I personally don’t see the fascination in JJ and how some put him up on a pedestal saying he’s some kind of sci-fi genius. I haven’t been impressed by his work at all.

J.J. “I want to make lots of money off of existing properties, but I don’t want to be tied down by their storylines or history, so I’m just going to ruin them knowing people will come anyway” Abrams.  That guy?

I remember it being terrible and poorly received (perfect other than that though!). It must be Revisionist History Week.

Perfect? The Wachowski’s Speedracer was perfect?

I had a 1986 CRX Si back in college. It was a complete deathtrap but man it was a hoot to fling around.

Pontiac Fiero.  It would be great to have a mid-engine competitor to the Toyobaru / Miata.

Someone could probably stick this on their rural property in NC or CA, spruce up the interior and have a ready to go AirBnb guesthouse without even fixing the powertrain. 

Restomod? But where’s the purple, orange, and lime green paint scene? Where are the 22" chrome wheels? Where’s the undrivable 800-hp crate motor? Where’s the interior from a ‘03 Escalade covered in tan (always tan) ostrich hide? Where are the seven subwoofers? Where are the airbags? Where. Are. The. Airbags?!

I installed a CB radio with a PA speaker in my first car. Freshman year hijinks ensued.

Light-up pedal covers in a Volvo 850. Blue, made that high-pitched electronic noise you can hear when you’re young, probably powered by the cigarette lighter.

Oh I threw soooo much stupid stuff at my Neon. Look at this interior. LOOK AT IT:

The stock shifter on my Fit is losing its wrap, looks like a botched circumcision. I was sharing on social media some ideas for a replacement knob, including the one from The Mandalorian.

I ripped the “BOSE” logo off of one of my parent’s home theater speakers and glued it to the center console of my beater Mazda Protege when I was in high school. That was actually one of the less stupid decisions I made in my teenage years.  

I’m just not sure how we can beat David Tracy on this. 

Fly-head air cleaner on a carbureted small block chevy.  Over time the foam deteriorates (or with one good backfire just gets obliterated) and little bits fall into the engine.  Thankfully caught it before too much of it got sucked up but man, what a terrible design.

Oof, I put a generic cold air intake on my 2001 Ford Focus hatchback. (green, with a sweet ZX3 banner on the top of the windshield ) Under heavy acceleration, which was a lot as a dumb kid, the intake would pop off the top of the engine disabling the car. I’d end up stalled in traffic, on the highway, at an…

Yup. Had several of these in my collection.

Or... <shudder> ALABAMA!

I bet 253 hp is about 53 more hp than most of the ‘32 Fords running around with lame-ass tree-fiddy motors.
