As late as 2009... “a warming of even 3 [degrees] C in the next 100 years would, on balance, be beneficial to humans because the reduction of wintertime mortality/morbidity would be several times larger than the increase in summertime heat stress-related mortality/morbidity.”

I remember my father blowing through a three-way stop sign on the outskirts of a small town on the way back to our house. There happened to be a sheriff patrol car sitting at the intersection, waiting for someone to do exactly that. They pull out, follow us for a few seconds, then turn on the lights. Since it was…

I had one of these as my first vehicle (1996 version). I constantly had problems with the cooling system. And, my god, the horrible plasticky interior — in blue! — was as terrible as you can imagine.

Is anyone else frightened by the steering wheel / instrument cluster face? Looks like it’s about to murder you and wear your skin.

The fit and finish leave something to be desired...

Not a barn find, per se, but my friends and I found an old C/K Blazer in the woods with drug paraphernalia in it (I seem to recall test tubes, so... meth?). There were no nearby roads and it looked like it had been sitting there for some time, but it did disappear pretty quickly after we found it.

I can pinpoint the origin of my trypophobia.  Anyone else grow up with the nature special on PBS of the frog giving birth out of its back?

How soon until these credit cards are banned from airplanes?

There’s a person in my neighborhood daily-driving a manual W8 wagon. It’s like seeing a unicorn, but knowing that someday that unicorn will spontaneously explode into millions of pieces and ruin your childhood.

I remember my parents buying some tires with this technology back in the late-90s. There was an issue with the “goop” inside settling at the bottom of the tire if they stood in a single position for too long. I suppose the tech has improved since then?

Gillette.

The negative complaints would be compliments.

Will all of you at GMG quit using “as hell”? Seriously, look how many times it’s used in headlines alone. I take no offense to the phrase; it’s just so overused on these sites.

2003 was not a good year. Three accidents, but only one was my fault: my first.

You’re very welcome.

The grille looks like a tooth.

I can’t tell if the car has a goatee, or if it’s saying, “Cooooo,” like a jazz man would.

“I’ll never use algebra, so why do I need to take it?”

Does anyone else think the grille looks like a tooth? It’s more apparent in the standard version (chrome grille). And then the headlights make it look like a tooth with arms flexing down (a la Mr. Universe competitions) - straight outta the dentist office.

Quite a bit of the reason few teens have the vaccine is the misinformation widely available on Facebook, et al. “It’ll give you all kinds of health problems, and Gardasil is made by big pharma. Here are some herbal replacements instead! Also, buy my book, ‘The Lies Big Pharma Sells You’. Here’s a link to my e-shop,…
