Is it just me, or is the Taylor Swift coverage starting to sound like Metalocalypse? Seriously, ‘Swift saves public transportation’, ‘Swift singlehandedly saves <insert other industry here>‘, ‘Swift is basically her own economy’. It’s getting a bit ridiculous.

I do not believe I have ever witnessed such a thing. I, too, loathe most Prius drivers on the highway...but I admit that the only ones I actively notice are the multitude of them in the left lane going under the speed limit. The others are off in the right lanes driving ‘nicely’, so fall below my radar.

Cadillac Escalade...you can get an (arguably slightly more attractive) GMC Yukon equipped identically for $20k+ less...or a slightly less well-equipped Tahoe for another $5-10k less. I know cars aren’t always about value, but sometimes it’s just dumb paying so much more for literally nothing more.

YELLOW?!?!

I live in NJ and we have been the butt of jokes for decades because all most out of staters see is the Turnpike, or Rts 80 or 78...but we aren’t called the Garden State for nothing; much of the state is quite pretty, and very hilly (lots of lakes, too!). The northwest corner of the state is Sussex County, which is…

They moved and in the process ‘binned everything’? Really? A million dollar film (certainly worth something to someone)? I find that hard to believe.

As someone who owned a C4 from 2002 until last week, I can say that it is NOT a $5000 car. Perhaps to purchase one...but you will spend a lot on maintenance and repair. Oh boy, the repairs. Something broke on mine every third time I drove it. And usually nothing cheap. They are actually pretty easy to work on, though,…

PRNDL shifters in automatic transmission cars. While I prefer a stick, I do occasionally drive other people’s cars...and it sucks that I have to study the stupid auto-shifter on each one each time I drive it to attempt to suss out the correct sequence of button presses and pedal pushes required to put it in a single…

I can get on board with cloth seats...I hate leather, pleather, whatever, I like cloth. But I also like sport seats, too. My 99.5 Audi A4 had awesome sport seats, in a nice jacquard style black cloth, with heat! Darn near perfect seats.

Little flip-down sun visors above the rear view mirror. While a lot of cars have huge plastic things chock full of sensors blocking that spot now, many don’t...and those little visors on various cars (especially VAG products) were just great, as the sun picks that very spot to shine through my windshield at three…

When you turn across the road into another road or a driveway, do not immediately stop or slow down a lot just because YOU are across the road and ‘safe’...there is still 10 feet of car sticking out behind you, moron! I have lost track of the number of times people have shot across the road in front of me ‘just in…

If you are at a Yield sign and there is nobody coming, GO. To yield requires two parties...if there ain’t anyone to yield to, you don’t yield. If you needed to stop, they would have put a Stop sign there, idiot.

It put the nation on wheels, end of story.

This is horseshit...there have been repeated tests done that show donut spares are far more capable than people give them credit for. This wasn’t a result of a donut spare, this was the result of someone driving like an idiot.

Guess it wasn’t ‘famous’ enough. There are a ton that should be on the list, especially if the title is ‘worst crashes’...as someone else pointed out, Earnhardt’s crash was NOT horrific at all, which is why the result WAS horrific.

Didn’t Irv Gordon have something like 3 MILLION miles on his 66 Volvo P1800S?

For those interested, here’s an awesome write-up about the Mountain Man:

Wow...there were some great replies in here! I was expecting the usual 90s/00s crap, but you guys delivered some excellent 70s and 80s goodies...thanks!

Came to post this...you beat me to it. The absolute best car toy ever, and I had lots of them. The big reason was that you could WORK ON IT...not just play with it. You could remove parts and replace them, and it was designed that way on purpose (‘cause, let’s face it, we ALL took apart some of our cars...few of which…

That Grand Prix gives a new meaning to the NASCAR slur about ‘Skittles circling a drain’...
