Proof at last!

That cave picture for the Atlas Obscura slide makes me think of a recent SNL;
“See the cave!”

Probably a precursor to Musk wanting to go into politics himself. He’s Constitutionally ineligible to be President, he likely would never win the governorship of California, and as governor of Texas he’d be an improvement over Abbott.

Interior contain parts from two cars, one black interior and one brown one.

A Citation would’ve been significantly more expensive in 1980, a class higher with a much more accommodating back seat, and a new model.

Yeah, going from real physical gauges to an LCD screen is a downgrade in my book.

Go with an off-the-shelf Stewart-Warner physical gauge speedo in a pod screwed to the top of the dash, or go home

Wow, TWO different woodgrain treatments! I expect the Monterey in the background made more sense to FoMoCo product planners than buyers - Mercury had to compete with Buick, Olds and Pontiac so the woodgrained top-trim Monterey had to compete with the Bonneville Safari while the Marquis Colony Park went after the Buick…

From contemporary road-test reports, GMs generally handled better than Fords, with (standard retail) Mopars in between (also they’d been unibody since 1960 so not quite as isolated as the GM and Ford offerings).

I missed the original question (is the interval between QOTD and slideshow getting shorter or am I just getting out more?) but of stuff not on the list I want to nominate rear bumpers scraping on  road crowns. It used to be a common problem on long, low, flat cars that entirely succumbed to fashion now that anything…

Same here, and now there won’t be any new episodes for something like 3 weeks because of the Olympics. 

Hey, the dildo costs extra. 

I’m not sure I agree on the 1987 3-series, mainly because I never noticed the facelift (I barely noticed the difference between the E21 and E30 at the time, being firmly in the camp of “those look way too boring and dated for how much they cost” at the time). They all came with four round headlights, as outdated as…

I’m still not sure Toe Rogan is even fully human.

I’ll have to admit that the pope isn’t the first person I think of when I see a white Ford Bronco.

Even with good names, too many boring non-colors and you’d be wondering what the difference is between  Settle for Silver and German Leasing Silver. 

I’d never heard of the Lister Storm in the first place. The Geo Storm fits in this crowd better, anyway;

See also; the GM SUVs whose alloys are to be dealer-installed and are shipped on steelies. Special, un-slotted steelies that can’t be used for normal driving lest the brakes overheat.
