The later wagon was called the Taurus X. Seems appropriate.

GM opened that plant in 1954. They were more stable back then.

I don’t think they were exporting cars out of Venezuela? Or if they were, it was to other 3rd world countries in SA. Not exactly a low cost cash grab for GM. More like a low cost vehicle for people with little to no money.

Hernandez’s kid is better off without him. Good riddance to that murdering father, maybe his kid has a chance to grow up into a normal person without his despicable influence.

Those days are not gone for me - below 60 my Esprit is a pain in the butt.

One wonders if that Holden had enough power to overcome the drag from the broken trailer with the weight of that huge tank on it.

It feels like you didn’t read literally two sentences later:

Every time a manifold is in danger....

Also, movie stars look like movie stars more because of big-budget stylists than genetics.

I was talking to a coworker today and said “I bet this is a wife that left a husband and now he went to her work to killer her.” Fuck I hate being right.

Activities that may lead to having kids, though.

Never give in. I raised two kids (teens now) with sedans and standard wagons. Zero crossovers or SUVs or minivans. The rare occasion where these vehicles need more space I have a rooftop box I can mount. On the super rare occasion I need more seats I rent. Why buy a vehicle for a capability I only need < 1% of the…

So much this!! With one child, you do NOT need a minivan or SUV, even with all their stuff. I do it in a Fiat no problem. It probably helps that I am a minimalist parent who doesn’t believe in carrying every last bit of baby gear all the time. Even so, when necessary, I used to fit kid, baby bag, and stroller with no…

That’s Nuts.

Corollary: the people who tell me “I like to visit NYC, but I wouldn’t want to live there” are super fucking annoying. I just tell them “we don’t want you to live here either, so that works.”

Tom, you wrote about the perfect car earlier this month (and I snagged one myself). The Chevrolet SS. With the rebate, it checks all the boxes.

WUT? I’ll try not to $h*t on people who drive minivans - if that’s what someone wants, that’s fine. BUT...there is absolutely no NEED to get a minivan for two kids. My dad for some reason loves Chrysler minivans (he’s bought two even after me and my sister were off to college and grown). But for two kids it was a…

I was always more a 328 fan, with the more integreted front/rear bumpers. Also the first Ferrari I ever got to ride in: black 328 GTS. daammmmn.

The interior is quite perfect too, particularly that gated manual with the long shifter. I would love to have one of those in my car.
