Fair enough. It’s perfectly fine to look at what you want in a car, given your own preferences, and decide where to draw the line on compromises. My line is in a different place, but that doesn’t make yours any less valid. 

Well, yeah, but the cheapest 911 costs like $85 grand these days, and I don’t know about you, but if I’m spending that kind of money on a product I want closer to optimal than that. I think struts are OK for something like a GT-86, or even a Mustang, because of the value proposition. But I expect more from something…

Well, at least they’re stealing from people with money. 

OK. I know I’ve been a total dick about this car, but that was worth a read.

But that fits, because the ‘90s were all about nostalgia for the ‘70s, not the ‘60s. I mean, it’s not like we were watching “That ‘60s Show” back then. 

I am able to love Alfas and Jags precisely because everybody knows they’re unreliable. Compare that with German cars, which aren’t any better, but sell consumers the false expectation of being well-engineered and reliable. I can’t stand the Germans. Their reputation is based on a lie. At least you (should) know what…

Lol, “car guys.” Why don’t you just come out and say “dorks?” 

NSX was best, but in a completely different class.

What does it smell like when it’s burning? 

Interesting. I would have assumed that development of new coal-powered steam locomotives stopped long before 1941. By then, I figured everything would have been diesel. 

But why?

Sounds like a pretty decent prank. Not quite as funny as dog doo in someone’s helmet, but still worth a chuckle or two. 

I was going to say, “Imagine if the original had lasted that long. Chrysler would have been cranking out 1970 Challys in 1981!”

Too bad they didn’t build their own Supra right in their own factory. 

This is the first Corolla of the modern era that I would take over a Civic. Toyota must be doing something right, because the current Camry is the also the first Camry I would rather have than an Accord.

I have a theory that parking near the cart corrals is actually marginally safer than parking far away from it. Why? Because if somebody is close to the corral, they’re more likely to return their cart. When they park far away from the corral, that seems to be when they don’t make the effort.

Whoo, UT! Hook, ‘em, fellow Longhorn.

Kind of like a more-charming version of the K-swapped Elise. 

I think the reason “enthusiasts” shit on the PT Cruiser boils down to basic snobbery and tribalism.

At least.
