taste disclaimer: general weakness for 80's wedgetastic styling cues.

It has a 5 speed, what I presume is a fully built rover V8, low miles, a gorgeous shapely body, and that wonderful British roadster suspension and you CP because of THE DASH.

This is bad kinja.

In your mule deer hunting section you describe tightly pressing your eye to a rifle scope. That will get you a nasty bruise in a nice ring around your eye. The distance you’re supposed to hold the scope away from your eye is called eye relief and it’s usually about 4 inches for high power scopes. I learned this when I…

I’ve always suspected they were trying to make it feel like a rotary without all of the problems that come with actually using a rotary. Part of that glorious dorito motor experience is that utter lack of low and mid range performance.

If blandness was the issue GM would profiting way less then ford.

Lack of market interest at that price point certainly. Foreign mini trucks used to be extremely cheap compared to their domestic competition.

I thought I was cool when I drove 150 miles to pick up a running car and drive it back 150 miles, but a good friend really beat me on the distance/commitment game when he drove from Michigan to Washington state to buy a ‘63 Electra that had sat for years, spent a couple days getting the engine running and the brakes…

How undersized are the tie rods? Will they break and strand me like previous off-road offerings from GM?

It’s size does not help it’s cause in my book. If I buy a small/mid-size truck I want it to be actually small/mid-size. The chicken tax did a truly a vile deed in killing that market.

Best: My wonderful 1988 RX-7. The rotary is such a peppy engine with a unique and endearing personality. The handling is wonderful and makes every trip a a riot.

Worst: My awful 1988 RX-7. The rotary is a fire hazard that never works correctly and the passive rear steering makes every corner a frightening gamble at…

Oddly enough the only Regal I’ve driven is my dad’s turbo with a manual. Not the GS, literally the entry turbo model. It’s the only manual turbo I’ve seen in the US. It’s okay, feels nimble and much lighter then it really is, but it’s clearly the model designed to spare the vertebrae of 50-60 somethings on their way…

If they cut Buick instead of turning it into the budget brand Cadillac that it should be then I’LL CUT THEM

They didn’t self balance in Akira! This isn’t the cool techno bike of the future! Where’s the red and the crazy aesthetics!?

They do in automatics. At least they did in the turbo 400.

Just to keep it short and sweet: if you haven’t been to Zion National Park: GO!

I once went on a road trip to California and drove through Utah to visit Zion National Park on my way there. I was looking for a place to stop and eat when I was in one of the emptier parts of the state and I must have past at least 6 exits with “no service” signs on them before I finally came across this tiny…

I just want to get some modern sports car styling in the muscle car scene. Ford has done better than Chevy or Dodge on that front, but I still think that the Mustang looks like something out of the early 70's FUTURIFIED to appeal to Gen-Xer’s and Boomers. The original pony cars looked modern and sporty in their day…

WHY ISN’T THE MIATA ON THAT LIST
WHO WROTE THIS
I WANT THEM PUNISHED FOR THEIR SINS
