I’d love to see Romana come back, as long as she’s way more Mary Tamm than Lalla Ward.

one of my biggest thrills ever was seeing Steve perform Kermit live on stage during a panel at Dragon*Con a couple of years back. It was freaking magical; that lump of felt just came to life (my friend was weeping openly next to me, and I got a bit misty as well). I also got a pretty good feeling about Steve himself -…

my first car (in ‘91) was an ‘80 Monza notch with an Iron Duke and a barely passable 3-speed automatic that *usually* upshifted, in “fade-n-chip” GM navy blue with an acid rain skunk stripe running the entire length. It was pretty much a pain in the ass all around, but it was what I had.

my wife and daughter love the wraps from espionage! They have sales pretty often, and you can get some really good deals (like packs for under five bucks) if you keep an eye on things.

yeah, when I first got into biking a few years ago, I bought “the best mountain bike you could get at Wal-Mart” - it was fine at first, but it was totally thrashed after a summer of 40-50 trail miles a week.

bet it matches the appliances in your mom’s 70s kitchen, though, right?

I once owned the Chevy version of this one (98 Venture - no Warner Bros package...) with the 2.8 V6; unremarkable yet mostly bulletproof drivetrain, though the rest of it pretty much fell apart slowly around us while we slowly rolled (wobbled, really - the suspension was miserable, and it doesn’t appear that’s been…

Katy Sagal wants to sing, you let her sing!

obviously, the real question here is which emoji it reminds people of....

dear young cphaurckker,

mine was an 80 Monza; dark blue 2+2 with acid-rain induced striping. Iron Duke. Damn thing broke every week, but I learned to fix it. I hated that car, but I also kinda loved it.

Down, boys....

I love that little Yaris that just sort of sneaks by. he’s having none of this crap.

sell the Recaros, you're halfway to LeMons; right?

I drove a Chevy Celebrity with wire wheel covers and a landau top to my junior prom.
