Totally beat me to this one.

Grew up on a small farm east on Pittsburgh, so I started by working on the tractors. Changing motor oil, changing the oil in the oil bath air cleaners, fixing stuff on random implements and such. Then moved on to changing oil in the cars, changing rusty exhausts, changing brakes and such. The most interesting was when…

For some reason in Pittsburgh, drivers slow down for tunnels. Coming into the city through the Squirrel Hill tunnel or from the west through the Fort Pitt Tunnel, drivers will inexplicably go from driving 70+ (the speed limit is 55) to quite literally crawling through tunnels at less than 30. Rush hour traffic backs…

Escalade. Take a massive SUV, bling it out, then throw 22" rims on it without increasing the size of the factory brakes. Looks stupid, is stupid. Why anyone pays the extra for one of those over a Denali or whatever Chevy call it is beyond me. And with the massive rims, the brakes look like they came off a Smart car.

Miata is the right answer.  How did no-one recommend it?

New Jersey and Oregon. No self-serve. You have to wait for an attendant to fill you up.  WTF...

Rolled in to one of the local gas stations to top off the air in my tires. While I was there some lady pulls in with a pickup truck towing a barbeque (one of those huge trailers, wood-fired). As she’s proceeding to fill the tank in the truck, I saw the smoke coming out of the chimney of the barbeque and realized THERE…

I used to work at a department store auto shop (think monkeys). We had a car some into the shop for PA state inspection. Unibody rail was cracked. Tech started to weld it together and caught the wiring harness on fire. I forget how much it cost us to get the thing fixed for the customer.

We had a 1973 Ford Gran Torino in “Mallard Green”.  Look it up, it was hideous.  Second to that was the Crown Vic my folks had (can’t remember the year) in Sea Foam Green.  And although I know it’s been selling well, I’m not a fan of Jeep’s Tuscadero Pink.  But what do I know?  I’m mildly blue green color blind...

As long as Lucas didn’t do any of the electrical bits, it might be OK...

I’m just going to leave this picture of the Geo Storm right here, but really any car that didn’t have them retract all the way.  I looks half-assed, like nobody cared that the lights didn’t close all the way.

My old 1979 International Scout II Terra. But please remove the 304-V8 International truck engine, Torqueflite 727 transmission, transfer case, and Dana axles so someone else can use them. That driveline was indestructible. The body can rust away to nothing with me.

How can anything other than Herbie the Love Bug be correct?

Mercedes G-500. I had to ride in one for an 8-hour round trip years ago. It was snowing...no, we were in a blizzard on the way home. To keep the windshield wipers from icing up you had to run the defroster on the “bake” setting at full blast. As soon as it was turned down the wipers would ice up. And the seats were…

Damn, I wish it were April 1st so that this would be some kind of rude April Fool’s joke...

A good first aid kit. You never know when you might need it, and you just might save a life.

The “customizations” are beyond any real description...

The retro Fulvia concept that Lancia showed a while back gets a vote for me, or the Stratos someone did a few years ago.
