Those poor people...

I’d ban tactical stuff because it's tacky. If you're going to LARP, have some style.

For the life of me, I cannot see a Crosstrek without this song starting to play in my head....

My mom went from its platform-mate Granada (‘81) to an ‘88 Reliant. She would agree that the K car was a step up.

I can directly compare a K to a Zephyr too.

I like it. I really like it.  I 1979 like it.  But I don’t $13,500 (U.S.) like it.

In my youth, I had an 8-track recorder. To make it even more awesome, it was by Realistic from Radio Shack. My nerd-dom knows no boundaries.

I had this exact car right down to the plaid upholstery as an ‘80 Zephyr. It had the venerable 300" 6 and automatic. I was selling for a wine importer at the time - the car was a lease. It was...okay. Later in life I found myself in a K car which was way better - considering it’s place on the automotive food chain.

Now playing

Yeah. Sure. Whatever. I don’t want to talk about that.

This is where mass EV adoption is likely to happen. If the bean counters determine that a bunch of these are cheaper to run than whatever old thing they are currently buying, they’ll start buying these, and no amount of Internet whiners will stop it from happening.


Don’t ask why, but I don’t think I’ll get to excited about this segment until we get an Elf entry. Ooooh, or an Elf bus entry. I obsess about these which I can probably blame on Tomica. Now that I have a little one, its amazing how everywhere these previously perfectly invisible little medium trucks really are.

Please let it just be an electric appendage to a Chevy Express.

It's in Kill Devil Hills, adjacent to the Wright Brothers Memorial. It's woody, and swampy, snake and poison ivy filled, so it's perfect. 

I figured the Hemi V8 swap would make it worth it.  Sadly there is no Hemi V8 swap.

I was kinda on the fence until that “no low ballers” bit, then I was “fuck ‘em”. ND, if seller wants to be an asshole then I’ll be an asshole back.

They probably wont even staff or use the research lab. It’s just there for warm feelings as the rich folks plunk down deposits to escape reality while the world burns.

Notwithstanding all the marketing puffery, there’s nothing sustainable about this. A half-baked ‘lab’ to study climate change in a giant floating luxury condominium? Complete bullshit.

Putting the deposit down now. Sure, mock me. But when the rising sea levels turn your apartments into human aquariums I’ll be hanging out with Kevin Costner and Mr. Limpet on the open seas enjoying a nice plate of fish with a side of fish fries and a tall glass of fish juice. SEA ya!

I get pulled over all the time. They think I must be drunk because no sober person would drive a 1964 Corvair!

As long as it also addresses the huge number of idiots who are looking at their phones while driving.
