If you havent already, go check out the original article where these were collected from. So many that didnt make the cut for the slideshow.  It brought back a LOT of memories for me anyway. https://jalopnik.com/what-was-your-favorite-childhood-car-toy-1850844406

Any automatic is a fail . CVT are the best automatics because the are the most fail. If you opt for a CVT you should feel bad unless hypermiling is the game.

Lol - at least you get cost of living raises. Try working in an industry where you don’t get any raises for years - even before covid.

I dunno man. The percentage of white collar workers in America who still think they should be forever thankful to corporations for simply employing them (let alone giving them raises) is still way too high. I think the last downturn in 2008 broke a lot of people, and many are still deathly afraid of losing their job…

They can at least track down the VTOL components by checking social media for any really big fans of the F-35B.

I’ll one up you on this.  My last boss said we should be happy with 3% because “the company doesn’t reduce your salary when inflation goes negative”.

Yeah, I had a similar experience last year when I got a whooping 4% increase but my boss is a decent guy and well aware that it was significantly less than inflation so he was more apologetic than anything (he wasn’t gaslighting like your boss clearly was). The first year of the pandemic lead to a 1% increase which is…

Ah, hell yes! I had the Nissan hardbody version. It was bitchin’. Made a little dirt track with sweet jumps for it and everything.

Mine was my first Hot Wheels set, which also had the awesome color-changer set. You would put these cars into some kind of water (or throw water on them) and they’d change color right away. My highlight from the set was the Countach (pictured below), as like every 90s kid, I had to have some kind of Lamborghini in my…

The original Tyco Rebound. I’m pretty sure it was one of the first R/C cars that could flip and drive on either side. There was a forever under development subdivision near my parents house and we used to launch this thing off of dirt piles that were 10-20 feet high and it would just keep going. It could spin on the…

Saw them at the exact venue and exhibition, I really dug the Stout Scarab, the Stratos was just gorgeous.

OOH! Yes. That show had some really cool cars in it. I took quite a lot of pictures of the Stratos. 

You kid, but part of the Aztek’s issue was being on a minivan platform, and the hard points that that created. Specifically, the U-body platform, which had little-to-no flexibility. So you got small wheels, slab sides, a square-ish profile and a relatively long wheelbase. Those things don’t make a good-looking SUV. 

I present the 2000 Jaguar F-Type Concept.

I couldn’t decide between this, the Furai, or the RX-500 so I just went in a different direction. The Vision is pure sex.

I don’t know about the “greatest” but the Ferrari 512S Modulo has always been one of my favorites. This interpretation of the future is much better than the one we actually got.

5500 RPM Stall Speed on your Torque Converter and a Trans brake and line lock will let you launch pretty hard. They are truly bad for street driving though.

Speed records and racing have driven motorsports for over 120 years and ALL of it, all the technology, experiences, failures, triumphs, mistakes, victories, cheating, ALL of it progresses motorsports and real world daily driving. Are cars today are the children of technology born from trying to break records. 

Distinguished European racing pedigree!

I don’t know, they are just dumber about it since you really don’t have that many options on Corvettes so they have to make shit up. Like this was the only Corvette built buy Jim Bob on the THIRD Thursday in April while he had the clap in this color LOL.
