If it was good enough for Neil Armstrong, it’s good enough for me.

Bingo - buy a hatchback and come to grips with the fact that being lifted slightly, heavier and having less cargo room is not a solid purchase choice.

A Small Crossover That Doesn’t Suck

You hate the cartoon that literally says, “You’re free to say what you want, but others are free to tell you to fuck off.”?

God I hate that cartoon.  A real duffer from normally solid XKCD that conflates free speech with the 1st Amendment.  The 1st Amendment is simply our attempt at protecting free speech, with a body of jurisprudence clarifying our legal system’s take on it.  Free speech is quite literally the freedom to speak, a freedom…

The Quad 442 W41 was seriously an under-rated little monster of its day. It was a light weight 190 HP (160 lb ft) and good handling car that did very well on a closed road course.

I go to work every day, I`m an inside sales rep.. I get shit, I get bullied, sadly I don`t get sexually harassed, but I see it happening to my colleagues. Then I have to get on the freeway from the beige office park to my off-white home and spend 40 minutes asking myself, what do I really want? And dammit, all I want…

I like what they’ve done here. The world needs more vehicles that don’t look like they’re pissed off.

But then it’s a “car” and has to meet all sorts of pesky safety requirements, which will destroy its basic character. I think it looks awesome, and am all for it being sold here, as long as people keep the things off of the highways where they clearly have no business driving (much like Morgan 3-wheelers).

Nowadays, the biggest “leaks” or “spy photos” are set up by the manufacturers who are trying to build organic buzz about a car. It is no different than a celebrity’s agent telling the paparazzi where their client - who has been dieting and working out for the occasion - will be sunbathing tomorrow.

Honestly, though, that thing probably sounded pretty futuristic back in the ‘80s - especially considering that it was a time where “2000" was thought to be “the future” with flying cars and shit.

No one talks about the Vector anymore and it’s weird, because all the 80s kids knew the Vector was the God of Supercars. It was a really big deal. Now it’s a joke and that’s a shame.

Didn’t the 1980’s have very restrictive exhaust noise laws?  I’m having a hard time thinking of too many great sounding stock 80’s cars. 

I sure didn’t care what it sounded like. There were two cars that mattered in the 80's (in my mind) — the Countach and the Vector. And every kid knew the Vector was El Numero Uno and clearly born in some other Galaxy.

Just throw one of these bad boys on your Vectra and you’re all set.

And that's a good thing. No need to sound like an ass clown.

This was touted as a positive in the annals of the time. Muffler tech wasn’t really very tech and flying under the radar sound wise was considered a good thing. You’ll find all kinds of tips and tricks like routing your exhaust to exit in front of the passenger side rear wheel so it was less audible to popo passing…

When you ask to borrow money, it implies you’re going to pay it back.

Or the real world’s burner...  It is the truth.  

Dood. We are doing landscaping this week. Come on by. We pay $20 an hour. And you can BUY a house in PG county MD for $200,000. Its called “a life”— a J-0-B, House, and that kind of stuff... Most people have them.
