Chester is 72 years old. He’s been dreaming of owning a Corvette for the vast majority of those years. He worked hard and played it safe. He’s got enough money to bring home a Vette and the wife says it is ok. Now he knows the one’s from the 60's were way faster, buta new Vette is part of the dream. He orders his…

Way back when, I worked at a grocery store. We had a greeter who was your typical 80-something year old retiree. He drove a Z06 convertible every day. Even the dead of winter. One day when we got over a foot of snow, I saw him drive that damn Z06 like it was the middle of summer. Still makes me smile to this day.

Ask Patrick. He got jailed for speeding in Virginia.

Now TG is officially back.

It would be awesome if Ray were interested in occasionally writing for Jalopnik as a sort of Jalop emeritus. I’m sure he would have some stories to tell and would fit in perfectly with the motley assortment of characters.

The day Tom died, I sent my local NPR station the biggest donation I had ever made to a charity of any kind with a note to keep airing Car Talk as long as they could. I don’t care it’s not new, I still get a big grin when I hear that banjo music on Saturday morning.

I fucking love the Magliozzis and Car Talk. While it was still being produced live, it was part of my Saturday ritual. Coffee? Check. Car Talk? Check. Maybe a donut or an old beater to wrench on?

still probably my favorite commercial let alone car commercial

I never street raced...ever.

To me these are still one of the best looking sports cars built.

This should be banned period, if you do this to your truck on purpose you are a piece of fucking garbage, no exceptions you just are. If you defend people who do this you are also a piece of garbage.

So for future reference, where does the flight crew store the duct tape?

The HOA is gonna be super pissed about this.

The woofer box just popping out the back is the best part of this.

It should also be mentioned that Helen currently daily drives a 991 Carrera S with a manual and is most definitely cooler than all of us. :)

Oddly enough there is another one for sale in of all places New Hampshire at the same mileage, slightly different price, in the same color but with different wheels. Could this be a bait and switch?

More and more customers want to rent SUVs instead of the dinky cars usually associated with rental fleets
