That sounds like FCA. Spend the money to develop a whole new engine that they’ll sell hundreds of while their American market cars are almost old enough to buy alcohol.

Sociologically interesting but not something I (an Old) have an emotional response to, not that it’s meant for my ears . The irony of the poppy music against the darker lyrics is interesting but it’s been done and all of the processing takes the humanity out of it for me.

To be fair, Hanks’s real life didn’t feature hookers, drugs and sex with donkeys. Belushi, on the other hand...

It amuses me to no end that the guy who starred in Bachelor Party which featured hookers, drugs, and attempted sex with a donkey (the donkey overdosed), is now considered “America’s Dad”.

The 70s disaster movies loved stacking their casts. I think they thought it gave them some legitimacy. 

Airport ‘77?

I don’t think it was the horsepower, it was the number of cylinders that offended the type of buyer who would be interested in that nostalgia trip. 

A Dagwood. Too big, too messy, mostly fictional. 

When companies refer to employees as “team members” you can be sure that they are screwing them over. 

In the military, the Navy in particular, the Kool-Aid type stuff they serve is called “bug juice” and the flavors are only referred to by color since those flavors do not exist in nature. Red was my favorite.

The Subaru swap in the VW redeems it. The idea of driving that from Canada to the American Southwest without the swap gives me hives. The idea of being stuck behind it in the mountains isn’t any better. Whatever he chooses I really hope it’s something that can maintain its speed in the mountains and not something…
