I would never buy this thing or be seen driving it, but here I am clicking “NP”. I don’t know what’s going on in my brain.

I probably shouldn’t feed this addiction - especially since I jumped at the opportunity to swap out the factory bench in my ‘68 Cutlass for buckets as soon as a found a pair (they are kind of rare), buuuuuut... The airbag thing CAN be done. I distinctly remember Ford running ads for the Mercury Grand Marquis in the

This is great! I feel so lucky that I got to drive a few times in my 1968 Cutlass with my dad, bringing back some nostalgia for the 1970 Skylark Convertible he had when I was a kid, and sharing a few great moments. I remember him getting pretty excited when it got dark, I flipped the lights on, and the aftermarket

Does your car stink? Let us know in the comments.”

Knock Knock.

No planes there right now. It’s just... water under the bridge.

There’s a button H hidden under the dash. If you push it, the narrator reminds the audience that Racer X is Speed Racer’s brother without actually telling Speed Racer. He pushed that button about 872 times through the run of the show.

Whatever that guy with the fishing rod says, I don’t believe he snagged a Hyundai that was more than 184 inches long.

Four of Jalopnik’s Bothans died to bring you this information, Shawn. You better come back with the right car.

Another great study from “The Institute of Suck All The Fun Out Of Everything”

Gotta put a plug in for the script on my ‘68 Cutlass, with the bonus “S” logo.

“As soon as my associate gets here with a working door handle, we can get in and be on our way. Probably.”

I had to drive one of those things in Drivers Ed when I was 15. I can confirm that they are great for outdoors life because if you crank the steering wheel all the way to lock it will let out a shriek that should attract something.

AMEN ON THE SHIFTER! My mother-in-law had a Prius wagon and it also has that awful shifter! It would ignore my first five attempts to go into reverse and beep at me endlessly until I screamed at it, fruitlessly slamming it into gear only for it to bounce right back to center, laughing at me... WHY, TOYOTA?!

If he loved 3rd Gen Camaros, 3rd Gen Firebird is the answer. Different enough to be a new experience, plus pop-up headlights. This one is my ‘89 and it cost less than $5k with 84k original miles. A little snug in the back, but adults fit.

Saw one on the street last week. I drove right through it. Even though it was clearly labeled “Mirage” it still left a scratch on my bumper.
1/10, do not recommend.

Just think of it as yet another sad workaround for people who can’t drive a stick.

Neutral: Raid the pension fund, sell the assets, scrap the metal, redevelop the factories into premium apartments, give myself a golden parachute and run for the Caribbean.

I had a really good wrenching experience last weekend. My Triumph Spitfire peed out all of it’s clutch fluid, and I was easily able to diagnose it as a bad slave cylinder. The part was pretty cheap, and the job was easier than it had any business being. In a Spitfire, you can access the transmission through a trapdoor

So, to sum up, Journey = Bad.
