Not real advice but I scared the shit out of someone with it nonetheless.

There is something so calming about Motorweek. It’s like watching fish with nowhere to be.

Reverse: Thanks to a regular diet of PBS cartoons on weekend mornings, my now 4 year old was frequently seeing the beginning of Motorweek. At one point the then 2 year old tossed out “Ooh! Motorweek!unprompted, and I laughed so hard he immediately made that his ingrained response to John Davis's greeting.

HOLY SH?T!!! Not only is that my neighbor’s car, but my house is featured prominently in the pictures.

‘57 Chevy’s are overrated, overhyped, and overplayed. (And as a boomer I guess I’m supposed to swoon over them.) I never did get the attraction and this one has way too many warts for the price. ND.

“Given the option, companies will always pay workers as little as possible. This is the only truth.” Yes. True. People will pay as little as possible as well. If you hire something done at your home you will seek out the best intersection of cost and quality. When buying a product the same. Workers in a factory are no

The first one that popped to mind: The 2CV from the criminally underrated Bond film “For Your Eyes Only.”

landed on my feet with my cigarette still in my mouth!

Exactly, the last spot you want to be during a car crash is in the car! I drive with the windows down and unbelted. If there is a crash, I use my catlike reflexes to jump out the window to safety. If I had to undo a seatbelt, I wouldn’t make it out in time.

Derek Kieper was an anti seatbelt advocate who died in a car crash where a seatbelt would have saved his life.

Good synergy between 1st and Reverse: Bolts catching on fire and the middle name of GM’s founder is Crapo

Tesla fanboys:

Sadly, a clean fox body shell is worth $10k these days. If it’s actually rust free this is a good price, spend a bit returning it to stock and sell for $25k.

I remember seeing that something like 66% of drug-dog positives are false positives.  

Those quotes all translate to: his color was brown.

“Sounding suspicious as hell”, “not trusting banks”, and “raising red flags for random internet commentators” is not, as far as I’m aware, any legal test for the seizure of assets.  

I used to drive a Hyundai Excel in hilly East Tennessee. I know exactly how slow that is. I remember how achingly ponderous the otherwise lightweight Excel felt while rolling out.

Sure, I am an original Ranger owner, for over 28 years! I had a 1993 XLT Supercab with the 4.0L engine, even had a camper shell. Just sold it hours after posting on Craigslist for $4,000 (a grand more than I originally wanted), even though it had terrible paint, falling down headliner and 200,000 miles!
