This exact car is on my list of cars I’ll buy and hoon for a bit then get bored of but I must have at some point in my life

Because no system, human, or otherwise, can test for every possible scenario.

All four of these cars are the same (W-Body). They’re all replacement models for cars that, at the time seemed staid but, looking back now were years ahead in terms of style and comfort. The only one that gets a pass is the Grand Prix, and that’s just barely.

Remote trunk release

Now that’s a retro trend I can get behind

Mmmm, eighteen-way power seats. The Bonneville was so great

You can barely tell it’s purple anymore but I’m always happy to oblige :)

Ab

God no. Six please. My Camaro ‘cruises’ at 2400 RPM in 6th at 65. 5th? That’s 3K. Fuck that noise

I hillhopped in my Cavalier so much. I blew tires, bent the f out of (multiple sets of) steelies, and the suspension components never failed

Had one of these in my youth. A 1987 CL Sedan. The 2.0 mated to an equally-tragic 3-speed auto made for, well, less than interesting driving, but you could WOT it everywhere - and I did - without incurring any issue.

The garage comment is spot on. We’ve thrown out dozens, no scores of possible homes because it won’t fit our truck

All these simple patents coming out these days

Oh god here comes ZOIDBERG

I totally agree. My car weighs 3,400 lbs and has (a conservative) 275 hp and 325 lb-ft, with a short-ratio 6MT, which is plenty good enough to scoot me to 60 in about 5 seconds

I put 3,600 lbs worth of pavers in the back of a Dakota and drove ~20 miles
