I say start up the cruises again. Consider the benefits:

A Japanese car but you’re measuring those pipes in inches? Come on!

Whatever it is, it’ll need a place to install Super Pursuit Mode parts that look right. I don’t know if you could do that with a Pacifica or Ram.

Sponsorships of any kind have rarely affected my purchasing decisions. It’s possible that one could lead me to consider buying the related vehicle, but the racing vehicles don’t usually have any real relationship with the consumer product line anymore.

Shouldn’t cars stop having clocks for the same reason that bars and casinos don’t have clocks?

As a reference point: that $20k in 2020 adjusted for inflation is probably about the same as $17k in 2010 or $13k in 2000. The Corolla has both existed and kept the same market segment for decades, and it’s about the same inflation-adjusted price as it was 20 years ago. Same for the Sentra. I don’t know/care enough…

When I look at your drawing of The Boot I can’t help but see the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile.

Does this mean that I should now start tempting you with a photo of a rust-covered Jeep sitting under a shed roof which reportedly ran when parked?

If you’re running late you drive faster in an attempt to initiate time warp.

When I was in high school I was headed home after going out with friends. It was probably past midnight. Ice-cold rain was falling. I passed a car pulled off at a field entrance. Slowed down enough for a glance, and a few seconds later when I came over the top of the hill I passed a figure in a hoodie and jeans…

I want the outside of the car to be plaid.

I don’t have anything too horrible. It was a little weird when I was in the airport at the same time as the people going home from an Herbalife convention. Everywhere I looked, Herbalife logos. Groups that looked like entire families all wearing the t-shirts and caps.

Lifting mass out of earth’s gravity is expensive. You wouldn’t want to take any more crew than you had to, so you wouldn’t want to kill any of them because they’d all be essential.

The real problem is not that the brake calipers are painted. It’s that they are painted the wrong color. Why are they not black?

They say it’s for testing battery and thermal management. Maybe they kept the manual transmission installed so they can do test runs with 6 different drive ratios before they have to tear it apart and regear. It probably has enough power to start moving in any gear.

It’s especially effective if you install a horn that sounds like this:

When did New York City import enough trees to have leaves land on your car?

What, don’t you know about the famous 90s rock band CODE? Their song lyrics were all strings of numbers, and fans went nuts trying to translate them.

Wait, you say it’s not acceptable to wear S&M gear outside the rest of the year? No wonder people look at me funny.

Damn, I was briefly excited. Stick and clutch? Blah, so what. But a column shifter? Now that would have been interesting. Seven on the tree!
