‘85 LeBaron convertible? Is it not a rental? Privately owned? I’d put on my big cowboy hat and drive around celebrating its specialness.

I wasn’t really making as much money as I’d expected from numbers 2-7, so I guess I’ll have to try the big number 1:

Nonsense. Budweiser is owned by InBev, which is a Brazilian/Belgian multinational beverage company. Budweiser has breweries in China, but they are owned by InBev. Budweiser is brewed in Canada by Labatt’s, but it’s not Canadian, either. Perhaps you’re confused because at one point, Anheuser Busch owned 27% of TsingTao…

something something paradise for anal enthusiasts. Rushed to BaT, left quickly, feeling disappointed and slightly disgusted.

Should take Torch along to illustrate this Old World road trip. A la Ralph Steadman drawing up Hunter S. Thompson? There I go again...

How did you see this? It’s still pending approval. I’ve been here for over a decade and still an invisible guy. Sheesh.

Oh, hell yes!

As Harry, ‘Rabbit’ Angstrom put it in ‘79:  “This is a Corolla,” Harry says, slapping orange tin. “The two-door model begins at thirty-nine hundred and will give you highway mileage up to forty a gallon and twenty to twenty-five city driving. I know some other makes advertise more but believe me you can’t get a better…

Oh, it’ll just keep getting better and better: https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-nyt-paycheck-protection-program-bailout-chinese-companies-20200802-kxajrspia5bereyovmfx46ieuu-story.html

I like Rory’s suggestion; I had a four-door of that once and loved it. In a similar vein, if that one is too understated, this is also fast and fun: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?zip=97230&showNegotiable=false&sortDir=ASC&sourceContext=untrackedWithinSite_fa…

Jalopniq?

Gut buy. I’d regret it, but I want it and I’d buy it. Love the color. Damn, now I’m looking into these.

I’m fine with the new GB/GB thing, because it makes me laugh every time I realize that Goodbye sounds a lot like Good Buy. However, I’d like to propose GB/GB/GB: Goodbye and Good Buy book-ending Gut Buy, meaning it’s not a good price or a bad price, but what the hell, I’d buy it for reasons I can’t explain; just a…

But can you really blame her? Are you aware of the pizza delivery meme in porn? (also, something something Uber Eats)

Relax. You’re not exactly wrong. In the twentieth century, it was common to use ‘ur-something’ as a way of saying it contained or expressed the fundamental essence of that type of thing, not always as meaning the original, prototypical example of it. We pick these things up almost subconsciously and use them in the…

The comfort in Seltos is at the ultimate level. The car’s premium comfort will make you comfortable. Kia has been able to cover only a minor portion of the dash in leatherette, and yet attained an experience superior to rivals who’ve used the entire sofa shop inside their cars.

Actually, 非常舒适 means very cozy or snug, which is just a literal translation of ‘tight’ steering. Comfortable is 舒服。 Close, but not the same.

But not so good for that other alignment

Yeah, I figured it’d be best to go HST-lite, since it’s possible that kids these days don’t know who he was and might be offended if I went balls-out extreme with manic alcohol/narcotic/gunplay in the interests of anti-authority humor and automotive insight. But what do I know? I’m decadent and depraved. No worries;…

Reasonably good review, Andrew, considering you made it clear at the outset that this was going to be a relatively short information dump. However, I’d love to read the article you’d have written if you’d decided to reawaken your J-school love of Hunter S. Thompson’s gonzo style, and then stayed awake all night to get…
