I have a soft spot for Mitsu’s of this era after owning a few different Talons and Eclipses. I’ve seen this with the turbo, the 4WS, 4WD and a convertible top. For that model I’d buy it in a heartbeat and plan on spending another $3K to get someone to fix or replace the engine. For this, it’s more trouble than it’s…

What are ads? I have a DVR and Netflix and I haven’t had to watch an ad in years. Assuming someone’s going to know something about your interest just because you think it’s heavily advertised is an incorrect assumption.

They gave me one as a rental from Las Vegas to LA. It was as completely uninteresting, meh and boring to drive as any new SUV could possibly be. 

Yes, I well remember my 1988 Chevy Sprint, the Canada-only Firefly sibling. The radio issue was easily solved by not paying extra for the optional radio and opting for the base model that didn’t have a radio, A/C or power anything. Then you could put in a decent aftermarket stereo. The sheet metal was incredibly thin…

My brother took his ‘88 Sprint on two round trips from Toronto to Edmonton with no issues (although he did need a brake job after that). I inherited it and drove it twice around Lake Ontario as well as down to Philly a couple of times. Not the most comfortable car for long trips, but easily the cheapest! It’s the only…

Oh, I had a lovely ‘87 Chevy Sprint, the Canadian sibling. I got it as a hand-me-down from my brother who had driven that thing from Toronto to Edmonton and back multiple times. It made no pretensions to be anything other than a minimalist econobox, but it was glorious for what it was. Concepts like suspension, NVH,…

I hated the looks but ended up with one as a rental for a week in the PNW. After a day of driving the steering wheel was hurting my hands. I don't understand how or why; it was a thin wheel, but I'd driven cars with thinner ones. But within about 3 hours of driving my hands were hurting. I've never had that happen to…

I’ve been saying this for months, ever since this story broke: we’re going to be hearing horror stories from these kids for the next few decades. These children will be abused physically, mentally and sexually and many of them will be killed or disappeared. The survivors will start popping up in a decade or two and…

Porn is indeed racist. It’s also sexist, ageist, sacrilegious and just about any other negative term you can come up with. That’s because porn is human fantasies on display. It’s a cliche that the high-powered executive gets off on being whipped by a dominatrix, but that kind of transgressions is at the root of all…

Yes Ms Dworkin, and all sex is rape, yes, we heard you the first 50 times. Not only is this the typical anti-porn screetching that was rolled out in the 1960's, it’s incredibly infantalizing to women. You literally just said “you can’t consent to something you have to be paid to do" which would be a huge surprise to…

This. I’m 6'2" and it’s the only car I’ve ever gotten into where after reflexively pushing the seat all the way back I have to notch it back up on order to reach the gas. Not sure its the best highway cruiser, but it’s a hell of a lot of fun to drive.

Who says there are no ads on DVDs? Have you ever TRIED to start watching a movie WITHOUT having to sit through 90 previews, 12 FBI warnings, 392 production company logos and only then getting to the 5 minute animated sequence that eventually resolves itself into a far-too-busy-and-nearly-indecipherable main menu…

Let’s do the math:

Ok, so once I got out of a restaurant with my date, walked over to my car, put her in, got in on my side and then freaked out. I literally said the following:

“No - wait! I can work with this!”

This. That ugly wagon has cargo space only if he wants to lay his paintings down flat and will guzzle enough gas to bankrupt him. It’s also going to be a bitch to park.

God, that picture makes me want that car so badly. The color, the ski rack, the complete impracticality of that thing in the snow - WANT!

Exactly. This is gorgeous, in good shape and will make me look like James Bond. However, I know from experience that I can barely get into one of these. I want it, but it’s a bit too pricey and impractical for me. 

Oh, that’s easy: none. The staff are not even allowed to touch the children, let alone provide trauma counseling. 

Exactly this. MS-13 wants to recruit? Well, there are a bunch of traumatized teens now who have a REALLY good reason to hate Americans and no parents or support. Just offer them a taco and a place to sleep and you’ll get all the loyalty you could ever want. Trump is STRENGTHENING MS-13 and all other gangs with this.
