I was pleased to see the tool of choice was a pair of made-in-America Channel-Lock pliers. I’m not a rabid rah-rah-USA type, but Channel-Lock makes good stuff.

Like how they washed a Corvette and when they took it out of the dryer it was an Opel GT?

Don’t forget, these cars get totaled for having a one-inch crack.

Tons of 944s available for around $7K. The S models had even more HP than the Turbo II, and are arguably more attractive.

They usually only do that when they offer a non-meat protein (tofu or hummus) as an option. That way you don’t get funny looks when you order a vegan burrito with cheese and sour cream.

There are literally dozens of -- oh man, I LOVE this song!

I remember going out to visit the VLA once out in BFE New Mexico. Once we left Socorro, not another vehicle on the road the whole way there, just flat, straight desert road. Wouldn’t have hesitated to floor it the whole way, if I hadn’t been taking my entire family on the trip.

I wouldn’t touch a Chrysler-era Mercedes with a ten-foot checkbook. CP all the way.

“choosed”? Really?

I rarely open my sunroof (beyond lifting the back when I park outdoors in the summer), but just having the ability to slide the sunshade back makes such a difference.

People still use facebook?

At least with OnStar, there’s oversight. The cops don’t stop your car, they call OnStar and have them do it. The call and activity logs are (presumably) not available for authorities to edit, but would be available via a court order. Seems a little less ripe for abuse if there’s a neutral third party who’s at least…

So there’s hope for my 944, right? I can stop putting money into my 401k and buy that set of Fikses I’ve been wanting, secure in the knowledge that I’m investing my money wisely?

OMG! Did that Road Runner ad really say “fender flairs”? I thought proofreading didn’t tank until the early 90s.

I always used “Handles like a shopping cart, and the seat’s just as comfortable”.

Whenever I get that feeling, I just fire up iTunes. The horrible interface quickly reminds me why I don’t use it anymore. 

Yep, college girl == Subaru or Jeep. I rarely hear them get enthusiastic over any other cars.

So, basically, once then.

Yeah, my uncle used to get racist after he’d had a few belts...
