Back around when I got my license in the late 90's, my second car was a 1991 Camaro RS Convertible with a 305 V8. My friend also had the same year and motor in T-Top form. Being my young, ignorant self, I was a muscle car guy through and through and poked fun at japanese cars every chance I got. We both thought we…

I'm not sure if I like his honesty or if I think he's complete ass. I'm simultaneously thankful for the information and I also never want to speak to him. I think he reinforced everything I ever thought about a car salesman.

I would totally watch Darth Vader cook a turkey with force lightning then carve it with his lightsaber.

My workdays have become less and less productive ever since I started reading FA. Great work, it is always well thought out, well written and very informative. Thank you for the hard work that you put into this site.

really cool stuff Tyler, but I'm not sure blackbird stories are going to get you views...its a pretty obscure and unpopular topic on the internet, especially gawker networks

Oh! I see that now. Looks almost like a mannequin arm or something.

I thought they were called 'Jesus handles'.

Although I'm a big weenie at heart, I'm also 6'4", have a goatee and a shaved head. When I encounter the douchies above, especially the ones who like to make stupid comments then ask a question, I promptly say "nyeh po inglesk," then rattle off russian phrases I know from playing 10 years of Battlefield games while…

I am, I suppose, an outlier. I grew up in Oklahoma (not precisely the world center of progressive thought), and was raised by conservative Christians. Thankfully, they were also thoughtful, intelligent parents who enjoyed classic science-fiction and fantasy novels. I was introduced to D&D by my uncle, which likely…
