I just want to say, that bench seats are sooo much better for the old make-out spots of yore than these elaborate and sometimes paralyzing buckets+consoles comboes we have today.

"You see her? That what bench seats are for!"

"Oh stop!"

Put a little tiny man in yer butt.

I loved that doc!

Hated it. Ugliest mess ever, worse than the AZTEC imho.

My first year of non-key-borrowing driving (minus some time for a license lost), was spent in a 1976 Pontiac Catalina, the Bonneville's poorer sibling. It was the 4-door sedan/barge, and it was nearly a foot longer than my father's '88 Chevy Caprice Wagon (8 or 10", I forget). Mine had the Pontiac 400 (2bbl carb),…

^ This is the perfect comment.

It looks like a hamster, or a gerbil. Do those look different from each other? Chinchilla maybe? What is that giant rat? Maybe a ROUS? Nah, that's not "cute" enough. Definitely hamster or gerbil.

Wow, 144 people bought Encores!!! Go Buick!!!

Add my name to the list of people that don't come to jalopnik for war coverage. I'm not as rigidly against it as some, but I have different sites I visit for that specifically.

T72's have a two stage autoloader. The first puts a projectile in the chamber then the second stages adds the charge. The Projectile and the exposed propellent are kept in a rotary magazine below the gun. Theoretically, if no projectile had been loaded to block the chamber, a grenaded could easily go straight to…

I understand it takes a lot of energy to tilt the damn things, but the internet is worth it.

Looks like a T72 to me, but I would have thought that the autoloader on those would prevent this kind of attack from being successful, unless you got it in the magazine by dumping the 'nade withing moments of it's firing. But I'm working from old data here.

Ack, I fail with a 40%. 3, 4, 7, 9. But I know where I could get a hold of 2 and 10, and I bet I could pay someone at an autocross event to let me have a few minutes of wheel time with their Miata. I might be able to make a passing grade someday!

The main difference between the CJ/YJ and their successor (TJ) is leafs versus coils. As a guy who has had both, I don't think I'd rely on leaf springs as a key element of the "Real Jeep" definition. The TJ's make great jeeps, and the newer JK's are complete beasts when they aren't burning to the ground for no good…

Mmmm, rubber.

As a man who is unlikely to ever have to make the purchasing decision between either the Bugatti Veyron or the Hennessey Venom GT, I love them both equally and unconditionally and for exact same reasons. Because awesome.

Well, that's a tough endorsement to overcome with my lack of overall experience with either the Hilux or the Defender, so I think I'm just going to ignore it.

Part of me loves this car. Another part of me hates that part of me. But all of me wonders how to pronounce it.
