It totally depends on the direction you’re going. Indiana sucks far more on the N/S than it does on the E/W routes. But in any case, I-80 across Iowa sucks enough to have a great song about it.

I totally disagree about Pennsylvania. I feel like the turnpike is fairly scenic. It’s a helluva lot better than one of the plains states. 

Nebraska. Just Nebraska.

Golf r…. A slightly lifted golf r with some cool rally set up would be a game changer 

Minivans. All of them. Soccer practice and Costco runs all week, overlanding all weekend.

Porsche 911

But the collision was 100% his fault. Whether she stopped or not did not change his extent of injury, considering passerbys were able to render assistance.

I want a long, low gentleman’s coupe.

My aunt Gertie has that saying in a framed needlepoint hanging on her kitchen wall.  

That’s exactly why I decided against buying my dining room set from the Notable Furniture Company. 

Here’s my own legend for the legend: Someone who writes business textbooks didn’t understand a joke.

The James Dean Porsche. I think we all know that James Dean crashed his Porsche 550 Speedster into a Ford driven by Donald Turnupseed, killing himself and severely injuring his passenger. The buyer of what was left of the car, an amateur racer, put the engine in his Lotus IX race car, and promptly crashed it. He…

“accidently”

The 100-mpg Mustang. About ten years ago, a guy named Doug Pelmear toured the auto shows, reported to the car magazines and local media, etc. that he had a 1987 Mustang with a “hybrid powerplant” that produced 400 horsepower and would get 110 miles per gallon. Of course, the owner/engineer/developer wouldn’t allow…

Still to this day, there are far too many people who think that cop cars are faster than their stock counterparts. Including actual cops.

“It’s chipped, it can do like 200 mph”

“So you’re telling me a vehicle that starts at 2 tons dry, with 1,000 extra pounds of gear, ballistic protection, and heavy-duty upgrades,…

In Brazil we didn’t got all those juice muscle cars you Americans got. The only similar things we got were the Dodge Charger (actually the Dart rebadged as a Charger), the Ford Maverick and the Chevy Opala. From these 3, the Mavericks were amongst the most desired ones.

That the Chevy Nova didn’t sell in Mexico because the name means “no go” in Spanish. This myth comes up in business school textbooks as a cautionary tale about not doing enough research when moving into a new market. It’s a stretch to say that Spanish-speakers would read “nova” as “no va”, which is an awkward phrasing…

Don’t flash your headlights at oncoming cars with their lights off at night ‘cause they’ll turn around and kill you.

Good lord.
