This. I had a '70 280se in this exact color combo and I loved it! It was the perfect color for this car.

Yes, there are honest car salespeople (I was one of them for a time), but the real problem, I think, is that there are not a lot of honest dealerships. So the honest salespeople who are not fortunate enough to land at an honest dealership either: a) are miserable; b) get corrupted; or c) get out of the business. I…

I spent close to 8 years in the car business and there is nothing particularly shocking in this article. The practice of bumping loan rates is not limited to people with poor credit, although there is certainly more room to rake a "get-me-done" over the proverbial coals. But at every dealership I worked at, it was…

I sense an homage to the Alfa Milano in the kicked-up side molding. I can't for the life of me figure out what the zig-zag greenhouse line is a tribute to, though.

Beautiful car. Significantly more pricey than many of the steel bodied 308s and 328s I've seen, but also looks to be better kept than most. It's all moot for me, since I don't have the money and even if I did, I'm too tall to drive one of these, but NP all the same.

Oh no, is the Kilpatrick Commission report going to rely on a "magic folding chair" theory?

To her credit, she did find her car's jack and used that on the Caddy's windshield near the end of the video. Still not the best implement for what she was trying to accomplish, but better than the floppy folding chair.

Somebody should've told her that hitting the car with the soft, floppy end doesn't inflict nearly as much pain as hitting it with the stiff end.

I know—I didn't see any other costumes, either. But the gel in the hair and the shit on their faces is too over-the-top to be serious, right? Right?

@POLAЯ: Please tell me those guys are at a costume party...

Of course. And what a great marketing opportunity to do a tie-in with Sex Panther Cologne...

Soooo... Montoya is actually "Johnny Paul Martin"? No, still sounds too Catholic. "Johnny P. Martin"? Closer. "J.P. Martin"? I think that'll work.

I see. For a minute there, I though he might've been the guy that had that controversial coming-together with Jacques Villenew in Jerez back in 1997.

Looks aside (though I'd be willing to bet that Rocky Dennis' blind girlfriend would think this car "feels like a lion"), I always thought it was strange that GM named that fuel-injection system "Cross-Fire." I mean, cross-firing is something you normally try to avoid in an engine, right? It would be like naming…

Who's Michael "Schumaker"?

@GTRbrian: The size of the tractor is mostly irrelevant, since I don't think anybody was proposing that it should be stopped by pushing against it, Superman-style, and as far as I know, the ignition switches in "huge" tractors are as easy to turn of as the ignition switches in little lawn tractors.

@maximum_sarge: Given my disdain for Walmart, I have to admit I would have been tempted to let it keep going, too.

Nope. The Beeb just replaced Eddie Jordan with Bo Duke this weekend.

Hey, somebody's got to be a superhero, right? And who better than me, sitting safely at home in front of my computer?

Yeah, I've climbed on tractors like that before, and granted, I am a bit taller than the average person, but I just didn't see that much risk there. They'd been watching the thing run in circles, so they knew more or less where it was going to hit obstacles, and there was certainly plenty of time between the time it…
