If you can’t say anything nice...

Anything pre-1986. Pickups pre-1994.

Nobody wanted them then. Nobody wants them now. What that means now, though, is that you can actually find one for a decent price even in this absurd used car market. If you are hard-up and need the utility that a minivan provides, it might be worth adding these to your search.

This is worth discussing, but is Jalopnik the place for it? The link to the post about plate readers is the closest this comes to relating to cars.

Air bags get all the attention, but seat belts do more to save lives.

It’s a shame that automatics have gone largely away from column shift. I like the feeling of a mechanical connection, even if it’s an illusion, but you’re right, there is no reason for a bulky automatic shift lever to take up valuable console real estate.

I see counter-nominations for manual transmissions and automatics, as well as power windows and manual windows.

I dislike automatic headlights. I have my headlights set to automatic, but it has made me complacent. Combined with the always-illuminated dash, I don’t actually know if my lights are on at times when it’s not dark, but lights are still necessary (fog and/or precipitation).

I know what “Katchow” is, but has nothing to do with Sally.

I don’t know what “Kachow mode” is, but it’s dumb, and just when I think this couldn’t get any dumber, they go and put pinstriping under the wing...

I had forgotten that I want one of these. Haven’t looked for one in a while. Let’s see what they’re going for...

When I think of the “best cars” of the ‘80s, I see the posters on the walls of my childhood bedroom. Now that I’m a middle-aged man, I concede that most of them weren’t very good cars. I think it’s important for the best car to at least be a good car.

Too late to edit.

I’m pretty sure it’s not 110 centimeters (centimetres) either.

Crows and other corvids are too social and intelligent for most people to realistically keep as pets, but I can support fostering a friendship with wild crows. Crows are awesome. I’d love to befriend some crows, but I don’t see them often, if ever, around my house. I get a lot of sparrows and starlings. So many…

Assuming the picture he included in the post is of his bike, it’s a push-to-cancel. It’s got the little arrow there, and everything.

...neither of our bikes have self-canceling blinkers, so I have to slide the button back to “OFF” after turning like it’s 1986.

“If you have nothing to hide...”

I don’t know if “more little holes” is the answer. My experience with blade/arm mounted washer jets has been less than stellar, but I have had issues with cowl-mounted washer jets, too. Why does the passenger side always seem to work fine, but the driver’s side dribbles like it has an enlarged prostate? Now I’m trying…

They have a tag on it in the images, implying at least an intent to have it street legal. It’s too fast for LSV, but it might be close enough to the original in design to qualify as a replica under the Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015.
