I thought the episode Believe in the Stars with Tracy in whiteface and Jenna in blackface to prove to the other who had it worse was effective in what it was trying to accomplish. Is all blackface wrong even when it is used to show racial inequities? I could see why people could find the Jon Hamm skit racist but I

Front wheel drive.

Didn’t know that. How common a problem is it? Just checked the build sheet on mine and it was replaced before I bought it. Didn’t have any issues on my other two.

The Soul is always a good answer. Tons of them out there and can be found for very cheap. Friend bought a new (2016 I think) Soul with a manual transmission for $13k and still loves it.

Volvo 7xx and 9xx’s are surprisingly good city cars for a reason that is overlooked, the turning radius! It almost seems like the front wheels get perpendicular to the rest of the car.  Not to mention the real bumpers that will come in handy for others that sometimes park by feel.  

Glad they sold somewhere.  I’ve only seen one in the wild. 

You don’t know what my assertion that GM will fuck something up is based on?  Really? 

I’ve never met a Bolt owner.

They’ll find a way to fuck it up if they do.

A small SUV and delivery van with that drivetrain and they would have killed it.

I recreated this in my Datsun 280zx when I was 16 after I read about it in C&D. Removed one of the hood vents, mounted the camera in its place and dropped a mic into the engine bay. Almost killed myself several times, burned out my clutch and the VCR ate the tape after I watched it once. Stupid.

Only crazy people run for office.

So gross. Chris not quarantining himself while infected is also disgusting. I also have a hard time celebrating the governor of the state with the most coronavirus deaths. Not to mention Andrew’s shady agreement with FNMA practically mandating the use of AMCs which enriched his buddies. Dude is a POS.

How does Russia fuck up a hydroelectric plant so much that it spews toxins?  Isn’t that pretty much the opposite of what its supposed to do?

Rented a Korando in Costa Rica for a week or so and it was mostly fine. Felt like something that was a generation or two behind most manufacturers but acceptable. It was a manual and the only complaint I had was that the gear ratios were too far apart and the engine was pretty gutless down low.  Looked OK too, nothing

Need to go to CA when I buy one of these. In these parts trucks like this would be rusty and $2500-$3000. In this condition (not rusty) someone would probably be asking $4000-$4500.

The STS-V was glorious in a straight line. Borrowed my friend’s for a rally many years ago and beat so many Ferraris that day they stopped trying. Rare car too so most people didn’t know what it was. Only car I couldn’t keep up with (at all) was real Cobra with a very good driver and nothing was touching that.

For real, only way the 280 was hitting 60 in six seconds is if I drove it off a cliff.

Was stupid at the time, not recommended:
