Malibu vs Bel Air.....

If I remember correctly, in that video the steering column shot up in a way that would have impaled the driver’s head too.

My sister is a paramedic and while sometimes being ejected from a rollover accident can save you, usually you get ejected and then the car rolls over you and they have to use a shovel to scoop your remains off the pavement. 

Same, at -25F outside, its awfully nice to at least have a little heat in there before jumping in and driving.

Yeah, I think that unless its extremely cold outside, you don’t need more than like 20-30 seconds to warm it up.

That happens here in Minnesota the first few snowfalls every winter. I’ll be driving down the freeway in almost blinding snow, going maybe 30-40 and looking for the next exit when someone in a huge brodozer with mud tires goes flying past at 80 and completely spins out at the next curve and ends up in the ditch.

I had a 93 escort wagon, and that thing ran great until 2006 when it ended up being so rusty underneath that my mechanic told me he wasn’t going to work on it anymore, so I scrapped it and traded it for a 95 Econoline 150. Kind of went from one end of the spectrum to the other.

If its aluminum DO NOT PUT IN THE DISHWASHER. I had a Bialetti I did that with and it ruined whatever finish was on it so then there was always a film of aluminum oxide on the outside, which I’m sure is not good to ingest.

If its aluminum DO NOT PUT IN THE DISHWASHER. I had a Bialetti I did that with and it ruined whatever finish was on…

Yeah, you put those both together and it starts to look real bad.

Its true, but it also has decent (for its class) towing capacity, which none of the others do. I think that’s a big part of the appeal.

I like a beer on my flight, but usually just one.

I see this ALL THE DAMN TIME in every kind of show. I like to nerd out and watch random documentary series sometimes, and I was watching this one about moving big huge things (think oil rigs, offshore wind turbines, huge utility grade generator parts, etc), and every single one of those shows, they discuss the worst…

Aren’t most cars kind of vanity items though? I mean if they weren’t, it would just be a box with wheels on it and a couple of plastic chairs.

Right? there’s a lot of people here who are like “Well I want my truck to be stripped down with a 5 gallon bucket for a seat and a harmonica instead of a stereo, because its only for hauling stuff”. I mean if that’s what you want, more power to ya, I guess, I like the Maverick.

What gets me is that they think anyone would get waffle house to go....like how could anyone thing that was a reasonable excuse in the first place? 

For the longest time I thought that we shouldn’t say these kind of things, but now that they’re actively trying to kill themselves off, I say let ‘em.

I gotta say, that in my neighborhood (very diverse, lots of people from africa, latinos, etc), its mostly the trashy seeming white people I see without masks. We weren’t under a mandate here, but the city has asked people to wear masks indoors, and it seems like most people are smart enough to go along with it.
I do…

Wisconsin? You talking about FIBs? We get those here in MN too.

I rented one of those once because I thought it was cute, but damn, what a terrible car! You better turn off the AC if you want to merge onto the freeway and not feel like you’re going to die in a rear end collision.

I agree about Texas being that way with the left lane morons, but when you get to florida, people drive at any speed in any lane, all the time. Also, if you’re doing less than 85 on the freeway, you feel like you’re putting yourself and everyone else at risk by driving too slow.
