Please, oh please let them try to change the oil next.

So why would you buy a car that isn’t a BMW E9 coupe?

There’s more dialogue in the trailer than there was in the whole of Fury Road.

In airliners with “glass cockpits,” where a wall of gauges is replaced by a single EICAS screen to monitor vital engine speeds and temperatures, the important info is still related with circles and needles. Turns out these are the best and easiest to read for someone who needs to be intuitively familiar with a system.

When I think of what Nissan could have been...

Witness him!

There's so much NB in here.

The Miata hasn't weighed as little as this car since 1994, when they first introduced dual air bags and additional side-impact protection.

Go home, BMW, you’re drunk.

The creasing makes this unnecessary aero-junk look like a 1-2” thick slab of plastic.

That green car at the left knows what’s coming.

That ‘99 NB looks pissed as hell.

Yes, this is tacky, but it’s not the ugliest car in production today. Everything from the Altima down in the Nissan family looks like a Friday afternoon sheet metal assignment from the boys at the local community college.

Oh, that’s the easy part.

To be specific, it looks like Oldsmobile Cutlass from the B-pillar forward (rounded upper door corner), and Pontiac Grand Prix for the C-pillar and rear windows.

It’s one of these, I know it...

Look at this bad-ass schlubby dude with a youth-minister goatee.

His brow is all creased up from frowning so much.

I love that one anecdote refers to the “’real’ mechanics” at “JiffyMonkeyPlus” who inevitably help you ruin your car, and the very next comes from a tire tech (at JiffyMonkeyPlus?) that gets irritated at “professors” who might want to watch their older European cars get serviced.
