I call dibs on violin.

The “challenge” is an interesting social phenomenon, being basically a modern-day manifestation of the “dare,” but issued to the public rather than to an individual. Now I have some very bad ideas for challenges...

Plus, it’s not like anybody would know it was you who did it. Even if you told them, most people probably wouldn’t believe you.

1. Any plans to bring back the Heavy Metal Chrome edition?

“This is ridiculous,” people say. “This is appallingly excessive,” people say. “Truck owners are stupid, and shouldn’t be allowed to have nice things,” people say. Well, here’s what I say.

“Yeah, but in the end look where that got him.”

Thanks! It was a college nickname, and I just kept using it because it fits. Come to think of it, I could say the same about a lot of college T-shirts.

Durability and gloves both seem like plausible ideas to me. There’s also the fact that military vehicles typically don’t have keys, so if you can use simpler door handles without locks, why not?

Thanks for the tips. I love that green color. How tall are you, exactly? Do you think a 6'2" person could drive one comfortably?

I’ve seen luggage that is designed to fit in the behind-the-seats storage area. I’m sure you can’t put a lot in there, but maybe clothes and supplies for a weekend trip. Did you ever drive one with the sequential transmission? I’ve heard those should be avoided.

Maybe it’s another naked emperor thing?

And it has fender skirts! If fender skirts were to start making a comeback, I’d be very much OK with that.

Not only that, but he was homeless too (though apparently there is some debate on that, and plenty of people were happy to invite him into their homes). I didn’t really think about that until now; the irony of a homeless man feeding thousands of people.

Just saying, if even one of the people in that study was Jesus, he could really have skewed the numbers. Between the times (plural) when he fed thousands of people with only a few fish and a few loaves of bread, and the time he went without eating for forty days, I doubt he ever spent much on groceries.

If my budget allowed it, I’d seriously consider one of those. I’d have to carefully weigh the value of increased maintenance cost + more fun vs. Toyota reliability.

Everybody missed the right answer, which is, obviously, R63 AMG 4Matic.

I have not yet been able to find a record time for completing the Nürburgring on foot. Maybe I should try that.

Was it a Spyder? I’ve read the early 2nd-gen Turbos were the most likely to try to kill you, but I’m sure Spyders require a healthy level of respect too.

A Miata checks all the same boxes as an MR2, except the one about being rare, which really doesn’t matter that much. If I ever find myself in a position to afford either car, I guess I’ll just have to drive them both and see which one I like better, and whether or not I can actually fit in either of them (I’m 6'2").

It doesn’t bother me as much on Twitter; I just assume they’re writing like that because of the character limit. But I’m never really on Twitter, so I don’t even know if that’s a thing anymore.
