That’s OK. I’m more interested in the car too.

Well, the Pinto will trap and incinerate you in a collision, but the Gremlin is totes fugs. So, Pinto.

That car was sitting in the Petersen Museum last time I was there. 

I enjoy washing my car in the same deranged way Hank Hill enjoys taking care of his lawn. 

Yes, but one of the reasons cars weigh so much now “for safety” is that they have to share the road with a lot of 6,000-lb. trucks masquerading as passenger vehicles. Get those off the roads, and ordinary cars can lose some weight and still be safe. 

Neutral: Connect gas pumps to scales in the ground in front of them. Then charge a progressively higher fuel tax based on weight.

Heh, I live in L.A. Biggest problem in Los Angeles is too many slow and timid drivers. I don’t know what people here have against getting somewhere in a hurry, but it seems like everybody here could use a good jolt of caffeine if not something stronger. Half the traffic here is caused by stupid people going too damned…

Almost certainly so. Most of the insane shit I saw there was being done by olds. 

I’ve spent a total of three weeks in Florida (as someone actually old enough to remember it), and in that time I saw more people doing WTF things on the road there than I have in an entire lifetime in Texas and California. I’m almost impressed. 

He was turning in some hot laps. 

I can’t imagine them being worse than a typical Florida driver. 

This is like asking me to choose between tacos and nachos.

I could see the Dodge Dagger as a Corvette competitor, less hair-shirty than the Viper was. 

That thing is gnar. Looks like a real hoot. 

First of all, I agree with the premise here, which is auto makers shouldn’t fuck with people’s expectations/muscle memory. Stupid unconventional shifters and things like the Corvette’s dumbass door buttons have literally killed people. There’s no excuse for this shit.

What made Pennsylvania famous made a loser out of me. 

Butt-Head voice: “Whoa! That was cool! Huh-huh.”

Don’t get me wrong, if self-driving cars become a reality I’ll be pretty happy about it, for the reasons you’ve listed. I wouldn’t even mind having one myself for daily “driving.” I just think the challenges are too many for it to ever really work right.

It doesn’t work for me. I end up getting frustrated with the constant adjustments and just turn it off. 

Exactly!
