Studebaker was in business making vehicles for 115 years (1852-1967). How is that considered a failure?

That exterior door handle thing though was just stupid.

No. The Tesla drove under the tractor-trailer because A) The Tesla doesn’t react to stationary objects to avoid thousands of false positives like road signs, trees and objects on the outside of a curve, etc. They detect moving objects very well though. B) The truck was someplace that it didn’t belong. C) The trailer…

This one is pretty close.

Yes, I just go ape over these little Bianchina Cabriolets.

Maybe something like this would be more to your liking?

Don’t try to reinvent the wheel, Jason. We already have blinker fluid. Mine’s still clean, but a low right now (see below). Time to head to Kaleco auto parts. I need to get some new cross-drilled brake lines and a metric Crescent wrench set anyway.

I’m definitely not a communist, maybe a little socialist, but sometimes you look at capitalism practices and just go “boy this is fucked”.

You want useless gauges? How about a tach in a 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis? It’s not like it even moves a lot either. At 80 mph it’s only turning over around 1,950 rpm.

Many of my 50's and 60's Oldsmobiles had a “COLD” light that would stay green until the engine warmed up.

I can only assume that they didn’t have their “avoid ferries” option checked.

The last time this happened, the National Weather Service got pretty creative with their weather forecasts.

Looks like it might work pretty well, but it ate right through that girl’s fender. Must be some really nasty stuff!

Too bad we all have to drive little cars these days. My little 2007 MGM is only 212" long and 78" wide. Drives pretty good when I can squeeze into it.

It’s a 2007 Grand Marquis GS with 38,500 on it when I bought it this past July. No options except for the leather. Perfect shape. Looks and drives like a new car. Good Carfax. I paid $6500 not including tax, title, and bullshit dealer crap. Final price was just over $7K. It was a fair price, but not the screaming…

I’m going to guess that since the police needed a license plate number to put on the ticket, they discovered the prank when they tried to brush the snow off the the license plate, only to find more snow. I wonder how far they dug?

Full of Miracle-Gro I assume....

One nice thing about that rat rod is that when it craps out on you next month you can always turn it into a BBQ grill and a flower bed. Re-purpose.
