At least their Countach model does a good job of approximating the real deal.

The Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser wagon:

Considering how Spaceballs was a blatant cash-grab that just wasn’t that funny, we can only hope there won’t be a sequel.

On m first viewing I thought Spaceballs was one of the funniest movies I had ever watched. Subsequent viewings have been disappointing. Based on that I’m not sure I’m keen on another.

“BMW designers and executives seemed to embrace the controversial design and essentially said they didn’t care if the car was a success or not.”

Wow those tires look like rubber bands.  In my experience regular ol’ BMW’s eat tires due to a lot of negative camber and staggered tire sizes (can’t rotate).  I imagine with the power this puts out, the super low profile of the tires, and the weight of the vehicle this is going to go through some tires.

Considering how an insurance company’s whole schtick is to be knowledgeable about vehicles’ values so they don’t shaft themselves, you are completely wrong.

As a Dodge fanatic, you’d think I’d be performing cartwheels over this pickup and you’d be wrong, wrong, wrong.

The late Seventies Toyota Celica fastback ripoff of the Mustang:

Here’s an ‘87 that sold for $20.5K—the BaT premium—when the pandemic first hit:

Whichever company was first bringing Glossy Primer Gray to the market (Audi?) has me convinced that their Paint Styling department put GPG on their list of possible colors just to show to the decision makers as a joke—see how they’d react to such a noncolor. Only their joke backfired and Glossy Primer Gray became

I actually know a couple of guys, it’s always guys, who love it, or claim to. I don’t think anyone just is “OK” with it, you love it or hate it. Even my one very conservative friend, both in cars and colors, hates DG with a passion, and he likes very muted colors on vehicles. Another friend loves DG and plans to look

F8 Green, and ANY green, isn’t even in the same class as these shitty not-colors entirely devoid of metal flake. They just look like somebody sprayed water on a lump of the most dystopian variety of Play-doh and convinced entirely too many people it was cool and edgy... or something. Honestly, I still haven’t wrapped

We call it “Grey Primer Pearlcoat” around here. My previous most hated color was F8 Green. I still hate F8, but not at near the level of DG. My one friend who was born in the old USSR says it reminds him of his childhood in whatever town they lived in, most everything was f’ing grey. 

How “excellent” on their part. Now I have another noncolor that I can hate as much as Glossy Primer Gray:

It’s an illustrated Bible... And for some reason, Trump only bookmarked the bit about Lot shagging his daughters. 

Wow, you are bitter.

I’d argue the opposite is true. Due to cars being screen-happy lately, people are fed up with dealing with UI screens and mfgrs are finally heeding consumer unrest. The Euros have done the right thing and mandated that if you want a 5-star safety rating, certain controls must be physical buttons—hallelujah—good for

Don’t know who he is, but it also looks like one of th S’s in Shutzstaffel:

So it is the same car...good find. The $10K price drop still has me tingling...being realistic since how many men are out there as potential buyers of a decade-plus old McLaren with some serious mods?
