I think the fact that it was printed at all may be the part that’s changed the most over time, as I really can’t imagine any mainstream publication giving space to this sort of delirious, delusional screed today.

They used these for years at NYC airports for “Connecticut Limousine’, which would take people to a transit station along the coast of Connecticut to be picked up, grab their car or jump on MetroNorth. I always loved seeing these as a kid!

Agreed. But they’re no more because footwells shrunk over time, and US car makers began mimicking what the Japs and Germans were doing.

I prefer the CX, the subtlety is what makes it work so well. It’s like a Frenchman sitting darkly in the corner smoking a Gauloise and watching the silly Americans drink shots at the bar, the weight of the world on his drooped shoulders but self satisfied not to be a braying jackass.

Those tail lights on the Swinger though, hoo-boy, only a mother!

People often forget that the fortunes of a big celebrity like Johansson also effect a sizable community of people who are paid to keep her celebrity bright and profitable, like a company. So it’s more accurate to say that Disney screwed the Johansson Corporation out of funds which were to be used for paying numerous…

Did someone criticize kinja?!? It never ceases to amaze me how much shade Jalopnik writers throw at various car companies/executives and yet the very thing that keeps their salaries paid is a flaming pile of camel excrement. Maybe Elon should write a piece about kinja, but I suspect he doesn’t know Jalopnik even exists…

Old People + Making Out = Not News/Gross

You may not be old enough to remember Gallagher, the “comedian” who smashes fruit, mainly. He spawned a thousand imitators in every language world wide. Just think of YouTube as Gallagher. Sure, it has matured into a good repository of videos both entertaining and educational, but at the base of it all sits a…

I feel like anyone shopping for a car who settles on a brand new Mirage maybe deserves this? Who buys a brand new economy car anyway? I’ve always assumed they all started life at Alamo or Hertz.

For some of us in the Cyber community these increasing subscriptions open up whole new possible streams of income. I suppose like Netflix and Spotify they’ve calculated shenanigans into their business model, but it’s a dick move to sell someone hardware limited by subscription. I’m aware it’s not a new phenomenon, but…

This is generally what we would call a “maquette”. Of course I’m not sure how truly to scale this thing is, but assuming he’s kept it to realistic proportions it should qualify.

Cable Management 0/10

Saturn, the vehicle of choice for low-level drug dealers/offenders, teen moms and recovering alcoholics. In fact I’m surprised they didn’t just install the breathalyzer interlock right at the factory.

A 1978 Aston Martin V8 Vantage in brg. Granted the parent is a wealthy surgeon, but still, this is just an odd choice for a 16yo. It’s terminally in the repair shop, needs everything to be custom fabricated, and although it’s quite a lovely car, everyone just thinks it’s a Fastback Mustang. So why didn’t he buy the…

I’m seeing Christine rewritten as an S-Cargo and I’m loving it! Note sent to Bangor.
