Mercury Topaz. My first car. Pretty sure I played a lot of “Sabotage” in it too.

A little music you’ll find relevant. You can sing it to Apollo 911 while waiting for the inevitable tow trucks. But do I think you made a bad decision? Hells no! You’ve got a 911 and I don’t!


“I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ‘round my brain.
I guess I’m always…

Came looking for a “Your Mom” joke. Left disappointed.

Depends what the walk is on the diesel. If Chevy keeps the price reasonable it could be enough to convince people. And I’m guessing with putting a diesel on a car that sells as well as Equinox they’ve figured it out.

The primary argument for optioning a diesel in a crossover or SUV is fuel efficiency. With gas prices as low as they are and the incremental cost of optioning the diesel over a gas variant, it wouldn’t make it worthwhile if you ran the numbers, unless you’re planning on keeping the truck for years to enjoy incremental…

That car is a shameful time in America’s history.

“I’d love it to be a convertible. Again childhood fantasy to take a weekend cruise along the coast ...”

Do what Don Draper Does. 1964 Imperial Crown Convertible.

“Allow me to introduce my twins, Ariel and Atom.”

I work with a woman from Grenada who always pronounces it “Yukorn”.

Two words: Moon Base.

I have a 6-speed in my Miata and I hate the down and right location of reverse. Even though I’m sure it has a lock-out (never thought to check.), I always have this little voice in my head each time I go for sixth “I hope you’re not in reveeerrrrrse...!!”

Edit: Checked. There is no reverse lock-out. That did nothing to…

I couldn’t agree more with your assessment of most people simply wanting reinforcement of their car buying decision versus actually wanting advice. It happened to me twice in the past two weeks.

That was a Rio taxi (yellow with a blue stripe). That may likely explain some of the bus driver’s rage.

As someone who frequents the streets of Toronto (and drove down that back straight a week ago) that ain’t nuthin’! Try running a race up Jarvis Street or along the Gardiner Expressway. It's definitely taken its toll on my Miata.

I hope they put a model of a unicorn outside the ark with a life jacket on.

This is reckless journalism at its worst. And a poor decision to score some clickbait points. Let the authorities conduct their investigation to determine what actually happened rather than postulating callous speculation in lieu of facts.

Alec Baldwin and Robert Klein were my two favourites. Klein’s “Opera Pimp” line has been replayed countless times.

Honourable mention to Joel Hodgson for the Heinz ketchup bit.

And the Garry Shandling one is a bittersweet one to watch now.

His story about Rip Torn?! God damn that was funny stuff!
