I did one time buy a car... well, my wife did... that I kind of thought was probably the stripper model they ordered so they could advertise some low price deal. It was the base model with no options added at all, and they had it sitting way back in the back corner of their lot away from any of the other cars they had…

And they know that even if there’s not such a model in existence anywhere, nobody is going to do anything about it.

The only problem I had with my Passat and my Jetta (neither of which are German luxury cars, but still German) was Daytime Running Lights having a very short life and were not easy to replace.

At least 4 carbon.

You were lucky you had a car seat. I grew up sitting on the arm rest of a 1971 Buick Estate Wagon.

My wife and I bought a used SUV and she paid extra for the interior cosmetic protection package. Said it covered everything, including stains on the seat. And then she got a stain on the seat, and they didn’t cover it.

It’s the first Wolfram & Hart clue of the series.

They should call it the Crack Pipe Package.

Pistol Pete Maravich, from the very obscure late ‘80s crossover comic: “The Avengers vs. Pistol Pete” where Vision kills Maravich after losing a pick-up game of basketball and Wanda covers it up by creating a previously unknown heart defect in Pete.

My mother used to insist on crank windows because she was afraid of driving into water above her head and not being able to get out.

Before my Dad divorced his second wife, he bought his waiting-to-be-third wife a Jaguar XJS (this being the mid-1980s) without and kind of discussion or anything.

I don’t know that there’s any small truck demand out there in sizeable numbers anymore, but I do recall that Ford used to sell over 300,000 of the smaller Rangers a year in the US while they’re under 100,000 sales for the new one per year. And 2018 was the first year Ford sold over 900,000 F150s in the US since 2005.…

Yeah, the only reason to go out on the wing of an airplane is to fight the Dad from Good Times.

They must not have the phrase “hat on a hat” in his reality.

I’m very much enjoying The Mandalorian, and I’ve never read a Star Wars EU novel or even watched any of the animated shows. I know the movies and that’s pretty much it. The appearances of characters that originated on those shows or in those books might mean more to the more-hardcore fans, but to me, there’s nothing…

I have owned three ‘80s GM cars in my life. I have now caught on. You can’t fool me a fourth time.

I didn’t buy a car with it until last year when I got a Kia.

And while Lexus also has boring alphanumeric names, they damn sure stick with their naming conventions for the long haul.

I literally thought you were joking and that picture was from an early 1990s Nissan NX1600 or something.

So the lesson is if something stops short in front of you, your insurance company thinks it better to just plow through it instead of applying the brakes.
