And in the time they spend sending you pictures and you spend making up your mind and finding a day to come over there to see it in person and arrange a PPI... someone local will have walked in and bought the thing without them even having to try. If it’s a good enough truck to be worth making the trip to look at,…

That could’ve been a very bad wedding day if that Aveo had made it past the gate before sliding across the median.

Argh! Don’t let my wife see this. She’s already paranoid about being under or on bridges and overpasses. Now road signs too!

You need an Allante badge for an ATS. That badge belongs on a CTS.

Shhhh...! You can’t be giving away our secrets like that. Running SFC in safe mode is, like, 95% of how I fix Windows computers that I can’t fix by restarting them.

I like your thinking.

We just bought a LaCrosse Premium about two months ago and there were some new 2017s still sitting around on dealer lots while the 2019s were starting to roll in (uh, yeah, probably part of why that model is getting the ax). The deals on the 2018s were better because, as you say, all the incentives had long evaporated…

Ugh, that body kit.

Install a Honda generator in the trunk with an extension cord running out to the charging port. Rules satisfied! 

It’s a chalkboard but that’s pretty much what my paint looks like as the clearcoat burns off.

I’m going for tableau noir chic on my Mustang. The roof and hood are complete and now it’s working its way down the pillars and tops of the fenders. A few more summers worth of sun and it’ll be ready for the show circuit.

When it comes to some of the stuff the German luxury makes do to differentiate themselves and create the next trend, I am reminded of Star-Bellied Sneetches.

Diamond stitched leather looks like a 1970s landbarge’s outdated baroque luxury appointed interior trying to look like a piece of furniture you might find in a 19th century smoking parlor.

Every layer of abstraction between your hand and the guts of the transmission move it further and further from a pure manual and the more of the process that is automated, the more of a, uh, automatic it is.

Completely flat floors were one of the highly touted benefits of FWD in the early days but then everyone realized that a tunnel, even a modest one, added a lot of strength and rigidity to a unibody and also provided a convenient place to tuck exhaust pipes and other various lines and hoses so tunnels started…

Russian or not, once a car’s been in a strawberry field, it’s ♪strawberry fields’ forever♫

Punch your VIN in their computer and see its history?

Mercedes loves to claim a bunch of firsts for airbags and act like they invented them but the 944T indeed had driver and passenger airbags standard first and the Big 3 were playing with them in the early 1970s.

Honestly, that looks pretty great. Future car may have turned into a cannoli but he would’ve looked like the inside of a pepperoni pizza roll if he’d crashed the 442 like that.

How could I leave out the Carrera GT(S)s!
