My all-time favorite is the Black Betty teaser for the VW Beetle relaunch from Super Bowl XLV. It managed to actually get me excited without even showing the car. I later bought a 2012 Beetle turbo launch edition. 

The correct answer will always be the CR-Z. It had a shot at being as iconic as the CRX before it, but Honda decided to stick a couple of hamsters under the hood instead. “Sport hybrid coupe” in marketing only. It even came with a 6-speed manual! Imagine if it had 200+ horses instead of the meager COMBINED ~130 from…

looks like a fish monster from the Star Wars universe. 

I’d argue that two consecutive generations of the Honda Prelude had both good sides and bad sides, and those sides flipped between the two generations. Gen 4 with the tall taillights and narrow headlights, and then the Gen 5 with the tall headlights and narrow taillights. Even as a teenager I remember thinking “weird,…

I live in Wisconsin. It’s almost December. This is the only answer for me:

Believe it or not, when I was in high school our physics teacher flat-out believed that the interstate highway system was designed in such a way that if your car was perfectly aligned, the road was in good condition, and you were going exactly the speed limit, and took your hands off the wheel, the banked nature of…

As a v6 spirit owner who lusted after the Spirit R/T, i approve of this comment

If you wouldn’t buy someone’s finished project then you definitely shouldn’t buy a half-finished project. ND

I had a 1998 Dodge Neon “Highline” which is really just what they called it when they started putting all the options on the Neon because it was stumbling in sales. It had the larger motor with the “power bulge” hood, but it was still incredibly slow. Of course, being a high school student, I thought it was awesome,…

Bucky O’Hare

He was just practicing his technique for the NFL combine.

Yeah I mean “feeling normal” is probably not enough for a professional athlete, but I find the expectation of ligament damage odd. I had a particularly bad dislocation my first time (kneecap was almost on the back of my knee, it was gross) and I had no ligament damage. We don’t know the extent of Mahomes’ dislocation…

He had a kneecap dislocation. Right leg, kneecap fell off to the right side. Same thing has happened to me twice, 12 years apart. I immediately recognized the leg cradle and the trainer putting pressure on the kneecap to slide it back into place. It’s incredibly painful when it’s out of place but it feels about 80%…

Counterpoint: Who gives a fuck where you go?

I get it... but I don’t get it. 

So... Hart’s two friends - one of whom was driving the car and crashed it - are suing him personally? The TMZ article doesn’t offer much in the way of details aside from both people having attorneys and Hart “preparing” to be sued. I’m sure they have medical expenses that need to be covered, and I guess we don’t know…

I was actually at the game yesterday. Not sure about a gametime temp of 87 though, it was mid 90s in the parking lot and reached as high as 97 in the stadium from what I saw. In any case, the puke-cleanup-guy became a bit of an impromptu celebrity after his first appearance. He brought out a huge shovel and scooped…
