges of driving one. I gained a new appreciation for big rig drivers.

It will do battle with this:

Counterpoint: The Karlmann King appears to be the absolute finest movie car for the antagonist in a near-future dystopian setting I’ve ever seen.

If you have been around cars for any length of time, and don’t have a love/hate relationship with them, I’m not sure you can really claim any Jalop heritage.

Of course he did! They send a very direct message:  

It looks better in-person. I saw this black one a while back and thought it looked pretty good with the red interior.

I’m not defending Buick and their blandness (sweet new wagon aside), but the point of the “that’s a Buick?” is that Buicks are no longer the big ugly old person’s car and/or shameless badge engineered Chevy. They’re now actually sort of handsome, and if you were expecting a Buick to look like a LeSabre or Lacrosse or…

Kudos to whomever put 150k miles on that Z8!

I’ve been on track with this very car at englishtown’s raceway park road course. It was fastish (as fast as any evo really), but it smoked heavily and the driver drove it like an asshole (off course and kicking dirt on the track constantly, passing in non-passing zones etc). He was the main reason I stopped going to…

Thanks for noting that this was a Northwest Arkansas dealership. You don’t want to besmirch the good name of Northeast, Southwest, Southeast, and Central Arkansas dealerships.

Picked up an ultra rare stanza hatchback as a Christmas gift to me! 58k miles! Headed back home to Austin Texas!

The whole point, though, is that he was completely ignorant of what he already had in his life. Sure, there was a lot that sucked, but also plenty that didn’t.

Repo man was told by a local bank to go and repossess my sister’s red Subaru Outback wagon. She and her husband also owned a red Subaru Loyale wagon (an older model than the Outback).

I know this wasn’t in the US, but it sounds like collection agencies there are similar to here. Which is to say: Shady as fuck and not interested in facts.
