We’re inconveniencing this poster. Hurry! Write letters to congress demanding it be stopped! Saving numerous lives is not worth the few seconds a day this person will needlessly suffer. Freedom from seatbelt interlock tyranny!!!!

I always hated them, not because they were terrible cars in their day, but because I thought they were incredibly ugly. Ugly in the front, ugly in the back. Ugly when new, ugly 20 years later, still ugly now. I still see Vegas and Pintos on rare occasions (yuck), but I haven’t seen a Maverick in decades. I assume

What’s wrong with flat dress shoes? These seem more like a medieval punishment device.  

(once) I used to think that it can’t get worse than Rick Perry.

I presume you must have never been to court for anything. It’s a nightmare of time, money and stress that simply isn’t worth hassling over for smallish amounts. For the average person, it simply isn’t worth bothering. Large corporations, with 100s of lawyers on retainer, know this;  so they just keep on screwing

I lost much time to Morrowind and Oblivion, but I lost entire weekends playing the original Civilization. (1994?) There’s always just one more turn”.

The gameplay is feeling dated now, but I used to replay this game every year. Time to dust it off once more. Literally. I have to dust off the CDs and find my (dusty) portable CD drive to install it with.

Sometimes being a shitty person has consequences; not often enough, but sometimes.  Reap it, Mike.

In a year or two, when we are able to count the “excess deaths” per year beyond what we usually see (for states and the nation), I suspect it will be a real eye opener.  It will expose other nations as having been full of shit but I also suspect it will expose a number of republican states as being far worse than they

Totally concur. These low level driver assist features are better suited to take over from you in an emergency rather than relying on the driver to be immediately ready to react to a confused AI. Rather than doing all the driving, let the AI handle emergency braking or an emergency pull-over if the driver passes out

These were always cars to be ridiculed and nothing has changed. If you are desperate for transportation, or 87 years old, it’ll do.  

Not sure I’d call it a scam and I don’t really care if the patrons understand they’re basically getting screwed for the convenience of tiny, affordable portions. Many of the exact same $1 items actually cost less elsewhere. It’s predatory is what it is. Preying on the poor on a grand scale while they gleefully bend

Ugly... (next pic) Ugly.... Ugly... Ug...

Seems like 400Z could work. (400HP)

Can confirm, as I have been that idiot. Quite embarrassing and apparently, according to the attendant, it happens a lot. Hearing that didn’t make me feel any better about being a moron.  

That’s really cool, but extremely impractical for 99.99% of us. Always open to the elements, not to mention thieves. Seems like the kind of thing a sunny resort might buy or someone with a huge stable of cars. If anyone could truly daily drive this thing, then I salute them.

Sure, if someone is a complete and utter jackass, they might see it that way.  

$50,000? For... that?
