It was the standard (which wasn’t called standard, it just ...was) and then the 2+2 (which is so rare that they are called out as such immediately.

I dunno, I might be wrong here. SWB/LWB was always for Jaguars and Audi A8 and stuff like that.

SWB for this particular Z32 meaning a non 2+2? Correct, it’s a true two-seater.

The ‘80s cartoon and toy line was packed with teams of five or six robots combining together into gigantic gestalts, but the Dinobots never got in on the action. When they had to take down Devastator in the 1986 movie, they took him on one-by-one. I remember watching the movie in the theater as a child and hoping to…

As far as “unhinged” driving experience: absolutely.

I’ve pined for a Z32 on various posts before, but this seems like as good a place as any to revisit ...

The Z32 in which I’ve gotten many,many hours of seat time over the past (holy crap) 20 years has the silver painted wheels. In America.

I’m in the finance group of a bigger (ish) company and our CFO gives the finance monkeys half days every Friday during summer. I’m fortunate that my role in the finance group has zero involvement in month-end close type accounting BS, so during the summer months I will routinely think to myself that I did, in fact,…

If your dad’s a tax attorney, then quite possibly, yes.
[No? I’m the only one? Fine then.]

I’m a vocal driver. As much as possible, I try to explain to my kids why I’ve said/muttered/screamed whatever I did at the other person. I am very much aware that my kids are with me and, as such, I try hard not to curse (much). For example:

“I was trying to help that other mommy/daddy understand that they need to wear…

The Monterey one is a Chicago car that’s going to the RM auction this month. No one’s publishing anything re: mileage, so not 100% sure it’s “new”.

I live less than 3 miles from Napleton and I drive past it several times per week (if not 4x daily when my kids have class in that area).

Ford and Caddy are across the street from each other and were both outside for the strike the other day. I’m 90% certain Honda and Mazda were out, too. I didn’t get as far south as…

Reading this in the voice of a man whose job title is “ISIS Comptroller” just seems right.

K1 in Carlsbad (where this was filmed) certainly uses electric karts, yes. (Actually, all K1 locations may have converted to electric now.)

Especially if he had Hodor ...oh. Yeah. I forgot.

Stolen from the parking lot at work. Every. Time.

My MIL had 97 or 98 Q45t with the 4.1L V8. Comfortable car, plenty of space, good on the highway. I drove it on occasion, but the most seat time I ever got was a run from Chicago (ish ...okay, technically like Naperville) to Des Moines IA for my (now wife’s) college graduation.

It wasn’t a torque monster, so stop and…

50 miles on a charge means this is a non-starter for me. I’ve got just about a 25mi commute each way. While there are charging stations available, there’s been an explosion of electrics and hybrids as of late and there are many days where there are no stalls available.

I’m not looking to end my workday with range…

Storms swept the Chicago area this week and my basement flooded for a third time in 15 months. Three separate causes, three separate points of entry. Last two times were 73 days apart.

1a) At what point do I say fuck it and burn the house to the ground?
1b) Can I get help from staff/readers on both an alibi and a good…
