Yeah, the likelihood is that this is learned behavior, but these kids are still choosing to perpetuate toxic bigotry, and trying to give reason to this shit even a little is something I’m really sick of hearing. These kids are racist, and maybe some of them will grow out of it, but until they do, they don’t deserve…

No. this is upbringing, and at some point, a choice. These kids, their parents, and their community choose to be ignorant, racist, bigots who are comfortable in their skin enough to lash out with vitriol against anyone who doesn’t meet their white, christian, hetero-normative ideals. I grew up on a farm, attended tiny…

That’s the kind of old-money that’s so old, there really isn’t any left. I lived next to two estates back in Blighty. One had a dingy looking Mk1 Clio, and the other - a Lord Lieutenant no less - had a Mk4 Astra estate. From what I’ve heard, the first sold up a few years ago, and the other is retooling the house for…

No? A no-deal Brexit would be political suicide for the Tories and no-one has the stomach for it. A 2nd referendum will cause a massive squabble, but it’s the only realistic way forward.

Before I read ‘Ferrari badges’ I assumed you were talking about the Tigra. Most of those had suffered the Fast and the Furious fate by the 2000s.

If you want a Fiat Coupe, you need to wait a couple more years for the 20V 5 cylinder turbo, which is by far the best engine the Coupe ever got.

Not gonna disagree with you, I had a Mk1 Seat Leon, which was on the same platform as the Mk4 Golf. VWG design back then was on another level, and in spite of being shackled with a gutless engine (1.4 NA!), it was never disappointing to drive.

I think the issue with the Mk4 GTi was that it had the reputation as being a bit soft - at least compared to the Mk2 - and it was perceived more as a trim level rather than a dedicated hot hatch (in Europe at least there were V5 and diesel GTi variants of the Mk4). Doesn’t help that it now lives in the shadow of the…

I mean yeah, it looks like a Transformer mid-sneeze, but c’mon, it’s $50 - you’re only gonna get look-adjacent at that price point. The speed champion sets all rely on stickers to be recognizable after all.

You should try it some time. The fun I mean. You never seem to have much around here. The regular sex on the other hand totally checks out.

I mean, some us can do both.

Because it’s fun? If you aren’t into fun, that’s fine. You do you.

Me too! I didn’t even know what the hell it was (I think I was 7 or something at the time). I was totally pissed too as I’d spent a good chunk of saved-up pocket money on a Micro Machines set to give him.

Always loved the Opel/Vauxhall corporate livery from the mid-90's

Always loved their no tobacco advertising variations too.

Why isn’t this top of the comments with a million stars already!

I think Saab’s time was up regardless what they did, so it’s good they went out strong. And man, Lancia? They’ve been on life support for 30 years, so it’s definitely just as well Saab didn’t suffer the same fate.

Yeah, I read this great story about how every time Saab were designing a new car under GM, they were told to use GM parts-bin stuff as much as possible, and every time Saab put in the bare minimum they could get away with. When it came time for Saab to design the last 9-5, GM ordered them to use x amount (I don’t…

OK, so the one that freaked me out the most after Look At Me was one I can never find again, and now all I can think is maybe I made it up. It was a story of someone driving long distance in the dead of night and every time they made a pitstop, someone had left graffiti in the restroom about them - their car, the…
