I could watch these guys attend an insurance seminar.   

Yes. I don’t care if we just get to watch the 3 of them be terrible at using hotels properly - they are always entertaining.

Looks good? heh’ Got some blind guy telling me what “looks good”.

Here’s the Toyota Supra Face before you’re supposed to see it.

GM’s new styling plan: Release the ugliest version first so that the subsequent versions don’t look too bad.

Really, just removing the silly bar that creates the “truck stacked on top of a truck” appearance would help immensely. All I did here was simply move the hood down to where it would be on a “normal” truck.

Agreed, the Intrigue was a last gasp for Oldsmobile and a decently competitive product. You got a LOT for your money, too...Tons of clever little features included that you couldn’t get in the Japanese competitors, even if the Intrigue was less refined and not as fun to drive as some

I grew up swimming in the Detroit river, it’s how I maintain this healthy green glow! Also my great grandfather used to work those docks. I have a whole crazy family connection to the Fords as well. Someday I’ll tell y’all that wild story. 

He sure did, and the spot is still one of the most heavily industrialized (and polluted) parts of Detroit. Rouge Steel was part of his Rouge River complex, which wasn’t just the plant in Dearborn but a series of industrial spots along the Detroit river. The steel works were near Zug Island, which was originally a

Silver lining, David, he can tell cool stories to kids:

Its a symbiotic relationship, when it inevitably catches fire the head gaskets will blow and it will self-extinguish using coolant.

This story uncovers two things everyone already knows: NOTHING can stop a Toyota truck and nurses are bad-ass and save lives. Still, it’s cool as hell.
