Nashville Hailstorm shall be the name of my bluegrass ska band. 

Well, ya...

You sound like a man who's paid for 5 tops. 

When they walk away and have left the doors open, or the lights on to name a couple. A friend and I once stopped a car that was slooooooooowly rolling backwards in a parking lot. Owner had left it out of gear with no parking brake. My buddy jumped in it and hit the brake, we pushed it back into it’s space, set the…

We fine people based on demonstrated stupidity, not (their own) perceived skill. As far as societal satisfaction for “sticking it to” someone who can afford an R8, he faces the same fine scale as the dude who couldn’t afford to easily replace his 20 year old shitcan. Some countries base fines on the driver’s income.…

When did I say 32k for a car was outlandish or that it would get you a house outright? Although in this case it is beyond outlandish, this isn’t a new car it’s a boy racer econobox, but I digress. If you aren’t laying down at LEAST 30k for a down payment on a house you are ballsier than I, and while 32k may not be…

You make a great point, but GM built so much crap from 1975 to about 2000 or so that it’s a hard reputation to shake.

Detroit. Seriously.

It's hard to argue with your logic.

Whenever one spends 32k on anything other than a house, one’s first question should be “could this possibly get me laid?” And in this case the answer is no.

“But as long as your engine’s running correctly, that’s only a possibility if the engine’s designed a certain way. Typically, with a turbocharger or very high compression.”

DiDidn’tdnt someone wreck a Camaro?

This ruined my day. Those poor Lambo owners. 

Dark grey up top, black below the pinstripe. Keep the pinstripe red. 

As much as I hate to say it cause I'm old, I really like this. I think I'd go ahead and finish the outside though. I have a feeling in a few more decades we'll be all electric, and aside from a few museum examples conversions will be the only way to keep classics on the road. 

For those who care, the Vanderbilt Parkway opened in 1908.

I've got a dollar...

72 miles each way, from St Helens Oregon to Salem. Every day for a year and a half. 2 hours through rush hour in the morning, about an hour and 40 minutes coming home (after evening rush hour.) Finally left because I was offered a job with a company 30 miles from home, and the new job came with a take home work truck.…
