I bought a Mercury Grand Marquis last summer. I wanted to own one of these old rear-drive live axle boats before they were all extinct. I found a low-mileage grandma car. Powder blue; slight scuffs on the bumper corners from park-by-feel; a well-maintained relic that should be fun for the nostalgia while providing

Don’t be a killjoy.  It has to do with transportation and it’s neat.

Ford’s philosophy gets it. Ford’s execution does NOT.

Support his policies? Maybe.

What a pile of garbage this guy is and has always been.  I know I’m not the first to say it, but how anyone can still be planning on voting for this fucking piece of shit mystifies me.  

I knew it was an Impala. Not bragging.

I have always loved these. There is no logic involved.

I always liked these despite being more of a Camaro guy (that old petty “I’d rather push a Chevy than drive a Ford” trope). In fact, I like Mustangs in general (except when one is leaving a car show). This one has enough curb panache that, if I went to go look at it and I had $10,000 in my pocket, I might get

I need tRump to go away, if for no other reason, because I can’t bear the thought of having to listen to that insane blithering coming out of that cat’s-asshole mouth for another four years.

The Miura is the only car that is so beautiful it makes me cry.  Not art, my ass.

Good.  Fuck these fucks, and fuck Donald Trump. 

Over and over again, the GOP is allowed to continually lower the bar for what would be considered reasonable behavior for someone elected to higher office. That we as a nation are seemingly about to re-elect an adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, habitual liar and incompetent businessman whose violent rhetoric and

My 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis. It’s the last of the true land barges and rides like one. All cush; you don’t really steer it as much as suggest; ice-cold A/C, power everything and a decent-enough stereo.  Add to that such modern conveniences as fuel-injection and a remote starter.  It’s even got a super-tall rear end

Oh man, one of these, please.

The Spirit of America Bicentennial editions of Chevrolet for 1976. Specifically the land-yacht version.

I came here to say exactly this.  

Anytime I see a manual transmission where one isn’t usually found (crossover SUV) it’s automatically a slam dunk, high mileage be damned.  Nice Price all day. 

2008 Mercury Grand Marquis. I wanted to buy another Toyota Avalon to replace my 2000, but last summer used car prices were bonkers and I didn’t have Toyota money; I had Mercury (or Buick) money.

Meh.  Gimme a 740 Turbo wagon with a 5 speed and RWD and you’ll have my attention.  

A number of acquaintances have had Volvos from similar years—one had a V60, one had an XC70, and one had a C70—and every one was an expensive  nightmare to keep running. Ridiculously unreliable, which I thought was a shame since Volvos from the 60's through the 90's were such tanks. All those experiences have scared
