Will the dashboard go completely dark (along with the tail lights) at random intervals, requiring you to pull over and change a blown fuse, just like in my 1987 Mustang GT? That would be charmingly retro.

As much as I’d like to shit on this dinosaur, my gf got one as a rental upgrade (didn’t ask for it) last year and it was pretty rad. It has a coolness beyond it’s age.

Nowhere else to put this, but if I get one more talking “Bachelorette” pop-up ad that I can’t figure out how to turn off when I open your stories I’m going to smash my phone, drop it in a box of dog shit, and mail it to you.

Flew to London. Not exactly car related on the surface (especially from my girlfriend’s point of view) but the car spotting is Yankee geek nirvana. From manual transmission econoboxes to super cars to every Euro/Asian forbidden fruit. It’s mega.

Humans are just baby birds with five-fingered hands and advanced pattern recognition: we will gladly peck the weakling to death and push it out of the nest for a larger share of the food.

This is totally cool. I expect some awesome MP4/4 rooms online. Would it be a sin to give it a different livery in the editor?

“I work all day in the factory

Come on guys, let’s not all dance on his grave.

Same here. I saw about 10 minutes of one of those movies and that was more than enough. Never caught the names of any characters though.

Hey Bunkie! Have you been down in the dumps lately because of an onset of the debilitating Rich Guy condition known as “Running Out Of Shit To Buy”? Boy has Aston Martin got just the thing for you! It’s called the . . . oh, who gives a fuck?! It’s a car! It’s stupidly expensive (got your attention yet?)! And it’s,…

Will they refuse to work on my hog if they see me wearing my $49 “Harley Davison” pleather vest instead of their $355 official H-D apparel?

Ralph Nader is going to catch some shit for this and we all love to hate him (especially for the 2000 election) but he’s 100% right. And about automotive safety he’s almost always been right. Cars were horribly, viciously unsafe until this nerd came along. 

Swing and a miss . . . . 

It was somewhat interesting when Tang did it, but mostly because of his amusing legal entanglements. Now it’s kind of silly, the sound of one hand clapping. And a way for one Manhattan millionaire to separate himself from the other 100,000 Manhattan millionaires. 

ICEs are not going ANYWHERE until you can buy an EV for $25,000 that can drive 300 miles on a charge and can be recharged in less than 10 minutes in any rural town. Period. Oh, and having a battery pack that doesn’t have the ecological impact of train wreck wouldn’t hurt.

Don’t worry, everybody. It’s just a bunch of plants and animals. We humans are doing great!

Meh, no big loss . After so many great Maximas of the past, it had bloated into a busy looking poser sled, preferred by interior designers (non certified) to drive to Jimmy Buffet concerts and Trans Siberian Orchestra shows.

Gran Turismo 5’s “overrated” label might just fit but it was still a major breakthrough, and fun as hell to boot. The online lobby system was fantastic, room hosts could kick trolls out, and Shuffle rooms were an absolute blast. Also, the used car system made trading/gifting cars with other players a lot of fun. GT5…

Well, I WAS going to just keep watching plane spotting videos as I lay here in bed recovering from my second Phizer booster, but damned if you didn’t just get to reach for the remote. Perfect timing, sir.

If we’re going by batting average over sheer number of models?
