Oh, I’m sure. I always tip well! (People always say that then you find out they think 10% is good).

You don’t get a roof that flies off. <shrug>

Easy.

Yeah, I can think of better cars on which to blow $26K.  CP

i liked florence but i could skip rome and venice if i went back. 

Eh, we’ll probably get the same moldy jokes as usual...

do you count port as wine??? portugal is cheap and nice as hell. should visit it.

Believing my brother when he said he knew how to drain a radiator. Turned out he jabbed a screwdriver into the bottom of it to drain it, then wandered back into the house looking to be murdered for some glue(!) to pour into the hole.

I will likely have a few bucks on a driver or two for the race. While qualifications are always somewhat predictable, the race rarely is.

A suggestion/request from someone who hasn’t memorised indycar driver affiliations: it’s a bit weird having the headline be about Penske struggling, and then have the article literally not mention Penske and their struggles even once!

Am I the only “old” around here who read car magazines back in the day? One of them did an expose on this very “feature” of the GM cars at one point. It actually was not (totally) penny-pinching for once - it was fuel economy ratings!

For a second I read that as “Klit Stinger,” and I was wondering how some rando on the Internet figured-out my go-to move in the sack.

SUIT: Ha, ha, ha! Too late, asshole! They’re gone! Fuck off, little girl!

I confess. I was born before then, and did experience it. The glory of the cars to about 68/69. Low-compression, high-roll land yachts in the early seventies. Then the “hell, these suckers will buy American regardless, so why modernize?” phase that followed, and basically guaranteed that I wouldn’t.

And we were grateful.

I am 20 years older, you missed the truly bad years of American cars.

IN MY DAY, if we wanted to reverse the car we took a walk around it every single time. Cars were so big back then, it took 5 minutes just to walk around the front end! We carried a spiked bat and a .45 to scare away any mischievous children or animals sitting near, on or under the car. Then we got in the car and after…

Statistically, by todays standards, our generation all died twice in accidents as children.

Back up camera. I’m honestly glad these things are mandated now, because holy shit are they life-changing.

Now, before some of you start your “blah blah blah lazy drivers, my *insert vintage POS here* doesn’t even have mirrors, and I turned out OK” rants, I still use all my mirrors when driving, parking, etc. But…
