Fuck that shit.

“I’m going to deal with extreme weather by increasing my contributions to making extreme weather more frequent.”

There’s no seasonally appropriate clothing for getting into a car with an internal temp of 130°. A whole lotta people also commute to, you know, work so they can’t just throw on shorts and a tank top. And most can’t just show up in that and change either. I’m also not going to dress up like an Arctic explorer when my…

Thats kinda what I was thinking. Coasters definitely have a different set of problems than a large part of the USA. I am much more concerned about deer and animal accidents than the 30 seconds a day I may have to idle at a light, the few days a week I visit a town with a light that is. Goes to show that blanket coast…

1st Gear: I don’t think having to use government subsidies to get people to buy EVs is a good plan long term. They need to be made well enough and useful enough to have people buy them regardless. Giving a big discount to the automakers gives them no incentive to figure out how to make them better and cheaper. This is…

I think with minimal effort it could go another ten years.

And I’m a sucker for a column shifter. 

Counterpoint — horizontal speedometers and wide split-bench seats are two things that should never have been pushed out of style by cookie-cutter cars like the Accord.

I seriously chuckled at Torch’s Volvo 240 suggestion. No one drove Volvo’s back then. Where in the hell were you even going to buy one, let alone get it serviced? I grew up on the outskirts of a major city and I don’t recall ever seeing a Volvo dealership (although there probably was maybe one).

Long Live the 4th Gen

My grandad was looking to replace his 1983 ElDorado in 1993. He was looking at a 3800SC Buick Park Avenue Ultra. He drove that Avalon and bought it. He told me, “Toyota built a better Buick.” It even had a front bench. He and grandma loved that car. It got passed to a cousin after grandad and grandma passed away. He…

Yep. It’s like they looked at Audi and said: “Oh yeah, you want negative space? Hold my saké!”

Goodbye, Japanese Buick LeSabre!

“Competent” is the word that comes to mind. The Avalon does many things very well for not too much money. Sadly Toyota felt the need to try and spice things up for the latest generation and give it aggressive styling that really doesn’t suit its purpose. Every time I see one I can’t help but think: “they really…

Hell, I’m an American and I’m still annoyed by it.

you’re a tool. It is important; like the washington football team and every f-ing college team changing any names like : redskins, indians, redmen etc. did you just crawl out from under a rock? oh wait you made an F1 reference so you are a European tool...my bad

I bet he shows up to parties and asks about the “sportsball” as if that’s cute. 

Nautica. Everyone knew someone who wore Nautica in high school. They were usually named Chad, Todd, Thad, or Brodie.

No laughing matter. Those are all badass.
