Another bit of brilliance...I saw an interview once with Ricardo Montalbán discussing the name “Cordoba”. His father was from a town called “CORDoba”, but no, he was told by Chrysler. It’s pronounced “corDOba”

I haven’t watched EVERY car movie, but the worst I can remember is Used Cars, with Kurt Russel cast as the used car dealer/hero of the movie.

Paul Simon made his pilgrimage to Graceland, but it was too far out of my way.  But there’s this...

I had an old KHS singlespeed with a rigid fork and a rubber-eyeball-seatstay rear suspension.  T’was indeed pointless, but a wonderful novelty.

I almost (but not quite) miss being able to lock up the brakes.  The sound of squealing tires is FAR more effective than a horn if you’re stuck behind a jackass

I always called Toyota’s C-HR “chair”
