No, those were H-bodies, related to the Vega.

Also, Vauxhall Chevettes had a much better face than American ones.

I wonder what it would say if you tried pairing an apple with milk. 

No. No, it does not.

In the future, respect my rights and no one else’s.

If you’re thinking of what carving (jack o’ lantern) pumpkins smell like, those aren’t the ones used for cooking.  They’re stringy and watery and don’t taste all that great.  The small “pie” pumpkins that show up in the fall are the ones to use, but they’re not all that different from acorn or butternut squash in…

it’s an effect of the evaporator coil.  back in the Olden Days (TM) evap coils used to be made out of copper and/or brass.  copper has antimicrobial properties which inhibit stuff from growing on it.  When they switched to aluminum is when things got squiffy.  Aluminum is inert on the surface, so the frequently damp…

Hamtramck is named for the French-Canadian soldier Jean François Hamtramck, who was the first American commander of Fort Shelby, the fortification at Detroit.

if they’re looking at the headrests, I wonder if something in there is reacting with owners’, er, natural funk.  Garlic/rotten egg smell is usually sulfur; but selenium and tellurium compounds can do it too.   Though I doubt there’s tellurium involved...

I’ve learned to be careful with these.  at least with Truly and White Claw, the taste of alcohol is almost non-existent, and the lack of sugar makes them so light you can get beyond squiffed before you know it.

How well do the all-touchscreen controls on the center stack work in practice? I thought their “Virtual Cockpit” HMI was fairly good a few years ago, but they still had real buttons below the MMI screen.

I always thought it was just flavored corn syrup water, but apparently it has more actual juice in it than I thought.  does have a good bit of added sugar, still.

Being the working mom of two adolescent boys during a pandemic has been one of the most harrowing experiences of my life,

this. I hated how the commercials showed little Jennifer and Scott Perfection nailing the straw right into the pouch, while it never did anything but either bend/break the straw or stretch like Implied Kappa describes.

I remember reading somewhere that the Thunderbird you were standing in front of was originally intended to be a Lincoln.  Or that they were thinking of spinning Continental off into a brand and that would have been one of its models.  

From 1995-2000 they were selling at a rate of about 200-250,000 cars a year (Dodge and Plymouth combined.)  Your claim to have “never seen one until 2006" just sounds like typical Internet Person bullshitting. 

I hate how the first step in so many advice articles is “factory reset the phone.” 

yep, autocorrect remains the one thing iOS is completely out to lunch on. I don’t know how many times I’ve wanted to yell “how in the hell did you think that was the word I meant?” at my phone.
