I actually saw a convertible version of one of these in Portland yesterday and was both shocked that it existed and that it looked really good. And yellow.

There’s a word in Japanese for ‘beautifully ugly’ which sort of implies ‘it’s so wrong it works’. I sometimes wish we had an English word for that. Bugly? Nah.

You mean driving while black? I heard that could be a problem sometimes...

Actually, with the malaise-era engine in this bird, it wasn’t really able to pass as much as it looked like it would.

I don’t love the color, but love the car. Good call.

How about that ‘84 Mustang SVO? Boring my shiny metal ass.

Oh. Nice!

Sorry, didn’t see you already posted this. Thanks.

Charge his family for the bullet? (look it up)

Ouch. Nice.

Jeez, Rob. I’m surprised that someone with your usually wonderful way with words would so strikingly misphrase ‘There’s no replacement for displacement’. Otherwise, there’s always the lowbrow, ‘There’s no substitute for inches’. No matter; you’re still heads and shoulder above the rest.

Jeez, Bradley, you’ve got quite the hater brigade. I’m glad you’re back. For what it’s worth, I think we should do a proof of concept for this canal by first building one across the top of Florida. Think of all the time and money saved by not having to sail all of the way around it. Plus there’s the sad possibility…

Don’t forget improperly placed apostrophes

Thank you for carrying the mantle of pedantry today. I woulda if you didnae

John Voight, it turned out, despite the GIF

I once got into an elevator at the Sears Tower just after Bob Hope stepped out. Should I have bought it? It’s probably a faster and more interesting vehicle than this one if celebrity provenance is all that matters.

There’s simply no way that’s true. Oh, wait; I heard two percent of US GDP flows through McDonald’s every day. Another new fact just created for all of ya.

Heh, not a pun. A pun would be a humorous use of a word which sounds similar to one being used. Your use of piss and shit in the same discussion is only a vaguely amusing coincidence. How can you not be embarrassed by how uneducated your writing is? This pun thing is just today’s example. Do you just expect to grow up…

You say Dodge has sold a metric ton of these to frugal families. That made me curious, so I did the math. A metric ton is 2204 pounds. This vehicle weighs 3818 pounds. Therefore, Dodge sold 0.577 of these. Not as many as you’d think at first thought.
