Well, I did get out of bed this morning and think, “You know, it’s time to buy a rally car.”

I probably didn’t need to know that website existed...

Will this also apply whenever I have enough disposable income to acquire a diesel AWD Porsche Cayenne and make it my committed offroader?

My wife just said, “What is wrong with you? Nothing can be that funny!”

As a former English adjunct, the vocabulary in this post is absolutely enthralling!

Hey, let’s not denigrate hippos now!

And I immediately bought the game after I read that, too.

My third car was a ‘64 Sedan de Ville. 8 mpg, if I was lucky. Miss it so much.

Oops:

This set also exists—although I don’t know if it has hit the US yet. It seems a little more suited to the young Jalopnik reader-in-training.

Felt the same way, and I’ve been in another state for 12 years. I had to go back and watch it again for the nostalgia rush.

Vans, or van-shaped things. Also Cadillac hearses and the occasional Lancia Stratos. Sometimes my adolescence playing Car Wars takes over, too.

I’ve always wanted to play a character whose goal in life was to eat one of everything.

I just realized that the acronym for this new “Make America Strong Again” slogan would probably be pronounced “massa.”

No Panther Pink, no sale.

Funny, I saw Herbie in Texas earlier this week, on the road between Moody and McGregor.

I’m pretty sure I learned this from Deathproof.

I tried with Armada...but no.

I haven’t read the book and I don’t plan to see the movie. The way it uses fandom makes me feel dirty about having enjoyed these things—sort of like how I feel about the references that show up as throw away “jokes” in Family Guy. And now I feel like I even have to look askance at Real Genius. That was MY movie,

They did when I was a TPS (Target Protection Specialist), but that was...yikes, 15 years ago. And no, I never got the chance to use that training.
