That is the golden standard of “WTF were they smoking?” botched redesign.  It went from a somewhat conservative, but still attractive design into some hellscape interior and forced oval everything.  Never recovered from that...

The over-ovalled 3rd Gen Ford Taurus

*cute the torches and pitchforks*

“in that era” is pretty key here. The Ford Windsor v8 (even in the updated “H.O.” form) was a 1960s design and the 5.0 here was first released in 1982 (still malaise era). So while 205hp out of 5L is pretty dismal, it wasn’t terribly out of line for its era. Due to its ubiquity, the motor does have a pretty robust…

When she sold her house do you think her neighbors were happy to see her go? Same with the ex husband? Would you want to spend a long time with a perpetually toxic person? 

Ironically the GOP is forcing the US to cede these industries to China because they keep taking money from the oil and gas industry to hold them back. Had the US embraced these industries and renewables decades ago like we should have, the US would be the world leader in them.

That’s kind of the problem. Its collector value is...not this. And its usefulness is limited. It’s like a super-clean Hilux, begging to be used, but you don’t want to risk it.

I mean, politics is inherently full of s—t, but he harks back to real Boss Tweed, PT Barnum-level nonsense. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad, and explains why people lose billions in fraud and scams every year—there really is a sucker born every minute. I always ask people why Trump consistently loses in NY and…

The women in his circle the embodiment of the white trash who will vote for him.  

I just wish the fucker would die already. Heart attack, stage 5 cancer, whatever. He is a sore on America’s ass. And it absolutely blows me away that somehow the race is close? What in the flying fuck is wrong with people? He is the BEST you can do? And its not just him but all of the other crazy people working for…

Drumpf, as incoherent as the drunk at the end of the bar, and happens to be ranting about the exact same topics as the drunk at the end of the bar.

For nearly 30k I’d want a concours level car. This is not close to that. The seat wear, the double DIN unit (rad 80s stereos are part of the charm!) and there is plastic damage all over the passenger side (UV degradation?). 

I truly don’t know how to vote on this.

This year only sucks if you do an all-original restoration. Restomod the hell out of it and build a killer Targa.

It isn’t. It’s a not-at-all-veiled incitement to not vote for the guy. 

Point me to a lefty multi-billionaire who threatens personal violence against the president, and I’ll hate that guy, too.

The connections with Beijing and (alleged) private calls with Putin should have been more red flags than a May Day parade.

In a recent (now deleted) tweet he wondered aloud why Joe Biden and Kamala Harris haven’t yet been assassinated.

there is literally no redeeming quality to this pig - its purple. has black wheels. is an orphan car. wasn’t best in class when new. not a good highschool kid car even if it were cheap enough. it’s absurdly overpriced. it’s heavily neglected. 2 grand for a part-out is this car’s best chance at not becoming a money hole…

A Mercury Tracer was $12450 in 1998 which is $23,700 in todays money. That’s 2024 Honda Civic LX territory and the 24 Civic has as much room as an Accord/Camry from the same era.
