LIST PRIME PONY DIRECTIVES:

I was already digging it after Kristen’s write up and playing around with the configurator, but seeing it in person really is something else. Especially at night. It looks like nothing else on the road! 

These are interesting quirks and features! 

Merrill Reese saying “Ron Jaworski.”

So you would argue Coupe DeVille: not a coupe?

You should have rented the 944 with the Martini Racing livery: https://turo.com/rentals/cars/ca/los-angeles/porsche-944/257998

You read my mind. A survivor SC is my perfect 911, and it’s only wishful thinking on my part that prices don’t skyrocket in their case! 

I know BaT is ridiculous, but I’m actually heartened that a couple of cherry 993s didn’t meet reserve recently, even with bids approaching $50k. Hopefully this fever is starting to cool. (Of course, a W123 turbodiesel just sold for $35k (!!!), so what the hell do I know.)

So what’s the story with the 500SEC that’s in like 30 percent of the pictures? Not that it’s not a sweet ride, but...? 

Also the only Gen X Dad Rock ocean song that matters is “Ocean Size,” come on.

Crystal Skull literally has aliens in it. 

So was I! 

I look at the Duncan Century listings whenever I’m feeling blue. I actually rather prefer the first generation, with those fender-mounted mirrors and the delightfully anachronistic digital dash of the late-80s models. 

Well it looks as though no one has posted either, so, opposite ends of the spectrum:

Weird Al did a song for the Transformers soundtrack that was not a direct parody but kind of a DEVO pastiche and Mark Mothersbaugh has always said of the synth sound in that song that he wanted to kill Al for doing DEVO better than DEVO could.

Yeah, it’s a lot more defensible to buy a piece of shit for a kid who’ll drive it till the wheels fall off when the national speed limit is 55 (they even wrote a song about this!), a 5-liter V8 produces less than 200hp, and 0-60 times hover around “eventually” than it is when every mall cruising, 6000-pound hunk of…

Damn, that shot of you cruising the National Park dirt roads with the top disassembled has me seriously lusting after a Jeep for the first time in my life?

Hatchbacks, but for very rare cases such as the 928 or the Nissan Silvia, always look like the Fisher-Price version of a proper sedan or coupe.

You’d be surprised: I live in the LES and work in FiDi and I see scores of new Cadillacs and Lincolns every day. Certainly many of them are from car service fleets, but I see enough parked on the street in the same places overnight to know Old American Luxury still resonates in New York City.

Fine Fare carries it. Try shopping at a “grocery store” instead of an artisanal Brooklyn meat procurium sometime!
