The new typeface looks alike a bootleg version of Verdana. I agree with your take 100% Torch.

Agreed. Pinched pennies without ever improving it or redesigning it.

Chrysler PT Cruiser.

Obviously there was some hubris involved on the officer’s part, but he did observe the “wrong” Challenger pass on the right.

Bought my last car CPO. 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, FTW!

So. Much. This.

Cars that go a short distance and are then useless for 2 to 8 hours

I dunno, Chris. I think the BMW E63 is the ugliest car to hit public roads; seeing one makes me want to scratch my eyes out. However, I recently met a dude who owns one. Good guy, I’d hang out with him again.

You’re right. IIRC, it was the quartering winds question from the grad student that lead to the discovery of the welded vs. bolted joints; compounding issues really. I actually heard LeMessurier talk about it shortly after the New Yorker article came out. This would have been around 1996 (I was getting my BS in Civil

You make it sound like the Citicorp Center design was crap to begin with; it wasn’t. The original design was just fine. It was really the changes made during construction (bolted joints instead of welded) that were made things a serious issue; that and the possible loss of power to the tuned-mass damper at the top.

That’s not a Miata.

This analogy is flawed. BTTFIII was way better than II.

I hope that if my car ever gets stolen, and if the thieves don't do me the favor of burning it down to the ground, they're at least stupid enough to do something like this.

Hey Uncle Ben! Long time, no see. It's a shame there isn't some other social media that we both use that allows us to connect directly where we'd see each other way more often and talk about more than just cars and football.

Where'd you guys find a Band Aid™ that big?

My 2005 MINI Cooper S. I'm not sure if I was just spoiled by my Honda products that I owned before it, but this car was not built to last. One small part breakage means huge repair bills...and things that aren't supposed to break, break all the fucking time. It's for sale if any one wants it...no, really.

You get a star for giving me a star. EVERYONE GETS A STAR!

Torch, you're missing the more important part of this shot: They spelled your last name correctly!

What was that about vehicles that nobody asked for?
