I’m voting “Good idea” because back-up cameras have made it so people now get way closer than they used to while parking. Just because you can see where you bumper is doesn’t mean you need to get that close to my ride.

It looks cool from the outside, but if you’re going to spend the money to upgrade from a VW engine, a Corvair engine is really not worth the effort - Sure, it’s got adequate power, but even in completely new condition there’s a lot of headaches that come with it (be prepared to keep replacing that fan belt every time…

I’m guessing the rear lights are small to minimize the amount of broken glass/plastic that’s inevitable when these things back up to loading docks. I imagine they try to make up for it with small but really bright units. I never worked for USPS, but in college I worked the mail room at the library and we were…

Good thing that was a Lexus IS and not a Pontiac Firebird. I don’t think the Mooney M20E is rated for bird strikes.

When I was shopping for a used 4th Gen Trans Am, I found one at a dealership in NJ. I contacted them to ask about it, as it had everything I wanted except it didn’t have T-Tops. The dealer insisted that Trans Ams weren’t available with T-Tops at all. A few weeks later I bought a ‘94 Trans Am with an LT-1 and a 6-Speed…

I wish the state police would shame the douche-noodle who cut off a dump truck and caused a crazy traffic backup on I-264 a few weeks back. Shaming Maclaren guy is fun and all, but let’s save the big time for the ones who f--- us over during rush hour.

Shifters that don’t actually change position for each gear. Or that aren’t actually shaped like a shifter.

As a Jew, I can’t help but love this car. It’s a Laser and I’m told we like to put them in space.

This is especially realistic if you assume GM execs keep pictures of Cadillac Cimarrons around to remind them that anything can be rebranded.

Twice!

My 1976 Celica had some kind of trip computer where the dash met the center console. It had a digital display that went through a bunch of different statuses when you pushed the one button below it. Except mine. It just displayed random characters on the screen when you pushed the button. It was a little old.

-High Center of Gravity
-Way too much engine
-Fuel cell directly behind seats
-Can of something flammable used as a wheel chock
-Structural bungee cord
-Tiny radiator

I want to be there the moment the SRT engineers strut into Stellantis’ development center, drop several half-finished 6-packs of Budweiser on the counter, spit chewing tobacco into the recycle bins, and shout, “WHELP, WHERE THEM LITTLE CARS WE GONNA PUT A HELLCAT IN?!”

First date with my future wife: I showed up in my 1993 Miata and let her drive, which she LOVED. She asked me if I would ever let her drive my other car, a 1968 Olds Cutlass. I said (half joking) the day I let her drive that would be the day I asked her to marry me.

On a trip to Israel my wife and I rented a Kia Rio when we left Jerusalem. We drove 150 kilometers in the wrong direction (south) and came to some checkpoints manned by soldiers with very big guns. They were very nice to us and let us go through, which also kind of scared the crap out of me. The scariest part was when…

Olds Rally Wheels!

If they could somehow find a way to make Corinthian leather MORE rich...

Someone on Dodge’s marketing team is kicking themselves for not doing this on purpose.
