What’s this “we?” Time and again I see it coming down to the most conservative Democrat in the Senate obstructing progressive change because he’s having so much fun playing de facto prime minister. Before Manchin it was Joe Lieberman.

Mine went to Latin honors a few years ago, a theoretically unlimited nuber of students can graduate magna/summa cum laude if they meet the standard. I’m not sure how they choose who gets to make the speech at graduation.

The F150 comes as a regular cab/shortbed (6' box), a rare configuration nowadays but the “base” one. 

And they avoided the temptation to come up with a catchy acronym that’s spoiled when it’s no longer luxury-division-exclusive and filters down to the mass-market brand. If anything “Toyota Teammate” has a better ring to it because of the alliteration.

“Only” a full ashtray that had been full the entire time I owned the car. It was on the back of the console for the rear passengers, and I didn’t even know it was there. (who the hell thought passengers crammed in the back of a 2-door Geo Metro needed an ashtray!?!) So that’s why it still reeked so bad on warm, wet

On the one hand, it’s true that Torch’s taste in cars doesn’t jibe with the mainstream new-car buyer, or our streets would be filled with 35-50hp shitboxes with the footprint of a twin-size bed, manual absolutely everything and jellybean colors. On the other hand, I’d rather live in that alternate universe than the

He actually sells “Covid Tour” T-shirts listing the places he’s done A Late Show from like stops on a concert tour, complete with opening act (“Your Local News”).

If this is unacceptably innovative, so was Bill France Sr’s idea of assigning a number to a driver for their whole career instead of doing what the sports-car guys up north and hot-rod guys out west were doing and numbering the cars in the order they arrived at the track on race day.

Don’t forget to throw a coat or something over the 240,000-mile-long carbon nanotube line so that if it snaps it doesn’t fly off into somebody’s face. 

Except that the stock Trivan wasn’t a flatbed (or a van, either); it had a pickup box with a (full-width) raised rear section like the contemporary Corvair 95 pickup.

I was wondering how anyone could be in the top job at ITAS other than Torch himself?

Neutral: Anecdotally I’d say the Bolt has been, I see more of them around than any other EV unless you lump both generations of Leaf or all Tesla models together.

Bullet proof glass and armor plating” is the reason not to buy an old classy one. If you’re the sort of person who needs that kind of protection, you can’t really trust your getaway and life to a ‘58 Silver Cloud’s Lucas electrics that may have been better than what you’d have gotten in a Morris Minor, or may not

FWIU the TC was delayed by several years due to the production arrangements and blind-leading-the-blind issues. It was supposed to appear *before* the much cheaper LeBaron that looked just like it, alongside the older LeBarons that were just Reliants with all the Brougham crap Lee could throw at them. 

MG Midget.

“Kurumanaica” is somehow derived from “kuruma” which is Japanese for “car”.

Marketers have convinced us that plastic means rugged, when actually it’s just the new fake-wood paneling.

Yeah, until Torch mentioned it I was thinking America’s store-brand Phantom starts at $30k.

It’s not *quite* accusing someone of Nazi sympathies because they once owned a VW Beetle made in the ‘70s, but it’s only a step or two removed from it.
