I could even enjoy this pink and black combo if it were on the tile of a ‘50s-built bathroom.

Like I said, I’ve looked into it. The cost isn’t the problem. The mileage restrictions are the problem. My car is my daily.

Rotaries are interesting, I guess, but I don’t really like them much. I don’t have a lot of use for an engine that chugs gas like a 454 and makes torque like a weedwhacker.

I bet Dick Trickle would’ve driven a pink racecar.

Ugh. I’m not generally against LS swaps, but I really don’t like this. The inline-six (or V12) is at least half of the reason I’d want an old Jag in the first place.

That’s your choice. You still have absolutely no business telling anyone else it should be their choice as well.

A sample of one person does not make a statistically significant study.

I type “gearbox” instead of “transmission” because it’s a shorter word. In speech, I’m more likely to say “transmission.”

There is no safe part of any town.

Nope. Even the so-called nice parts of town aren’t safe. Suburban teenagers suck.

I’m 41, and my Integra was constantly vandalized, had parts stolen from it, and the car was stolen and destroyed by thieves. And it wasn’t in a bad part of town, either.

Yup. I’m looking into it. Currently my smaller gun is a Beretta 92FS, so, still a little on the large size for CC.

All very good points.

I’d much rather have a DC2 Integra, myself. But the Celica probably has a much better chance of not being stolen/fucked with by douchelumps.

I know I’m making a generalization here, but in my experience at least, the guys who try to put down women over car stuff don’t actually know that much about cars themselves. They’re just idiotic fanboys.

Well, from the property owner’s standpoint, ultimately, what else can one depend on to ensure one’s property rights but the possible threat of extreme violence? I mean, a government omnipresent enough to constantly guarantee one’s safety would be an oppressive police state, and, well, we can’t count on everybody being…

Eh, I’m fine with it. Some choices are just so horrible that I don’t think the people who’ve made them deserve a chance at redemption, even if redemption is possible. This would be one of them.

Well, DeLoreans have an interesting back-story to help them out. And some movie from the ‘80s. But yeah, they were a failure.

Oh, I agree.
