It's like when Meat Loaf fought a Camaro to the death in AMERICATHON.

BUBBA: Haven't you heard of Missiles Я Us?

Looks naked without the cattle horns.

Peculiar that no driver has attempted the Triple of all three races in one year. ;)

It's a shame you can't go to an airport just to hang out and watch the planes like you could in past decades. Last time I tried, an Airport Authority cop pulled his revolver on me and frisked me in the parking lot.

Ahti Lahti. I'm a menu item at a chintzi hipster coffeehouse.

New School Bus for the Special Ed kids!

I was quoting an old Ram TV ad campaign, from when they were still considered part of Dodge.

Of course, Jeremy Clarkson gave us three object lessons in Italization of non-Italian motor vehicles:

Y'all got a Hemi in THAT? Schweet.

Think Zig?

She segg he segg a we segg/I segg you segg a lay segg/Be segg be segg a loo segg

I HAD one of those Tercels...a four-door version that I retroactively call the "Anton Martin" because its previous owner was a classmate of mine named Anton. It replaced my first car (an AMC Concord) and it kept me running through most of college. Took it on a couple typical Florida adventures too.

The Oldsmobile Royale sedan was Mom's. Not shown, my father's pickup of the moment...he was a foreman at a lumber yard and wore them out pretty…

I recall a beer ad on TV circa 1979 about somebody who had a broken sofa he tried to get rid of. So he took out a classy ad in the paper with all sorts of sophisticated language to describe it—and somebody stole the sofa.

Just a few minutes ago I saw the Chevy Van that the fellow sang about making love in...getting taken on a flatbed truck to the recyclers.

Being the Mad Scientist type that I am, I think if I somehow acquired the Kar Manufacturing body shown above, I'd throw some modern Westfield XTR mechanicals under it. Just for the shock value.

Richard Petty Plymouth Satellite. The car that made me love NASCAR.

He looks like the actor who plays the mob boss Elias on PERSON OF INTEREST.

Heck, that wonderful gauge of automotive culture—the product lines of Revell plastic model kits—includes "Donks". The kits Revell sells/sold for their Donks series include Pontiac Grand Prixes, Buick Grand Nationals, and Cadillac Coupes DeVille. I am somewhat surprised they didn't include a Lincoln or Chrysler in…
