This just sent me down a bizarre rabbit hole. I vaguely remember a couple of kids wearing something like this to school, but I might have been just a little too young for Belt Racers. However, I just found something similar called “Drag Waisters” that came out a few years later, and now I might have to buy this toy MR2…

Your time has more value than you realize, and it’s not always worth it spending days or multiple weekends attempting to fix/repair/replace something that a shop could do in an afternoon. I consider myself pretty handy, but I’ve come to realize when I’m in over my head or when a task requires more than I’m willing to…

Nah, just get in on the passenger side, make awkward small talk for a minute and pretend that’s somehow less obvious.

With 2 Volvos in our driveway, I will say the seats. It’s such a mundane thing to consider but one of the first things I notice after spending significant time in almost any other vehicle. You wouldn’t think anything special by looking at them, but they’re one of the few that doesn’t have my lower-back problem…

NP if you’re an entry-level drug dealer who specializes in selling HGH to juice heads in the parking lot of a Planet Fitness. Otherwise, this car is a disaster and should be avoided at all costs.

I’m not especially well-versed in bikes, but I’ll vote NP on this unicorn. Suzuki spent an insane amount of R&D money on these, priced them higher than almost anything else on the market, and unsurprisingly pulled the plug soon after due to low sales. I can’t imagine there are many of these left in running or savable c…

And perhaps most famously...

Let’s get real. This is just a high-tech donut and Big Gulp delivery service.

Naw man, you can keep it.

Pssst... that isn’t a REPU, it’s a B1800.

The Corvair was the victim of an unfair hit job by an aspiring young lawyer and didn’t deserve the hand it was dealt. One of the most innovative platforms launched by an American automaker was effectively dead-ended as a result.

This is in the neighborhood for what a nicely sorted FB costs these days. Plus, it’s brown and the dash + interior hasn’t turned into a mess of cracks and delaminated plastics. If it only had the brown plaid seats. No rust, it comes with stock wheels (those aftermarket rollers are a huge whiff), and the GSL is what…

Okay, real question. You know how in movies anybody can jump in a car, flip down the visor, and BOOM - instant keys. Has anyone ever actually done this?

A two person rage-Tweeting Voltron made of colossal idiots. Guys, I’m starting to think we aren’t going to make it.

That sucks, but is hardly surprising. I never cared about the BMW pedigree but wasn’t crazy about the looks when it first came out. I’ve warmed up to them a lot, and I think color choice really helps for reconciling their appearance. It launched at a bad time, the new economy hasn’t been kind to frivolous purchases,…

LOL, but it’s self-greasing by the time it reaches the exit, that’s the neat part!

Exactly. I want the El Camino to make a comeback so bad, but it never will because it’s not “enough truck” for those who don’t even know which end of a hammer to hold, but think they need to haul framing lumber and 4x8 sheets of ply on the daily.

I didn’t come up with it, but as a lifelong cat lover and doting father to many of them, it’s one of those things where if you know, you know. We need to store dental floss in our household like a hazardous material.

Nah, I don’t particularly like the SSR but I respect it, and it shouldn’t be dumped on as hard as it is. It was intended as a boutique, low-volume seller and we should appreciate when automakers take those kind of risks and encourage more of it.

Alright, look. I’m going to stick up for the Santa Cruz. 98% of the time or more, I don’t need a full-sized bed and the “baby bed” is the right size for chucking some outdoor gear in the back or picking up some bagged mulch from Home Depot. Towing capacity is also perfectly sufficient. If I were in the market, a…
