Pontiac Aztek Rally.

I hang my head in embarrassment here, but only halfway.

Suzuki X-90. These came out right around the time I was getting my driver’s license and I wanted one so badly. I grew up skiing and fantasized about strapping skis to the top and heading out for the trails. I even had a brochure and cut out pictures to hang on my wall. I got a ‘93 Del Sol Si instead, which was the far…

I loved the MX-3, and when I was like 13 I really wanted to get one as a project to get running by the time I could drive. There were several available at the time (circa 2004-ish) for a couple hundred dollars that did not run. My dad said no.

If only something from his piss-poor diet would take the fucker out. Like a McNugget gets lodged in his throat or something.

I just cannot believe how after all of these years people still believe anything Musk has to say when it concerns timelines, and the fact that news outlets are uncritically passing along that this new affordable car is coming out “sooner” is absurd. 

A 55% revenue drop and the stock still ends $4 up from open. I worked on Wall Street for ~4 years (in a marketing function) and I will always say “Fuck Wall Street.”

‘Anti-woke’ just means anything that demonstrates consideration and empathy for people different from oneself. He’s a greedy far-right massive tool with a stupendously inflated ego, and like every other far-right asshole, he throws around ‘woke’ to describe anything decent people do or think he doesn’t like.

I used…

the old ford indigo concept 

Sheesh! You have to put it in a special mode for it to cope with a fucking car wash? And if not, warranty is voided! What a fucking shitshow of a design and company.

Ford Indigo. Cross between a Plymouth Prowler and an IndyCar with the soul of a go-cart.

1989 Ford Splash and Pontiac Stinger concept car. So obscure, you probably never heard of them.

I was initially going to go with the Buick Blackhawk but that’s too well known to be obscure. So I’ll go with the ‘04 Buick Velite, featuring a 400hp 3.6L twin-turbo V6, RWD, and based on the Zeta architecture this could have very well gone into production as it used readily available GM parts:

Saab 9-X Biohybrid. Hybrids are selling like hot cakes right now, and Saab was under GM ownership when this concept was released. Styling wasn’t quite right, something about the rear looks off to me.  It didn’t nail the design like the Aero-X had before it.  But man, I’d love a Saab like this today.  It even had a…

Basically any late-stage Saab concept, which were light years ahead of the conventional design language at the time. This 9-X Air is just absolutely gorgeous and we were robbed of this little top-down cruiser by the shoddy mismanagement from GM.

100% this. No matter how consistant you think you are going, you are not

I’ll be honest with you, on long trips it’s usually obvious who isn’t using cruise control, and they kind of drive me crazy. Cruise keeps things orderly on the interstate. 

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT;

Here is my two for unkillable. My 2001 Chevy Suburban 5.3L 2wd and my 1960 VW Beetle just being brought back from a 10 year slumber with a 40 hp engine still humming. 

Nissan Altima. The amount of what would be considered mathematically totaled Altimas still driving around on the roads probably outnumber the ones that are in decent, undamaged condition. Having seen first hand what the drivers of these cars do to abuse them, I’d say they’re pretty damn unkillable. I’m not saying…
