This bad boy. A girl I knew in college needed me to help her with something on her car(so long ago I don’t even know what I did, this was around the early 2000s) but my reward was this... thing. At the time, I had a 97 Mitsu Galant that I entered in shows:

I see getting him to watch the original trilogy and skip the prequels as good parenting. The fact that the son got bored just means he doesn’t feel like watching “C-Span in space”.

We didn’t make a big deal out of the movies before we showed them to him. We were talking about the new movie one day, and he was like, “what’s Star Wars?” Naturally, a 5-year old boy is drawn to such things. We explained the characters (but not the Luke/Darth Vader relationship) and the good guys/bad guys…

my 5-year old was riveted — RIVETED — to the original 3 — he sat through each of the three of them (separate days - we didn’t do a marathon) without once wanting to get up or go play. We got to Episode 1, and within 15 minutes he was off the couch, and not to go play with his lightsaber...he wanted to go upstairs to…

You’re right. The Trans Am IS America as a car. Cheap, loud, ugly, unreliable, and if you saying anything bad about it, people will call you a communist. You pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Wow you are angry. The Hungarian motor indistry is famed for Microcars and Buses. During the Austro-Hungarian empire days they were like any other European country, people made their own cars, following the downfall of the empire and WW2 they were heavily restricted by the Soviets as to what they could do. You work…

12Valv, you need to move your mobile home closer to town where you can get high speed internet, so you can learn more about the history of the automotive industry.

Dude the 90’s Trans Am were really ugly. My friend’s sister had one and it looked so bad even he didn’t want it when it was his turn to inherit the car. Mate’s making the same point that this blog makes about old Fiats and Alfas. 90’s was all about the Japanese sports cars in American and there’s nothing wrong with…

Not you again, I thought Jalopnik’s reader base was largely free of morons. Sadly, some people reading your comment will think you’re joking. That says more about you than it does about them.

You dumbass...just a few names to refresh that little brain of yours:

Quite a few Japanese and German cars. Domestic? Some full-size trucks, because they were arguably tougher than the cars they were sold alongside.

The 90’s were crap for American car design. Some of the most awesome European and Japanese cars came from the 90’s.

American checking in here - that vintage Trans Am looks like a giant phallus on two wheels and had more pork than a trendy Austin BBQ house. Get it off my lawn.

what do the first two W’s stand for in WWW again?

Awwww… Please don’t that awful plastic monstrosity be America: The Car. That’s the kind of shit that makes you want to say you’re Canadian when traveling overseas. I’m sick of Unapologetic Redneck America being the only America.

Corvette or Mustang- maybe. Ford F150 is more likely.

It’s an fat ugly piece of shit, so, yes it’s ‘Muricans in a car.

This is testament to the level of intelligence of said Trans-Am fans.
