Somehow people are under the misconception that a Stepford Wife is a bad thing.

Well, for one thing we elected a contemptuous piece of loathsome shit instead of the war hero. We deserve whatever we get after that, even if I don’t think McCain would have been a good President. He wouldn’t have been as destructive as Obama though.

“The series hopes to get started in 2017, with a seven-race season on purpose-built road courses throughout Europe, Asia and America.”

There are too many Democrats in your neighborhood for a convertible.

Is that sarcasm about the Lotus? You can get brand new one on ebay for less than $70K.

If hypocrisy hurt, Keith Olbermann would be dead.

One cab driver in Charlottesville murdered as many girls as there are alleged rapes by Uber drivers. You, sir, are an imbecile. Recommend your daughters don’t take Uber if it makes you uncomfortable in your deranged world of irrational fears.

Did you ever see a film called Terminator?

I tried to star this post, but there’s something odd going on with my account. It doesn’t act like my comments are posting, and my view jumps to the top of the page when I try to star a comment. I was surprised to see I had a post in this thread from last night, as I thought maybe my account was frozen.

Right now, I would buy the Miata just for the naturally aspirated engine. I do like the way the 124 looks in the old 124 Abarth rally colors, without the yellow trim that makes it look more like a Miata than a new Miata does.

Seriously. We’re supposed to have high property taxes where I am in Virginia at the moment. The house is taxed at $0.80 per $100.00

Yes. What the hell is the matter with the author? This is an intentionally ambiguous article created by choosing the least compelling evidence of the psychopath’s behavior. I wouldn’t trust the author to serve me food.

Scrap the Army and the Airforce. Grow the Marines and the Navy. More bang for the buck and less bureaucracy would save our capabilities and our budgets.

Carfolio say the 1948 Vanguard’s track was 50.5 inches. It’s a little wider than the Cadet, which also had small wheels and might not have had as much overhang. The Vanguard was 166 inches long, which is once again pretty small. A Honda HR-V is 169 inches long on a 102.8 inch wheelbase. A Civic is 182 inches long on a…

This sounds just like the readiness situation Reagan inherited from Carter.

The 1948 Standard Vanguard had a wheelbase of 94 inches while the Cadet had a wheelbase of 108 inches. To put that in perspective, a new Mini Cooper 2-door has a wheelbase of 98.2 inches. The Standard Vanguard was a good sized car in the UK, but it would have looked tine next to a Cadet. The 1948 Rover P3 had a 110…

This isn’t close to being one of the deadliest cars ever made. All Porsche 901-chassised coupes are fundamentally pretty strong cars. When they made a huge splash in road racing, fatality rates fell partially because they were so sound relative to what came before. Those cars could be considered deadly. You also make…

The pig probably came with the tattoo.

With a 108 inch wheelbase, I don’t consider this all that small a car. I suppose compared to a 116 inch wheelbase, 197 inch overall length 1947 Chevrolet it was small, but by world standards it would have been at least mid-sized. Plymouth Valiants’ wheelbases varied from 106 to 108 inches in the ‘60s, with the virst…

In the US, it was a solid rear axle mounted and sprung by leaf springs. Independent front suspension had been common for about a decade, and typically consisted of upper and lower A-arms with coil springs and tubular shocks. In Europe, IFS was often accomplished with a transverse leaf spring substituted for either the…
