Oh, is it road-rage story time?

@Turboner: Also, GM W-body and Chrysler LH cars. The Grand Prix/ Lumina/ Regal/ Cutlass and Intrepid and its multiple clones were good cars for the 90s. The W was especially good, I guess, because GM actually put the spirit of each division into its iteration, despite them all being the same car underneath.

The General is obviously the most egregious of badge engineers. Throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, it seemed their attitude was "Well, this will sell well for Chevy — let's make an oldsmobile, pontiac, and buick version." I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Canadian-market Tempest of the late 80s-early 90s.

NP simply because for under 10 grand I could have an LS1 stingray. The wheels are godawful, though. I'd ditch them in a heartbeat.

now i see where Nissan got the inspiration for this:

@RadioFlyerPartDeux: Agreed! we need pics of the underhood of the SHOStang

I take offense to the idea that Cadillac quickly realized its folly. The damn thing was made for seven years and over 100,000 were built. From Wikipedia:

@clank-o-tron: And gladly absent from this list is the Spyker C12 exterior.

Yet another weird Japanese trend that makes my head hurt. This will hit California in a few months, and it will be in NC by 2012.

I say NP for the "Owning a Wild Bear" factor. It'll be a great ride until it rips my head off — and it absolutely will rip my head off.

I really like boobies, even in blue, but that still doesn't make me want to buy a CR-Z

I worked at a company where the executives were in the same building as the underlings. The CEO had a Bentley Continental with the company's name on the license plate, the CFO had a generic-looking Lexus LX SUV, and the executive VP drove an E60 M5. I tried to introduce myself to the executive VP on a few occasions…

To think, this could have been a LeMons car...

"I didn't wash today. I wasn't dirty. If I'm not dirty, I don't wash. Some weeks I don't have to shower at all. I just groom my three basic areas: teeth, hair, and asshole. And to save time, I use the same brush."

@tomcatt: True, this is not the heart of Malaise but it is the beginning. The cougar in question is horrid. It's like the Mustang's hot, classy sister went to college and came back 30 pounds heavier with a broken nose and crooked teeth.

@FairmontGT: and it doesn't. All the more reason to vote Pipe.

I have a ringtone that I downloaded from the Sprint Music Store over a year ago and it's unique enough that unless I'm in a place with 300 Romany punk-rockers, nobody will recognize it.

@gburke: When I was a trainer in a call center and a new trainee would leave their computer unlocked, I would flip their screen upside down or change the background to a very large fraudulent purchase to demonstrate the necessity of Windows+L whenever they'd leave their desk
