I’m already imagining the holiday TV commercial. The camera pans over a chalkboard full of equations, lingers on a leather accordion briefcase containing term papers and spilled pipe tobacco, and through an ancient window we see a small, sensible older European car, while the voiceover intones, “Faculty Club.

Yes, it’s a VW.

Not Alpinas. These look like AC Schnitzers that someone chromed. Of course, they could be knockoffs. I’ve never seen a BMW branded radar detector before. Also, that’s a car cover, not a tool bag (unless you’re describing the seller).

Is Guy Fieri a flaming Hot Wheels car come to life? Yes.

That was fucking gruesome.

There are three phases of “dream car ownership” for men.

This Mustang has plenty of power to get you onto the sidewalk, chasing pedestrians, but it's also the perfect color to give everyone fair warning.  With no top, it also ensures you have some skin in the game.  NP

Ask the man who owned one...

I feel like sloppy steering is a factory setting for most old school SUVs.  My FJ62 Land Cruiser felt like the steering wheel was merely suggesting the general direction in which the wheels should point

Why does he need a welfare check? I just assumed he somehow finally managed to get that damned $600 Chrysler minivan as far as Amsterdam and was enjoying some of the... recreational commodities available in the city.

Your Tudor is a hamster, and your Coupe smells of elderberries. Now go away, or I shall taunt you some more about your siding.
