Has it been long enough that Americans forgot about Ford turning an LTD into a truck, or forgiven them? I just feel like anyone over thirty remembers these car-trucks as the butt of jokes in the school parking lot. My dad had to borrow a Ranchero from work one day and I didn’t want to be seen in it.

I don’t know anything about this guy, but from the looks of it he won’t have any problem finding a new job teaching a Peloton class.

[T]he only people entering the Republican Party candidate pipeline in the Trump era almost have to be allied with the alt-right, because the alt-right absolutely comprises the only effective and successful youth outreach strategy the GOP currently employs.

I honestly can’t tell the difference between the McRib, the “rib-b-q” my high school cafeteria served in the ‘90s, or the microwavable pressed pork product sold at the Dollar Tree.

I hear a book on how to use false equivalence clapbacks comes with every introductory MAGA gift basket, along with a white robe and some fake tattoo sleeves.

My guess is Hulu tries to shove each movie into as many categories as possible, to get it in front of as many eyes. I can’t remember which service it was, but I was pretty annoyed to find Too Wong Foo under something like “Awkward Romance.”

“...in an increasingly focus-group-deflavorized automotive world.”

Reason be damned. If I had a garage, this car would be in it. 

There are going to be a lot of growing pains as we move towards a more remote work environment, but “where not to masturbate” shouldn’t be one of them.

I don’t know anything about this YouTuber. I get the impression he’s rich, just not Bugatti-rich. My guess is he used his Ferrari to get onto the lot (maybe boast about his YouTube channel) and wrangle a test drive.

I can definitely sympathize. I bought a Corrado G60 the summer after college, somehow made it across the country where shortly after I realized what a money pit it would be as a daily driver. Unfortunately at the time, anyone who could afford to maintain those things wasn’t interested them, plus I needed a reliable

Looks like Bob Loblaw lobbed a bomb on the Bob Loblaw blog. He’s a mouthful. 

This is about $10,000 overpriced for an 8-series in good condition. Then again, prices on not-yet-classic Radwood-era cars are all over the map. A quick Google search has 850Cis ranging from $13,000 to $100,000.

I fear we’ll be having the “what was the last American car to offer a manual transmission?” discussion in a few years. 

Take my money, Nobe. I’m obsessed with this thing. Hopefully the missing wheel will allow it to bypass the U.S.’s draconian import rules. If not, I look forward to renting one in Canada.

40 years is a pretty broad “golden-age” for an industry that’s a little more than a century old. I’ll agree it’s in there; but I’d say ‘50s and ‘60s. I do think things have been pretty drab since we swapped chrome and steel for aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, but I’m not sure De Tomaso has the rank to change that. I’

If you’ve never seen Witches of Eastwick, even more so that you confused it with She-Devil and Death Becomes Her (which I can only assume by the comment, you haven’t seen enough), you have some serious homework to do. These are three fantastic, female-driven movies with, OMG, like six or seven of the most amazing

I grew up on a farm with a few apple trees and I don’t think I realized exactly why I hate fall so much until now: Big City leaf peepers snapping pictures (long before Instagram) and trespassing like it was a free zoo. I can’t imagine how annoying it must be to live in Dutch Country in the Age of the Influencer.

I never thought this redneck rust bucket would ever be considered a valuable classic, but the fact that it never ended up in a demolition derby is worth $8000.

Also: would this be, like, “American Bubble Tea”?
