Ok, but can we get them to change their name?! The last thing I want to think when I sit down on an airplane (no matter how true it is) is “I’M ON A FLYING BUS!”

When I was in high school, one person in our clique had a Mercury Topaz and we made fun of it mercilessly. Voting NP not because I think this is a good buy that anybody should ever drive, but because I still feel a little guilty for the whole Topaz thing.

A few that stand out for me:

I am all-in for that car show idea. Especially if there’s an off-road trail ride. I want to witness every awkward moment. 

I believe this photo is demonstrating Peugeot’s recommended course of action when the vehicle’s turn signals inevitably fail. One person exits each vehicle at the intersection and a conversation ensues:

The Sorcerer tribute was a great touch - One of the reasons Sorcerer failed at the box office was because it came out the same week as the first Star Wars. A great movie was denied the audience it deserved.

Both cars were promptly ticketed for illegally parking in the canal.

It is a rough time for those of us who celebrate Oldsmas, when Dr. Olds gave life to his first W-30. We get no commemorative cups. We get no candles. Few people remain who are capable of giving the traditional gift of rocket ships. Impractical? Yes, but worth it.

I can’t find it on YouTube, but I remember Saturn did an ad in the 90's where they talked about a Saturn owner who also owned and autocrossed a Porsche, and occasionally would race the Porsches in his Saturn instead. The commercial then cuts to the race and all the Porsches cross the finish line, followed by the…

I posted a defense of the Corvair recently here, so that goes without saying.

When I was in high school, I drove my grandmother’s early 90's Sedan de Ville. These were downsized, front-drive cars, but it was very much geared toward that kind of comfort. You could not tell there was a road below you. It had an automatically leveling suspension (there was even a light on the dash that said “Car…

I didn’t get to make any Bridge puns, but by sheer coincidence, I did manage to give one of my daughters the initials “MGB”, which made me happy as a car guy.

Alas, my wife would not allow me to name one of our daughters “Tacoma Narrows Bridge”.

Pretty cool to find a barge operating that will carry off large chunks of a cargo ship and haul cars on the side.

Ten years ago I bought a 1991 Camaro for $800 not running and had it towed directly to my favorite shop. We put our heads together diagnosing problems, which mostly looked like bad injectors, except the VATS security system malfunctioned and wouldn’t allow the car to start. After some help from a 3rd gen forum, I…

Reverse: Former 2-time Corvair owner here, and I’m still amazed at how often the myth of Nader’s impact on the Corvair is shared. The linked article basically credits Nader’s book with the car’s demise in 1969. The Corvair debuted in 1959 as a 1960 model. The book came out in 1964. The Corvair was around FIVE MORE…

George Clinton and the rest of Parliament Funkadelic are responsible. 

Can’t even count the number of times a dude is cruising around in a Volkswagen and a Porsche SUV is right on top of him.

He didn’t notice the hastily made sign that said “Parking Spot Reserved for Putin Opposition”

No Smokey and the Bandit?! Junkman? Gone in 60 Seconds? Risky Business? The Italian Job?! Mad Max and The Road Warrior?! The Blues Brothers?! Duel?! NO VANISHING POINT?!
