“the gearbox... shifted too late...”

And it weighs about a thousand pounds less.

In this case, a 4,200-pound pig.

“...what does the ‘40' even mean?”

Tracy shmacy. 

“...you all are welcome to join us and discuss old Subaru vans and also socialism.”

He’s making it a lot harder than it has to be.

“Let’s not also forget his grim, Cassandra like warnings about rising shitty pizza prices if forced to provide healthcare to employees via the ACA, and his blaming of his slumping sales on Kaepernick.”

Yes. With a dash of Pinto.

“...four Corvair 140 HP High Performance Carbs, so beautiful that I literally spent weeks staring at them. Don’t judge me.”

Not Brad. She had Brad for 4 years before she wrecked the fuck outta him.

Underoos are not regulation.

I was thinking the same thing. Neither is an ugly car, but both of them are a bit too long on the ceases and chrome flourishes, like the designers didn’t quite know where to stop. 

No argument from me. If anything, the sound of a cross-plane V8 interests me less than what comes from some fours or sixes. Prolly from going up in an era where the blup-blup-blup of 60's muscle cars was more common than the sound of “foreign” MGs, Fiats, etc.

Anyone still wanting to be associated with him in 2018 either hasn’t been paying attention, or was just tacitly as much…

“...the proportions are a bit awkward... isn’t the most attractive car.”
