The thing that always gets me about the fake portholes is there's supposed to be one per cylinder, so a six-cylinder should have three on each side...but invariably you'll see people with four per side on a V6, or 3 per side on a 4-cylinder (did the PT Cruiser come with a V6?). I actually saw a guy in a 4-cylinder…

I think the one exception to this would be if you drove a large SUV and tasetfully spelled out "CANYONERO" on the back.

A companion dog skeleton curled up in the seat would be a nice touch.

Maybe I should talk to him about swapping for my El Camino; looks like he'd be a prime candidate.

It's not you.

Agreed; the title of this should be "These Are The Top Ten Car BRANDS Cheating Spouses Drive". And even then, these are probably the top ten brands driven by men/women, so statistically this tells you nothing. Sort of like the health statistics that try to horrify us because "30% of Americans are obese"...which…

I'm sure this episode has also been posted here somewhere:

Agreed. I actually watched a couple of these just to catch a glimpse of Randy's.

A decade or more ago I said something to my wife about guys who drove sports cars compensating for something else, and that the men who really had it going on drove station wagons, because they didn't need to drive a car that made up for their shortcomings. Then a few years later, I wanted to buy a used Taurus…

I noticed the other day on carfax that you now have the option to search for cars by their license plate number, as well as their VIN (which was the standard before). I thought that was odd, but I plugged in my own plates and it correctly identified my vehicles. A little creepy, though for a car nut trying to…

Same thing I thought of; you must be old too! That happened right after I'd moved to Bloomington to go to grad school, so I remember it very well.

I honestly don't know; I just remember at the time I wanted to be able to seat six (so if my parents came to visit we could fit everyone into one car), and I wanted the 3.8l engine, so I ended up special ordering a base model 2000 Impala (which was the only way to get the bench seat), and then loading it out to the…

Wonder if there'll be a front bench option; one of the attractions to a larger sedan is the ability to seat six (or at least it was to me when I bought my 2000 Impala back in the day).

As folks with an iPhone know you can do the same thing through a free service with them; the problem with the GM version is it's tied to the car, and if I were a teen doing something I didn't want my parents to know about, I'd park at the movie theater, and then get in someone else's car to go to the big party. So I…

"Sesna" = "Camero"

I was in grad school from 1987-1989. I remember us being forced to use this "electronic mail" for departmental correspondence, because it was going to be a "big deal" and we needed to be exposed to it. It even allowed you to communicate electronically with people on other college campuses, if they happened to be on…

I've wanted to buy some of those stick-on "chrome" letters at AutoZone and spell out "CANYONERO" on the back of my SUV, but it's a Jeep Patriot, so in my mind anyone who got the joke would know that would be better suited to a Commander; so I've never done it. I think this K-car conversion is funny though, even…

Or just have one of these in your pocket instead of a knife; then you can unscrew the innards of the valve stem and suck it like a teat.

It's like the worst of both worlds; for $15k I could probably find a late '60s-early '70s convertible in daily driver condition...or I could probably find a decent Blazer of the same vintage (and probably 4WD). But this kind of strikes me as sort of Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet, a mix of everything but not really…

Here's a link to the full episode; the way they edit the crash sequence it looks pretty realistic. I forget how many windshields they went through in shooting this; we had a mobile auto glass company there loaded with windows for this particular vehicle, and they'd crash it, back it up, replace the glass, and do it…
