It's not merely "great," it's "crap-tacular"!

The owner of a salvage yard near my home spent decades collecting the "interesting" cars on his farm, separate from the salvage yard. He never touched any of them and refused to sell a single one. By the time he passed away, most of them were too far gone to move, let alone restore. Hundreds of cars from the 1940s

Ever see the interiors of the production cars Pontiac was offering in those days? They had 12 buttons in the steering wheel hub.

Don’t condemn all of us just because Junior doesn’t know how to handle his car.

I think the "less than one percent" figure you quote is for true open-top cars, not convertibles. Open-top cars had flimsy tops that required assembly and side windows that consisted of snap-in vinyl curtains. True convertibles, with folding tops and roll-up windows, replaced open-top cars in the 20s and 30s, and, I

Why not slap a VW badge on this, federalize it, and sell it in the US? Sure would be a lot more interesting than the rebadged Toyotas they've been attempting to sell here.

Prediction: Shortly after Model 3 production ramps up, we will start hearing about long wait times at supercharger stations.

Looks like somebody was building a model car and forgot to punch out the hole for the grille.

I love my Mustangs, but I have never wasted precious days of my life waiting in line for any material object, and I can’t imagine ever doing so. And I never pay over sticker. I wait for one of two things: 1) for the supply to build up, or 2 ) for the idiots who pay over sticker to move on to the next "gotta have it"

Probably the most successful marriage of "traditional" Lincoln styling cues with modern design (modern for 1984, that is).

His response: "Get smaller hands."

My nephew is a service advisor for a local Honda dealer. I was in the process of changing the headlight bulb on my Accord, when I gave up and texted him, "Is there a trick to changing the headlight bulb?"

Right. Technically a “Classic” is a car recognized as such by the Classic Car Club of America, but the term has been bastardized much like Xerox or Kleenex.

Lipstick on a pig.

Thank you for subtly calling out the use of the word "rims" to denote tacky, oversized wheels. I once unsuccessfully tried to explain to a ghetto-fabulous friend that every car has rims, but I would have had more luck asking him to pull his pants up.

Hymenopteric design

There could be mechanical damage - engine block or transmission cracked at the mounting point, etc.

Don't care how good it is, there is no way I would allow myself to be seen in the rolling tampon bag that is the Fiat 500 Abarth. And this is coming from a gay man.

NEVER choose choice #2 at WalMart. On second thought, just don’t take a nice car to WalMart, because that’s where you’re going to find the asshats who park as close as they can to nice cars.
