Step 1: have no disposable income

People didn’t pay a million bucks for some random rare muscle car new either. And they really have no more or less intrinsic value than this does. Nostalgia can be a hell of a drug.

Unfortunately most of the cool C&C meets with cool interesting cars come from upper class areas.  NIMBY and Karen’s are rather thick in those areas.

I don’t own one but I swear the folks I know who either owned or own a Jeep XJ ( Older boxy Cherokee) seem to get an insane amount of miles out of them. And one of them belonged to a friend of mine who NEVER changed the transmission fluid and only changed the oil when he randomly thought about it. He put close to…

X factory workers definitely assemble better Xs than accountants for the X manufacturing company.

GM: How about you fix your BS instead of pushing it off on us to fix the results of it?

For anyone wondering: Yes, I listened to Dragula on repeat for the duration of researching and writing this

Woah, calm down, dude.  There are children present.

People having fun with cars in a way that isn’t unsafe is good actually.

I have been immunized against Small Pox, twice. I want my first Gen Viper

Hank Pym’s Spitfire in Ant-Man.  C’mon, that’s Jalop AF.

Cars now are safer and more powerful, but they are getting crazy over complicated to where working on stuff yourself is less doable for your average person. I would say the are increasing…

You have obviously never really been in a rural farming community.  Not everyone can live in walkable communities when the distance between houses can be measured in thousands of feet.  And this was done that way well before cars were invented.  People still traveled this distances on horse and buggies, but they also…

Seriously, I’m so fucking disgusted by police in this country. I’d sooner run to a gang member for help before I’d run to any cop at this point, especially given my skin color. The cop’s more likely to murder me and get away with it anyway these days.

8/10 anytime I hear, “We can’t find anyone for this position!” it’s because the hours are shit, the work is shit, and the pay is shit.

“Worker shortage” is code for “low paying job.”

I don’t get this take at all. This car is a beautiful automotive work of art. Does celebrating engineering only apply when we deem, several decades later, who might have commissioned or enjoyed it at the time and what their motives were?
