Echo, echo:

The Toyota Supra just strikes me as wildly overrated when you check the specs:

Whomever coined the name “Sitler”...that was genius.

Reading this article would be as pointless as one all about breeding unicorns...making a big deal out of something that doesn’t exist.

This flick is going to completely bomb--like that Ben Affleck knights dueling disaster, only worse.

Drivers of these high-torque monsters must “think” they develop driving skills by osmosis—just because you can plant your ass in a Viper’s driver seat (or a Charger’s) and can drive it like Granny would on her way to the Safeway, that doesn’t mean you’re an expert in how the car responds when you put your foot in it.

NFT: nitwit financially taken--that’s my axiom.

You seen a modern Challenger parked next to a classic Challenger?

Is it too late for an entry to that Ugliest Wheels list?  Cheese graters slapped onto each wheel do not impress.

Reminds me of a key plot point of One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich: you don’t pull your weight with your gulag work gang, then the whole group suffers. You can imagine that gotcha keeps prison slackers in line.

A camper that’ll tip over with a crosswind of 10mph...nope, not gonna happen.

So before designing the Millennio, did someone take an overdose of Syd Mead pills?
