Growing up, my neighbor had one. ND for free. Part of it was the car that was the most generic of the 80s Generic Ford campaign and proof that Ford was still behind when it came to “Qulity is Job #1" (actual spelling from the front page of the owners manual. Another was the type of owner this thing attracted. My…

“Do you want to be a free man,” Clapton sings. “Or do you want to be a slave?”

Clapton would never let a bag of blow fall out a window?

I’ve always liked the RAR response to Clapton’s racist rant:

In the show, the stripe was orange in the sunlight.  Not that orange, but a deep orange that went red in the shadows.  Maybe this one is faded a little bit.  Or maybe TVs back then were bad at showing colors.  Or maybe it is just wrong, but it is officially recognized.  Not sure that means anything.

The side really didn’t look great, the whole door deformed away from the unibody by quite a bit, a lot of energy looked imparted to the dummy if you watch the “through the windshield” shot. I think with the front it was more about energy dissipation, sure there’s a little crumple zone then it kind of hits a brick wall…

I’ve had a couple of Volvos that had the OEM plastic-fantastic headlights so fogged over that a couple of good flashlights would have been a major improvement in light output. How they never had to do a recall for those pieces of crap is beyond me. Thankfully, decent aftermarket headlights are <$100 each for them.

Had a 1960s Rolls-Royce brought in by one of the local limo services for a lube service a year or two ago. As part of every service, we do a visual “courtesy inspection” of systems on the car.* And on this car, the tail and brake lights didn’t work. All the front lights worked, and the tag and reverse lights worked…

My friend’s grandfather was an early NASCAR driver by the name of Gober Sosebee. One of my favorite stories, cut from the link below:

Yup. Personally I’m not above hypocracy either....
