It took a lot of scrolling down to get to the point where someone finally said “I allowed children in my car”. Between siblings and step-siblings I have 12 nieces and nephews. I have seen a lot kids puke in cars, and I’ve seen a lot of old sippy cups of milk baking in the cupholder during the Arizona summer. As…

Not so much now, but when they were younger I used to take a positive delight at giving my sisters’ kids a ton of soda and candy and all sorts of trash food, before handing them back to be driven home. My nieces and nephew knew me as the cool auntie, my sisters, they did not think it so much. I think if my sisters…

I test-drove an Infiniti once (I know) and after I determined that it was a heavy, slow, dated piece of shit and declined to buy it, they refused to give my car or keys back until I threatened to call the police.

Reverse:  Years ago a friend’s boss handed AOL trial CDs as a “Christmas bonus”.  In a totally unrelated story, boss’ tires were slashed that week.  

“Over 40% of Nissan buyers have a fixed address!”

It’s so gratifying to see nearly every Nissan across the model line so well represented on this list.

Those grilles are the tribal tattoos from 20 years ago. I hardly see a Wrangler without one these days. 

Amen. My trackbike hauler Transit 250 had a “Superleggera” vinyls on the front doors and it generated almost as many giggles as my racing career.

I don’t know, but if they are, I’d say the NFL’s concussion protocols could use a little work.

And it’s almost ALWAYS either Acura badged Hondas, or AMG badged 3-digit Mercedes models. 

Counterpoint: I love when people upbadge so obnoxiously it’s obvious it’s not true. I put hellcat badges on my Chrysler 200 a while back. Still think its funny. My Transit Connect has SVT Cobra badges all over it

“Two things: 1) No one would notice or care except for a car enthusiast, and 2) a car enthusiast will know it’s fake and write you off as a complete douche.”

Using badges to unsuccessfully turn your car into one that was not sold in your region. Case in point: I saw an Acura RSX the other day, with what clearly looked like a homebrew job of removing the Acura and RSX logos and replacing them with a Honda and Integra badge.

Fart can exhausts or any exhaust that makes you proud of your car exhaust sounding like gun shots.

Who’s cross-shopping a Maserati and a FR-S?

Ugh. This is a spectacularly shitty take.

You guys are really struggling for material, eh? It’s a (relatively) low-mileage, very low-price (for the brand, package and even the model year) performance-luxury oddity. Yes, you can buy any number of different cars for the money (most of which wouldn’t actually offer either the performance or the luxury, btw -…

“Should we include include a picture of the old logo that we are referencing?”

He still owns the JJJ role.

Lots of relatively benign, somewhat crunchy, nominally centrist types took hard right turns during the pandemic. It broke a bunch of brains.
