When I was about 10, my father bought a Scout Pickup as a winter beater and camping vehicle for the two of us. It needed work, so it was also a father/son project that we made run reliably.

Nothing too crazy but 240Z have a box shaped structure in the dogleg area. They often rust from the inside due to no drainage. Spots like that and little areas all over.

And shortly after, upside down cars like they have in Australia.

Next pic will be gridlock traffic in Milwaukee. 

Pretty sure it was after.

That’s not just a red stapler. It’s a SWINGLINE!

Never forget the concept that came first. The Pontiac Rageous concept was what we deserved.

The best Cars & Coffee mobile:

to his credit he justified all three of those cars with bullet points on why he liked them. i can’t fault his enthusiasm. it’s just such a strong combination of hated cars! i wondered whether he was partway through his doppelgänger plotline, and the real guy was lost in the black lodge shouting NO GODDAMNIT I LIKE…

Oh my.

the thought of anyone lovingly washing and waxing a ‘garage-kept’, ‘never saw rain’ accord crosstour like a priceless ferrari, well, i’ll be honest. it sort of disgusts me.

The guy might well be an enthusiast. Sure, those aren’t “good” cars, but they are all weird and different from your average boring car. A lot of enthusiasts appreciate cars that are for one reason or another objectively “bad” just because they did something notable or different whether it is styling or features or…

I feel like the Honda Element took this concept and got it right. The Element had a lot of the same functionality and features (right down to the removable center console cooler) but in a less alien-looking package. It was still weird, but weird in a way where you could look at it and it would make sense.

this is barely related. but you reminded me, so:

I'm sorry I forgot to clarify: it was on VHS. 

*This is a heavy story, it might need a trigger warning*

So many stories...so little time. Here’s the top two I can think of.

It’s a tie between someone using a neti pot in the kitchen sink and what happened moments ago when some lady washed her hands BEFORE she used the restroom then just left the stall and went back to her desk. WHAT THE FUCK? 

My very first job at a restaurant, a generally perceived very nice Italian place right out of a movie.. Anyways, one night as a staff meal the Chef made a couple of huge pizza’s in sheet pans and just left them at the pass for us to grab a square when we could.
