So “do as I say, not as I do”, unless Ford is radically retooling as we speak that reasonable sized car won’t have a blue oval on it.

I'll nominate the FD RX-7,  flawed, but brilliant when it was working.  If you want stone reliable grand touring, Lexus SC400 or its parent Toyota Soarer

I like this because a lot of my 7-11 trips are by bicycle.  I'm still not liking the markup since Winco has Powerade Zero for $0.78 a quart on sale, so I stock up whenever possible. 

In my neck of the woods a surprising number of framers, roofers, and other contractors use lifted crew cab brodozers for actual work, regardless of how impractical it is.

This has become straight up mob violence without even a pretense of car culture.  I'm glad I live out in the sticks 

That’s amazing, I expect Tesla’s “Partial Self Driving” to do dumb stuff, but adriver so brain dead he doesn’t notice he’s on a train track is stunning.

I guess this proves anyone named Lance is enormous tool since this the third example after a friend's ex and Lance Armstrong.  Lance should take his lumps and begin marital counseling ASAP.  

I think something like Formula 750 with a spec engine and basic car parameters leaves more scope. Pay to win can be deterred by a claiming rule. 

I am sad that Suzuki has left the US market and the Jimny wouldn't be legal anyway. I suppose a a latter day Vitara would be good

We have our 2016 Mazda CX-5 because after our beloved Mazda5 was totaled and our SSaturn grenaded it’s transaxle we had no usable cars and Mazda had a really good lease deal. We still have it because when it came off lease my wife had just left her job and we got an OK car loan in 30 minutes.  While it's not ideal the

That sounds like the cops only nabbed full patch brothers and no prospects or associates. I’m surprised at the number of Latino names, I generally associate them with the Mongols.

It looks more like an early oughts Honda Civic with fake decals and fooforaw. Even the engine may be more show than go.

It fits the run what ya brung ethos of the 50s but I can’t consider it a Porsche 550 rival unless a film star died in one ala James Dean.

From experience in NYC a BMW Airhead is too wide to be great city bike. You want a single or small parallel twin to make it easier to squeeze through gaps. The notable exception would be the old Honda CX500 and CX650 transverse V-twins. These were cheap, durable, tolerant of traffic jams, and undesirable to thieves

I have fond memories of these and was ready to go NP until the cracked moon roof and the non operational registration,  then sadly ND

The 90s Saturn is a bit of a risk since the differential pin of death can slip out of place and grenade the transaxle. That's what killed our 97 SL2 after 15 years of service.  

I'm having flashbacks to Hummer vandalism and the FU H2 days. It tracks that these are obnoxious and polarizing just like a chromed H2 SUR on spinners. 

Is your name Spartacus?

Old Cadillacs had actual bimetallic thermometers built into the driver’s side rear view mirror stalk.

One would expect Ford to better at this since they have been making pickups for decades. Instead they are rivaling Tesla for recalls.
