That show was not the worst offender. Star Trek: Voyager did an episode where they found a 1937 Ford pickup floating in space, having been somehow transported across the galaxy from when it was new after its owner was kidnapped by aliens along with Amelia Earhart and her navigator from the trip she disappeared on,…

The Crosstrek. Great little car, good for commuting, errands, and camping. Around where i live the awd is useful and people actually drive them off road a lot. But, soooo.... sloooooow. I owned one, I loved it! It got in a wreck and was totaled. I’d be the first one in line at the Suabru dealer if they dropped the…

*objectively good only applies to warrantied vehicles

It’s down there in the fine print somewhere

Nah, tons of interiors from that time period all looked like that. It used to bother me more before I owned the car but now if the difference is owning a 911 with not my favorite interior or not owning a 911, I’m going with the former every time.

How it hell is lifting up 5 gallons of gasoline, balancing it on an plastic tab against the fuel filler hole and then PUSHING DOWN considered safe in any way. I spill much less with my “unsafe” older gas cans. 

Every... single... crossover.

That drivetrain, for that price, really needs to be wrapped in a Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe.  Even then, $28k is high.

911's.

No, we need more 2 door vehicles, not fewer! SUVs, trucks, hatchbacks, coupes, all of them!

It takes like -150 degrees below zero to freeze gasoline.

Ironic really, because you’d think Lamborghini would be the obnoxious brand (and it has its moments too, DGMW) but somehow the idea of Ferrari ownership just feels so much more cringey to me.

Toyota Corollas.

You may be the first person in the history of ever who has called a Land Rover “objectively good”. Any objective review of Land Rover’s reliability data over the last 25 years would indicate that the only reason to buy one is to show your neighbors how much disposable income you are willing to literally burn or throw…

Ferrari, the brand. This isn’t a knock on the cars themselves, but I would never own one, even if money was not a consideration. I grew up in a time where their logo and branding was adorned by some of the most scummy people you can imagine. Too tight ferrari polos, ferrari pumas, ferrari baseball hats, ferrari…

Anything BMW.   They all look like matchbox cars to me.   And the way Jalopnik fawns over them. 

I never had that problem with my mom’s mower or my mower.

FUCK safety spouts. God!

I don’t know about 20 years, but I do know that my 5-gallon can of gas that I use to top off my lawn mower lasts for three or four years before I need to fill it back up.

Also, safety spouts can piss right off.

I must be lucky, because I use the same old ass gas and my mower starts right up after a handfull of pulls. Then 1 or 2 pulls every mow after that.

I’ve always watched shows like this and thought “well, someone doesn’t mow their own yard.” Because every spring, it’s the same thing.
