The angry-eyes slant of the headlight covers makes it even better. That's some grim determination right there.

Considering she was an American driving a right-hand-drive car (and presumably a manual — I forgot if they gave her the automatic like they did with Alice Cooper), I cut her some slack on that lap. I've tried moving my shifter to the left side of my sim setup, and it'd take a lot of practice to stop sucking with that…

Seconded. I mean, the school teacher looked at her and flat out said "blonde == trouble," and then, surprise, trouble happened. Of course she blamed the hair.

I had an '85 Civic in "champagne beige." Talk about polishing a turd.

My former roommate had a navy blue Cimarron. It was...a car.

Reminds me of when they bleeped out all the gun references in Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko.

It may not be legal, but when you've already exhausted your unemployment benefits, cashed out your 401k, emptied your savings account, maxed out your credit cards, and don't make enough to put anything in savings, it's kind of hard to consider rocking the boat when you don't have a life raft to jump into when the ship…

New Order without Peter Hook is dead to me.

Wait, a sample size of 3? And the person drinking the Diet Coke had zero dental care in his or her life? Yeah, I call bullshit on this whole article. Not saying Diet Coke is good for you, but seriously, you can't draw conclusions from a sample that small.

Sounds like my family. Dad drove a hot rod convertible of some sort, then got married, sold it, and bought a VW Beetle.

Looking at it more closely, you're totally right. It's the source photo for the alpaca hybrid he made, though, which is why my brain went, "Oh, I know that pic!"

Oh, I met the guy who made that. Photoshop expert and print designer. He brought his computer into the shop where I work a few weeks back, and that was his background. He said they're composite sheep/alpaca, and he made the photomanip for his kids.

Is 200 really that bad? I usually take I-90 from Missoula to Helena, but sometimes I take 200 to Ovando, then down to Avon and over MacDonald Pass, and it's usually a sedate drive. Going from Lincoln to Helena over Flesher Pass is an adventure, though. I drove over that mountain in a whiteout once and thought the…

Seconded, though the stretch from Skalkaho to Missoula is pretty nice now that most of it's 4 lanes, though you have to keep an eye out for deer/elk/moose/bears/etc. And that wildlife tunnel north of Missoula is pretty cool, as are the road signs half in English and half in whatever Native American dialect is used…

Though it does have a giant hole full of toxic shit.

Don't we wish. It's been over 100 in Missoula for the past week.

Yeah, I thought it was well known that Malibus are terrible. I drove a 97 Malibu LS for several years...it was a total piece of shit, but I only paid $600 for it and later sold it to my douchebag boss's daughter for $1500, so I guess I can't complain too much.

Exactly. I worked next door to an insurance company, and two of the agents were on a road trip recently. On the drive home, they hit a deer. Both of them were apparently shouting, "HIT THE DEER! DON'T SWERVE! HIT THE DEER!" in unison, because that's what you're supposed to do if you want to get your insurance company…

This isn't exactly about tubes getting tied, but it's relevant to the conversation, so bear with me.

Unless there's rape or attention whores shooting themselves for publicity. Then we get to be newsworthy.
