@bzr: Diablo Lamborghini would be more appropriate. I pass this dealership every weekday on my way to work and back. Tons of things in this area are called "Diablo" because of nearby Mt. Diablo. Diablo Magazine, Diablo Vista Middle School, Diablo Cleaners, etc. I think people around here are so used to seeing it that

@olds: Lead is for painting toys not making batteries!

Why is there a toolbox where then motor should be?

@jarque: I forgot Lincoln has the Navigator & Town Car so that leaves just Hummer.

@klausonline: Saturn, Cadillac (Escalade only), GMC, Pontiac (Torrent). So all of them I think except Lincoln & Hummer

@Bumblebee: I'm 27 and pretty much addicted to facebook. I'm not going to comment from there though because I don't want to bore my friends. If there is a Jalopnik story I think would interest them I post it to my facebook page by clicking on the facebook icon below the story

See? I told you that would buff right out. Thank you shamwow!

If Chrysler goes under their suppliers are pretty much screwed. Maybe they are making the situation worse intentially to spur Washington into action. You know, like hacking off your arm to get to the head of the line in the emergency room.

The idler pulley: seems like a pretty insignificant part until it fails. One seized up in the old Voyager my friend and I borrowed from his Dad to take on a roadtrip leaving us stranded outside of Cortez, CO. We had it towed to the dealership but of course the service department was closed. A salesman told us the van

I took my still pretty new GTI on our first real road trip together for my birthday last year in May to Yosemite. The day I was to leave I returned to where my car was parked to discover that someone had covered the roof and back window with maple syrup. My theory is that someone wanted to trick the bear population

You can take a good ol' boy from Kentucky and dress him up in Armani but he's not going to pass for a suave Italian even if he can bench 300 pounds.

@Picarso: Imagine the donkage potential! If I weren't on deadline with my boss looking over my shoulder I'd photochop some 40s on there. Someone will hear the call…

I'm always entertained by ads where a guy blames his wife and/or kids for selling the car. "The wife said no so it's gotta go!"

American Ford lovers get their revenge for the lack of Euro models brought to the US. If we can't have them, no one can!

If Ferrari purists don't consider the Dino to be a true Ferrari does that make a faux Dino more or less offensive to them?

Italdesign Nazca C2. Looks like a Jaguar XJ220 got it on with a E39 5 Series.

@timtoolman: I had to look up what "bollard" meant out of curiousity. Now I know a new word, thanks.

Dave knew he shouldn't mess around with a Kuga, but she seduced him with her sophistication and flashy good looks. When her monthly maintenance didn't come as expected the Kuga realized the full implications of their actions. She wanted to abort but Dave, being a stout evangelical, cried foul. Nine months later the

I'd rather have the Lincoln Mark VIII-chero
