My favorite example of a car explosion is from the forgotten Richard Moll (Bull from Night Court) 1987 movie Survivor, where the only thing I remember about the movie is that pretty much every single car explodes for almost no reason. The best was in a car chase where the driver loses control, gently goes down a…

My first car was a 2001 Intrigue. Great car for the money with lots of options and an engine that never complained. Didn’t even have the window regulator issues you guys noted.

It truly belongs in the Louvre.

Okay, maybe not a Miata, but howabout the upcoming 2019 Mazda3? The 2.0L engine is supposedly making a pretty impressive (for a non-turbo) 185-ish HP, with better fuel economy than the previous-gen 2.0L. Sure its no Speed3, but should still be a pretty fun car to drive.

You can also get a CPO 2015 A3 TDI with 1/5 the mileage for at least $6k less anywhere across the country. Unless this Audi Supertech is offering free maintenance for the next 2 years, and for some reason “upgrading” to a manual is worth $6k to you, this is just crazy CP.

In the 80s, the Lamborghini Countach was without a doubt the coolest vehicle ever made, or will ever be made. I still stand by that.

My favorite ad I saw recently was something like:

The ONLY decent argument I’ve seen where Standard is better than Metric is that for construction, many carpenters in Canada (theoretically metric, but we have a lot of hold-overs) use standard because measuring tape with 1/16" divisions is more precise than mm. 

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you’re gonna see some serious shit.

My buddy in high school had a Shadow Turbo, or whatever it was called. It was pretty good for peeling out (well as good as could be expected for a FWD K-Car), at least until he disintegrated the transmission.

My parents had a 1987 Olds Cutlass Supreme Sedan (in Olive Green!) back in the 90s, which was the last model year for the boxy, RWD sedan. This was the epitome of boring. An anemic V6 (~110 HP) on a huge car, mated to a super slushy 3-speed automatic. The interior was almost exactly the same as the old Pontiac Parisien…

Some people believe Kurtz to be the true genius behind Star Wars, though I think this gives him too much credit and Lucas too little. However, he did play a huge part in getting Star Wars even made, and was able to reign-in some of Lucas’s more hair-brained ideas, which is something Rick McCallum was not able (or…

Make it even bigger, raise it a bit, throw on AWD, and call it the Mustang Venti Coupe.

Holy doodle, that’s a tiny rear window.

How the hell are Star Wars “fans” not even in the bracket? Did they get a bye to the finals, or were they disqualified since the raucous ones clearly don’t even like the franchise??

It’s not her stage-name, it was an American name chosen by her parents so that she would have an easier time fitting in. It may very well be her given name on her birth certificate for all we know, with that or Loan as her middle name. This is a fairly common practice for immigrants and their American-born children as…

Why wouldn’t she?

It’s specifically to bring people to and from the stadium during games. How many people are going in the opposite direction before the game starts?

It doesn’t quite make the list since it aired its full first season, but yeah, not giving it a second season was a travesty. I would have loved to see what they did without having that whole Kimmy subplot dragging everyone down.

This particular car is from Vancouver, and while they get a lot of rain, there is almost no snow, so no salted roads. The undercarriage should be fine.
