63-65 Riviera has one of my favorite dash layouts of the era. It is somehow so contemporary.

Thanks Africa. First AIDS, and now you wreck our locomotives.

Wait wait wait...

I was thoroughly shocked and disappointed to learn the SX4 didn't mean AWD. With a name like SX4 you would think AWD was standard... No. It was optional... I guess in that sense they were a little German in their naming.

What's with those headlights? Why all the bumps? They look like one of those obscure shapes they give you in geometry class and you're supposed to break it down into squares, triangles, and segments of a circle to find its area.

True.

Bianchi, the bike folks, have been sporting this color for decades. They call it Celeste. It pains me to see it on a not Biacnhi bike.

They're technically "receptacles" and just simply a "water heater." Why would you heat hot water?

Don't call it an outlet in front of an electrician. That's almost as bad as saying "hot water heater" in front of a plumber.

I always liked the Lincoln Mk VIII tail lights, and the MKX before the face and ass lift.

I'm sure it's a nice little car. But, like the 1 series, I'm sure it will be more expensive than it should be. And why? Why do they need this in the lineup?

You need to drive along the lakefront some more. Try Sheridan Road north of Willmette.

Chicago folks know...

So then, tell us what that red Pontiac is if you are so sure it is not a GTO?

I would much rather pull up in this than any recent SUV limo.

I get that it is SEMA and all... But I prefer sleepers. But can any mustang ever be a sleeper? Maybe an old beat up one...

SRT4? I dunno about that. And Coldplay? Same shit, different album.

I will say this; In my experience with underpowered or adequately powered cars, driving with a quarter tank vs full definitely feels different. Less gas, the car feels quicker and seems to handle a bit better. More gas, it feels slower and the ride is smoother but it seems like I can feel the fuel sloshing around at…

Zing!

Boiled Vienna's on a poppyseed bun! The only way to go!
