And remember: All this to save a few bucks, by using good ol’ cheap ammonium nitrate which Takata knew (or shod have known) wasn’t very safe.

Wrong song. Lemme fix that:

Don’t forget Bo.

So this is the M version of the M version?

Stan, we know it’s you.

I was all set to post the “Queen as WWII Mechanic” photo but you included it. +1.

The back end of the 1st generation Cayenne looked like a Chrysler Pacifica taking a dump. But it had better off-road capability than the 2d generation model. I always regarded it as the “Bear Shitting in Woods” variant.

The 1965 Cubana isn’t a DC-3. It’s an Ilyushin IL-14.

I have a newer Audi (electric steering). A few nights ago I drove my wife’s older BMW ( hydraulic). Night and day.

So for our new house we sprang for the TOTL model: And our experience parallels yours (except we weren’t witty enough to come up with your nickname). Nothing like pouring yourself a glass of…

In Soviet Russia, tire rolls you.

Having personally driven a Granada “Sports Coupe”...this image brought back traumatizing memories. Thanks a lot.

It’s the winter of 1982-83. My buddy and I just finished 3 days of bumming ski passes off folks in Utah, and we’re headed across I80 back to California. I had grown up reading stories about Donald Campbell, Art Arfons, and Craig Breedlove. And now here I was: Driving next to the Bonneville fucking Salt Flats. I was…

Friend and I go see Aliens when it came out. After 20 minutes friends turns to me and says, “Can you believe we paid to watch this and have the shit scared out of us?” Great movie, But Will Never See It Again.
