1) It’s an Alfa Romeo...not the car of an “auto enthusiast”, but a you-are-a-glutton-for-punishment car.

You do understand that Ford has continuously built the Mustang since 1964, don’t you?

That’s brilliant.

1) Dude sounds like my type of hero.

Uh-huh. And Warner Bros thought Bryan Singer would be the savior of the Superman franchise and that episode turned into a total disaster. I’ll believe it when I see it.

No one is putting a gun to the head of any sucker, uh, fan to pay those prices. If fools cough up that much dough and the race organizers make a profit, you can count on getting boned even worse next year. So all us peasants can do is hope the organizers lose their shirts so either the LV race is kaput or next year…

Appears to be in good shape, you get two tops, the electric drain can be managed by disconnecting the battery till you fix it, there’s a plow so you can explain to your grandkids what “snow” used to be and it’s practically credit card money to buy it.

Pffftttttt!  She could’ve said no.

Yet another reminder how software-as-a-service dependent on going-obsolete hardware* means yet another way customers can be boned. (“Enjoying all those luxury features on your luxury automobile? Hah! Not anymore!”)

All I see is a fascia that screams “Extreme underbite!”

Why, it’s practically a time capsule from the Seventies--the huge overhangs front and back, the wheezing V8, the overstuffed interior--I still don’t want it.  Like, not at all.

Anyone can talk the talk, let’s see Chief Twit walk the walk.

No, it won’t. Jaw-droppingly expensive chunky station wagons don’t get my motor going—jaw-droppingly expensive German chunky station wagons even more so.

Funny, that’s EXACTLY what I commented on just yesterday:

Oh look: mere hours after my Hurricane comment, Dodge admits it could well be true:

I’m surprised that the MAGA Moron’s car hasn’t been vandalized yet.

And Spielberg proved that he had his shit totally together from Day One with Duel.

As many times as I’ve railed against the generic Dove soap bar look, the Germans have a point. Styling basically doesn’t exist anymore—anyone, your grandma, that dumb sixth grade kid down the street—can style a car nowadays. And it’ll look halfway decent too since there’s nothing tough about coming up with a…
