I certainly understand that people might want something else from a vehicle, but it does get annoying when the thing you want from a vehicle ceases to be offered (not that I want a stripped down truck myself)

My Dad had an ‘85 Mustang Convertible (he owned it in ‘86-’87) that looked just like this one, though it did have air conditioning. He bought it just to have a cheap convertible around to have fun in, drove it maybe four times, and then sold it to get an ‘88 Calloway Corvette convertible.

The Wolverine?

From the news video, it appears to have been a new K5 rather than a Stinger.

My wife has owned plenty of manuals on her own before she even met me, but it is rare that we both have a manual car at the same time. Neither of us really has a desire to own a Sorento, for example, with a manual transmission even if one were available. But when she bought a Mustang, she insisted on a stick.

It’s interesting to me to continue to hear about dealer shortages and whatnot after my wife decided to buy a new car last weekend. The lot we ended up at was not as fully packed with cars as you’d normally see on a Saturday in July, but they had plenty of the particular model in the particular trim level my wife was…

Though it is not as if this particular unwillingness among some dealerships to give prices except in person is unique to the current times. I have encountered this many times over the years even when car sales were in the toilet. Call the same dealership back when the shortages end, and they will have some new…

My Mom has a 2011 Avalon I’ve been trying to convince her to sell now that she’s not allowed to drive anymore.

I’m 50, and I learned this back in the late 1980s despite having lived my entire life in Texas rather than having spent the last several decades in Hollywood.

Certainly Law & Order has changed the stories so that innocent people end up guilty (their version of the Duke Lacrosse story has the athlete’s very guilty, for example), but while it’s usually pretty obvious what headlines they’re ripping from, they don’t usually go around pointing out the connection in interview and…

The likely only reason there are payments in the contract based on the theatrical box office is because they didn’t want to pay ScarJo whatever she felt her rate should be to make the movie. She allowed them to mitigate their upfront financial risk in return for some of the upside.

I was 15, but I somehow didn’t manage to see it until it came on cable a few years later. 

Maybe they can get that AFLAC duck to play Howard. People love him.

It bombed 35 years ago.

People may eventually tire of superhero movies, but even with the upcoming Marvel and DC output, we’re not anywhere near the number of westerns made in any given year during their heyday.

I (a chubby white dude) didn’t have any trouble cashing insurance checks from Geico after out local hail storm even though the checks only had my first and last name while my DL includes my middle name. Given that I have a son who shares my first and last name (but not middle), I could have been pulling the same…

The market is making me mad only because my mother shouldn’t be driving anymore but absolutely refuses to sell her car even though it will never again be worth more than it is right now.

We went an drove the new Outlander earlier this summer when my wife was wanting a new vehicle but didn’t know what she wanted. As ugly as the thing is on the outside, it’s nice on the inside - comfortable, not cheap looking, well-featured, even drove nice as those kinds of cars go - and the price was…

I’ve been pulled over for speeding quite a few times, especially when I was younger. None of those stops ever resulted in my passengers being searched and handcuffed or the police throwing what they allegedly found in a passenger’s pocket into my back seat.

My objection to the Sod Poodles name was that the owners said, “that’s what the locals call prairie dogs” and as a formal local I know that I’d never heard the term until they proposed it for the team name.
