I clearly have too much faith in humanity, too much shame, was raised far too well, and possess too much decency, because I couldn’t imagine myself thinking of, let alone doing, even the mildest of the things these men have been accused of, and being able to look myself in the office mirror.

Looks great. Can’t wait for the reviews of the new engine.

Ya, I remember John Candy’s passing as a major deal back then. Almost as big as Robin Williams for the time. Candy was indispensible as a comedic actor in SCTV, which I watched pretty religiously and had so much fun laughing at with my dad. To say nothing of the movies Candy was in, like PT&A. Candy dying was a bit of…

It truly is a time of great comeuppance. So much like and respect for some people, admittedly from a far and disconnected position, being lost. And the important thing to note is that it’s not just repressed theocrats and conservative politicians that are being outed. It’s (most often) men all over the spectrum.

Eh...yaaaa...I was afraid of this. If everything “known” as of today - because of this article - will turn out to be true in the next few days, it confirms what I was concerned about when the car was first announced. The Z06 already has so much power and capability that it was hard to conceive of a way Chevy could…

I live in the southeast valley and see the Waymo vans every day. Intel’s autonomous cars are a pretty common site, too. Chandler seems to be the autonomous car hotbed. That’s where this video was shot, and that still image used on several Waymo news stories is of one of these vans driving past Chandler City Hall.

Yep. There were about 15,000 of these things running around my town back then, at least half of them in the green-n-gold. I don’t recall that Ford ever went the forest green/gold route on any of their cars, but GM sure did with the Pontiac lineup. If I were ever to acquire one of these machines, it would HAVE to be an…

Yep, 100%

Car that driving class had me learn on: 1980-something Chevy Celebrity

CP at that price. You can get heavily used nice ones in the mid-20s, normally used and nice ones in the low 30s, and heavily used (for an exotic car) GTS coupes in the high 30s. It will cost well more than 7-10 grand to fix this car. Paint alone would cover the spread. And, this car only has 13k on it, which is kinda…

That’s such a great image. It reminds you that even machines now considered “old” were quite sophisticated.

Never was a big fan of the 280ZX, but...this one, from this angle...looks pretty damn awesome.

Given that Weinstein was finally outed and is not in the hot seat, I’m really surprised someone far less powerful in Hollywood - namely bush-league Segal - has escaped this kind of exposure and ire that is only now starting to creep in his direction. I’ve been hearing credible-sounding stories about him for years, one…

Thanks for posting this, very informative. I’m white, and I cannot stand it when another white person (unfailingly a conservative) throws out the black-on-black thing, usually followed by “BUT CHICAGO!!!” Tossing the black-on-black grenade into a discussion is only ever intended to try and make people shut up, to…

I think ultimately what you’re saying about how naive you are, is that a lot of people in this country thought their fellow citizens - even our own family members - were (a lot) better than this, and that given enough time to hang themselves in the media, trolls would be flicked away by-and-large with eye-rolling…

The Alero was unquestionably better-looking than the Grand Am. That said, it was easily the worst-looking Oldsmobile of that final run. Which is not to say it was truly ugly, just that it was the least pretty of the lineup, and it was the only one that had a high rear end, which really broke the flow of the Intrigue…

Agreed. One of GM’s best-ever products, and a real bright spot in their 90s era. It was a great successor to the Toronado Trofeo.

Mostly, yes. However some buyers are going to be concerned about resale value, and the Germans would win on that, though maybe not by much given that their cars start so much higher. The flip side of that coin is, it just means that people will be able to pick up an awesome and cheap used Stinger GT 18 months after…

Wow, there are a lot of people these days who are able to just disappear any respect I had for their intellect, critical faculties, and their station in life.

And that’s the LARGEST city in WY. Which is half the size of my hometown AFTER it has lost population due to the gutting of manufacturing jobs...
