“The more complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.”

I assumed that any V90s made for the Chinese market would be assembled there- I just didn’t know if Volvo would import the V90 from China for the US market like the S60 Inscription.

Obligatory “shut up and take my money,” especially after learning that the T8 will have 31 miles range on pure electric. That covers my commute to/from work.

Will these be assembled in Sweden, China, or a mix of the two?

The worst part is the six speed manual is still offered in Canada. C’mon, Subaru!

Three hours for a circumcision?

Let’s not forget his turn as Racer Steven with his Lucra, courtesy of TV On The Radio:

Here’s the original.

No, but “contemporaneous” means “from the same time-” so I was using the 1980 model as an apples-to-apples comparison. I’d say the original 2nd gen Camaro was a much better-looking car than what it became by the end of its run, too.

That’s the best a Windstar has looked for the better part of a decade.

I’d always heard that one in the context of BMWs.

The contemporaneous Firebird has aged so, so much better.

This was the punchline of many a mullet joke for a long time, but I think sufficient time has passed that we can, collectively, say, “damn. Nice car.”

You’ve got to be a little fair, here...the engineers KNEW how to create a bunch of power out of these- what they didn’t have the tech for, yet, was to produce that power without the EPA saying, “Nope.”

You just know there’s a large purse and a dog small enough to fit in that purse in that pack, too.

And a pack of Werther’s Originals.

Normally I’m all, “Yay, Raph! Your late night drunk posts are the best!”

So this is the first I’ve heard of that particular mod- what’s the advantage of one over the other?

To be fair the Mk V Golf look like this, since this predates the Mk V Golf by several years.

Normally when I see a concept hatchback or longroof that never got built (or worse, built but not sold in the States— I’m looking at you, Mondeo/Fusion and Mazda6—) I’ll shout from the rooftops about the injustice of it all.

Not here. This...this just doesn’t work. Something something proportions something oval…

There is no sales tax on clothing or food in Massachusetts, for this very reason.
