Demons and shit.

This:

Similar...and yet the Chevy is actually typical malaise era baroque & tacky, while the Volvo somehow presents boring, but clean. Odd.

Why does everything nowadays gotta be adversarial? It’s all mine-is-better-than yours, this-over-that, pick a side and fuck ya’ll. Well, no sir, fuck you! This sort of blind team-following has lead to obvious amoral, lying, cheating, scheming, selfish, entitled scammers in both the White House and the Supreme Court. Ne…

Poodoo economics.

So, um, instead of making readers do the math, you could maybe just print the numbers. Not to be a jerk, but this “...makes 35 more lb-ft of torque than the Colorado’s most powerful gas engine, which is rated at 275 lb-ft of torque...” is a needlessly convoluted way of saying, “It makes 310 ft-lbs.”

Yeah, a shit-ton of people apparently don’t know what “regular” and/or “aged well” means. I mean, for fuck’s sake, outside of the G8, no Pontiac from the past few decades has aged well! Many also just take any opportunity to post pics of shit they like, regardless of whether or not it fits the topic.

Keeping with the “regular car” theme, late-nineties Mitsu’s were clean AF and mostly “timeless.”

You guys/gals are a bunch of soft-shelled, no skillz snowflakes. Know what happens when I take off exploring and get lost? I figure it out and get back home, just as I’ve been doing all my life and like riders have been doing for at least a century. Shit, just asking directions often leads you into all sorts of…

True. Who would’ve thought that throwing a shit-ton of design cliches and generic who-gives-a-fuck into a blender would result in a truck thing that looks uncomfortably like a piggy bank? Chrysler must’ve been pleasantly surprised by that outcome. And you know what? They weren’t wrong. Americans with no taste bought…

Man, all of you shouting, “Right-wing turds done got Disney to fire left-wing director!” don’t get it. Disney gives exactly zero shits about the conservo-trolls. What this boils down to is corporate culture & philosophy. See, Disney has many rules and tenets, but one idea is paramount: in a nutshell, childhood is…

Me too, man. I still do a cursory search in the morning to see if there’s anything worth reading, but for the last year or so, there hasn’t been much. Honestly, I think I still look around just for Torch and Crackpipes. Most everything else is pretty much your standard shitty blog fare. Oh, I do like Werth’s “famous…

Ya gotta love the judgmental bullshit on here from the commentators...same as it ever was. Personally, most of the litter I see comes in the form of candy/junk/fast food wrappers and that pisses me off because rampant obesity is not just unsightly/fucking disgusting and a hassle to navigate around, but costs the…

I’ve missed your writing around here. I’m glad you’re gettin’ there!

The 1.5l lump in my 2 decade old Mitsu shitbox that won’t die says it’s a very good thing.

Ah, it was your truck, I see. ;)

Good point about cars getting bigger. Still, my late-nineties compact shitbox is feeling awfully crowded in a standard parking stall these days...I suspect some spaces are indeed narrower than they used to be.

The more and more I think about it, the more I start to wonder if they’ve actually made parking spaces narrower on average over the years in order to fit more spaces in, like how airlines have made seats smaller and smaller to cram in more asses.

Yeah, I ended up looking up the specs this morning and I’m surprised there’s only been about an inch of increase in width over the years...they seem so much wider from both the inside and out. I suppose the reason they seem to take up more parking space is because many people stick wider wheel/tire combos on their…
