“Rock Lobster” may not translate well, but who doesn’t like a mile-high beehive and horn rimmed glasses?

“When you think about hunting,” think about generations of Americans killing every last bird, fish, and animal they can lay eyes on until they’re either extinct, endangered, or on the brink. Or simply out of undeveloped land and clean water to live in, thanks in great part to the infrastructure resulting from putting…

If you never drove one of these, you’d vote CP, but if you had, you’d Nice Price it for sure. My boss at Kennedy Space Center had one and arranged for a few of us to take it out to the SLF (Shuttle Landing Facility) and have at it. The power and handling were astonishing. He did a “Q-Ship” routine on it and took all…

I loved my Honda VFR’s VTEC engine for the same reason. You’d wind it out, and just when you were thinking the party was over: wham! The VTEC would kick in and the wheel would come up. Many a pillion rider got a surprise out of that feature.

I'm from Florida. Get over it.

Proof chicks really do dig handbrake turns.

Wait, I thought the ad meant if I have a Hudson, I can knock up a girl 30 years younger than me.

That T-Bird is Gargantuan-O-Matic!

It’s a manatee for sure, right down to the nose whiskers.

My wife got a C-Segment when my son was born.

One of the reasons I’m liking these Paper Jam articles so much is that I’m learning about the US auto market from the time I was just entering it. By the mid 1970's my Dad was buying Datsuns, my best friends Pinto had self-destructed, and my uncle’s prized Vega Cosworth was a rust bucket. To this day I have yet to own…

I can’t wait for the next ad, when we’ll learn more about Vega’s Economy Plus. Perhaps the “Plus” is the self-destructing body panels.

I did the opposite back in the 80’s when I had a diesel Sentra. I was on my way to work at KSC at 4am for the second flight of the Space Shuttle, and I was so nervous about the launch I filled up with gas. Just as I finished topping up I realized what I’d done. I told the station owner, who removed the drain plug from…

Thank you for sharing these ads. They’re such a great look into our automotive culture here and abroad.

They certainly know how to put on a roll-out show. Boeing, watch and learn.

If my garage looked like that I’d grab a steel spike and drive it into my eyes until I couldn’t see it anymore. Your work-space is half the battle. Clean that pigsty up.

I wanted to find out more about the Unicam design:

Six billion dollars....for a destroyer. That’s more than half the cost of an aircraft carrier. The DoD is completely nuts.

Horseshit. Defense spending is by far and away the least effective at creating middle class jobs and developing communities. It creates a few very high paying jobs, a huge inventory of useless crap, and enormous profits for a select set of elite corporations.

I don’t mean to get carried away here, but wow...damn..holy shit. That’s the coolest racing paint scheme I’ve ever seen. It’s fits the shapes of the car as well as the Marlboro liveries fit the F1 cars of the 80s. The word “iconic” definitely fits.
