- Packard and Toyota (on the US market) overlapped for one model year, 1958.

The one on the 2008 Toyota Yaris didn’t have a circuit to keep it lit once tripped and would flicker on sharp turns with half a tank. It’s also the same color and just next to the low-oil indicator, and given the center-pod dashboard both are at the edge of the driver’s field of vision.  

Was the scene with the kid filming Superman and asking questions in the beginning left in the Snyder Cut? Because the fan theory is that that’s a pre-puberty (and by the way he moves the camera, pre-crippling-injury) Freddy Freeman, which might point things to Philly.

I’d say, base it on car size. C-segment or smaller, back in, nose in, whatevs. D-segment or larger including ALL current USDM pickup trucks and vehicles commonly used by law enforcement, nose in, no exceptions. Bigger than a Civic, face the curb.

I was going to ask if the grille scares Otto, but he’s practically an adolescent now so I guess if anyone in the Torch household was shying away it’d be the cat.

Some of these car/song choices are kind of off. Most, anyway. How about;

1st; I can see this as an issue for commercial fleet buyers whose operating-cost numbers are figured to the penny but not so much for the typical retail pickup customer.

I’d also put in  a rear firewall if someone already hasn’t. Ford had the Better Idea of using the top of the gas tank as the trunk floor which makes such a severe fire hazard that 60 Minutes did a story about it *in the ‘90s*.

Had it even occurred to Osbourne that Morgan was maybe looking for a reason to stage a walkout and get himself fired in a way that he’d be able to go work for Rupert Murdoch without breaking his ITV contract or having to wait out a non-compete, with a splash of “Victim Of Cancel Culture” headlines on the way out?…

I like everything about this car except the “Nomad” stuff. Too much of being a square peg stuffed into a round hole. 

“Inebu-hedj style barbecue” just doesn’t have the same ring to it. 

As a member of the Honda Fit community, if I had weekend-toy-classic-car money I’d also be a member of the Corvair community. 

I’m thinking late ‘90s Buick LeSabre with the factory greige and a dark color along the sides to disguise crudely patched wheelarch and rocker panel rust.

He’s probably waiting for the Escape ST, being a Ford man

Two sales back-to-back, the red car broke down on the way home from the dealership and the couple in the beige car is already thinking they should’ve bought a Datsun.

FDR had a car with hand controls, before things like automatic transmissions, power steering and power brakes existed.

“It would be nice if I could sleep in a place where there were not cockroaches everywhere.”

“...she couldn’t seek help because...she wasn’t a senior Royal member and therefore not entitled.”

The whole Manta/Ascona line is what should’ve been the Vega. Use the round taillights on the Ascona sedan body and send it to Chevy, tweak the Manta’s front with a split-grille insert and add the Ascona’s square taillights and you have a Pontiac.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement?  Just rename them something dorkier-sounding. Migra McMigraface would work.
